"Renewable energy and clean-burning natural gas are the basis of a new strategy the world needs to create a cleaner and more secure future. And the global transformation to a clean-energy economy may be the greatest economic opportunity of the 21st century."…
Every now and again I get inquiries from shalers - so I thought I'd put these in a blog and see if we can give some insights to these shalers. Please note that I consider the discussion forum to be the best place to seek answers and not me, so don't fill my inbox.
"Murry 31#1 well - Can anyone tell me if this well is pumping?"
"Well 239644, Section 15, Desota Parish - This well is completed in the Holley field. Anyone have any information of wells close by that… Continue
It includes numbers on the Haynesville, Marcellus, Barnett, and Fayetteville plays. The slide compares 24 Range wells in the Marcellus to public production information from the others.
Looks like the decline rates are similar until you get beyond the first year Then itl ooks like the… Continue
I arrived at Congressman John Fleming’s office, which is located in the Longworth Building, around 3:30 and took a seat. Soon thereafter, Fleming came out of a meeting. Of course, as the way things go at Congressional offices, Fleming had to run down to the floor to cast a vote. So after a brief intro and a handshake, he was gone as… Continue
"Exxon is most encouraged by the exploration of 250,000 acres it has leased in the Horn River Basin, in northern British Columbia. Mr. Cejka said results from the first four wells lead the company ..."
In a special report on hydraulic fracturing, in the July 6th edition of the Oil and Gas Journal, the authors write that, “the need for communication of accurate information to the public, lawmakers, and regulators is imperative on various drilling-related topics, including hydraulic fracturing, water use and supply, and surface use. [Especially given the] active development of massive US natural gas shale plays in regions of the country….”… Continue
Inspiration for me has been challenging to come by over the last 10 days or so. Last Sunday night, we got the midnight call that none of us ever want to receive; my wife’s brother, Dennis, had been shot & killed at his residence.

"At issue is a drilling practice called "fracking," in which water is injected into the ground at high pressure to fracture the layers of shale and release natural gas trapped in the rock. There is no consensus among scientists about whether the practice is contributing to the quakes. But such… Continue
