Geeze, don't blow it. Some people don't know about some things and will
believe anything you tell them.
Like I said .... for you, $1,200.00

And it's spelled, "Balladeer" with two "e's".

But keep it quiet, will ya? Everyone will want one.

Eisboch

No offense, but when I'm about to make a big investment in anything, I
need to check it out. The fact that you have collected six of these
babys leads me to believe it's probably a good investment, but I gotta
be sure.

Ah, yes. Jump on the train. Sate yourself with stuff.

It's American.

Oddly, there is a similar field off the coast of New Jersey at about the

Interesting.
You know, Tom, production has never been our problem. IIRC, we are still
the third largest petroleum producer. It's our insatiable appetite.
Without addressing that appetite, there won't be any magical production
bullet. This country has been the most prospected country on the
planet. We know where the oil is, it's a matter of recovery. Hell, that
Bakken Formation was discovered in the early fifties, but the recovery
technologies (horizontal drilling) is relatively recent. Even now, the
technically recoverable oil from that formation, @ 4 billion barrels,
would only last us about eight months.
Directional drilling has been around since the '40s when Sperry
developed the gyroscope during the war and that technology was applied
to drilling. That technology was improved on in the early '70s with
mud motors (I was actually on the first test bore - Texaco #5 in the
Gulf). The more recent innovation that I'm familiar with is Auto Trek
with the Quantec bits built by Baker/Hughes.

My point is that the field is bigger and more accessible than
previously thought - plus there seems to be a companion field close to
it and the Canadian fields look to have a similar configuration.

If we have the technology and we can access this supply while we build
our "renewable" future and slowly reduce our dependence on fossil
fuels while keeping prices low and buying time to build a more
efficient transmission system (Smart Grid) with more environmentally
friendly energy sources, why not do it?

This rush to IMMEDIATELY stop thinking about our own supplies of
fossil fuels and change to hopefully new sources is silly.
Hope and change is silly? Why that's un American.

Caught that did you? I'm sorry - I know we're all trying to change
the tone of the group, but I couldn't resist. :)

Now I'm curious - the suspense will kill me.

Well, maybe not kill me, but certainly annoy me.

Hey, annoying you... That's my job. But I can use all the help I can
get, so, I'll take it;)

Not directional drilling, horizontal drilling. The shale formation is @
140' thick, 2 miles down. Tricky target. We used to directional drill
to cover more territory from one location, but horizontal drilling is new
to me.

Hey, I can't disagree with anything you say. It isn't going to be *one*
solution, but a multitude of solutions. Nuclear, wind, solar, oil, and
even coal, will play a part, but ultimately, cutting down on our appetite
has to also be a part.

I agree with you - consumption has to also be a part of the solution.

And here's the odd part - I think that most folks would agree with us.
I mean if you and I can agree, and we're a little apart in the
political sense, why can't the morons running the country see that and
work find the solutions we need?

I don't get it.

You're upset with the conservative trait of resisting change?

You may not be aware of it, but we've entered a cease fire on the
whole liberal/conservative thing.

It seems to be working.
