Has any anyone heard of GSFVF which is a gasfracking company out of Canada. Was wondering if any of that is being done in the bakken?
ReplyDeleteThere are two questions in that comment:
Delete1. Has anyone heard of GSFVF? Yes. At the sidebar at the right, under the "Top Ten" there is a site "Fracking Companies." Click on that link and scroll through the comments. Gas Frac is mentioned.
2. I am not aware that GSFVF is in the Williston Basin Bakken.
