Don't miss Mad Money on CNBC tonight 8/24. Cramer will be highlighting the new technologies of fracking for oil and super pads. They say it is profitable as low as $65 oil. What does this mean for the Austin Chalk in Louisiana? Also they are talking about the economics of delivering higher price light oil from the Bakken to Louisiana refineries. What would this tecnology mean do for the discovery for large scale light oils reserves in Louisiana if the Chalk play is what some think it is?

littleasy, your second link is broken and inoperable.  Please repost.  Thanks.
HYDRAULIC AND PNEUMATIC FRACTURING

Sorry.

 

In the Tusc Boom of the late 70's and early 80's, vertical wells drilled in the same area of PC Parish could test between 0-700 bopd in the AC, depending on whether fractures were encountered.  It was a hit or miss proposition with a single well bore.  The regional uplift of the Port Hudson field (salt dome) could be a source of fractures in this region?  At that time, the R&D was not able to exploit these random observations.

 

 

Still doesn't work, the url is incomplete.  Thanks for trying.
Skip, I didn't encounter any problems with either link.  It looks like the page didn't load but if you will scroll down the full page appears.
Thanks, jffree1.  When I click on the link, I do not get a page so there is no option to scroll down.
Thanks for trying again.  Maybe it's just my computer acting up.  Neither is working.
My inability to open the links is due to a recent Firefox browser upgrade.  I have gone back to Version 3.6 to remedy the problem.  Members should be aware of this problem.  If it is as pervasive as I suspect, we may need to start a discussion thread to address the problem of non-compatible software combinations as the competition between companies heats up.

Ship, for comparison purposes

 

I am using Windows XP and Firefox 5 optimized for Yahoo since I'm w att.  I had to switch from their DSL to U-verse service to have a stable internet connection.  I don't think they fully support DSL today.  More bottom line $ in phasing out legacy DSL, IMHO.  WE don't care, we don't have to!!!

I'm running a 64 bit -Windows 7 os.  My email is googlemail and my browsers are Firefox and IE.  I use IE primarily for the numerous databases and remote clerk accounts I use and Firefox for everything else.  Newer browser versions bring problems with compatibility to many webpages.  For example MS wants you to upgrade to IE version 9 but when you do you discover it doesn't work with the databases and remote accounts even though those webpages are designed for IE.  Sure the newer versions may browse faster and have other improvements but if it will not work for the primary tasks needed, it's a waste of time.  My Firefox upgrade made it impossible to use your links to access the pdf's.  So we have MS, Firefox, Adobe and others who will complicate our lives because they will not play well together.  Reminds me of Congress.
Yes, it's why IT departments are slow to upgrade.  A stable OS is the oil equivalent of a gusher and a 1/3 royalty.
