Such a Tremendous Waste of Our Water Resources

Can't you imagine in some backroom, probably in DC, a bunch of 20 something policy wonks coming up with this brain child, "Here's an idea, let's become reliant on an energy source based in the desert that is dependent upon the use of H2O!"

US is heading towards a gas deliverability crisis

Bill Powers has an article

Highlights.

"The two most important factors in the production profile of a play are its decline curve and its reserve life."

Anyone around long enough to remember the 1983 movie “Trading Places” with Eddie Murphy where two callous brothers (the Dukes) corner the frozen orange juice market? In the end, Winthorpe (Dan Aykroyd)and Billie Ray Valentine (Eddie Murphy) gained advanced knowledge that the supply of orange juice was not harmed by a frost- trading on the information they made a fortune in a few… Continue

Haynesville Shale—A Primer (Part 1 of 3)

Haynesville Shale—A Primer

Authors: Brian Bohm, P.G., ALL Consulting; Teri S. Holmes, M.S., ALL Consulting

Introduction

Natural gas captured from organic shale formations is not new to the oil and gas industry; shale gas has been produced since the early 1800s (DOE, 2009). Most shale gas formations have historically been deemed economically impractical to drill due to the available technology and relative abundance of domestic conventional natural gas… Continue

Governmental Intrusion

Can anyone tell me about the bill that passed that raised the "non-participation" drilling expense percentage to go up from 200% to 300%?
I'd like to see a list of the lawmakers that sold out the people.
please reply and thanks

Oil Prices Fall Below $66/Barrell; Natural Gas Prices Near $3/1,000 Cubic Feet at Mid-AUG. '09 As Economic Fears Flare

Oil prices fell below $66/barrell on Aug. 17 despite three (3) tropical weather systems brewing (one done, two cooking... "Claudette", "Ana" & Hurcn. "Bill"). The appearance of hurricanes and tropical storms, which can damage oil and natural gas operations in the Gulf of Mexico, were outweighed by new reports today showing that nervous consumers are holding on to their money as the economic recession drags on.

In morning trading on Aug. 17, benchmark crude for September delivery… Continue
