This is not an investment site, but I learned early on one cannot follow the oil and gas industry, nor can one really understand the Bakken, without following the companies. One learns who is doing what and, to some extent, how well they are doing it in the industry by watching their share price.
It was back on January 27, 2011, a little over three years ago when I noted a brand new name to me in the drilling business: Helmerich and Payne. During the week of January 31, 2011, HP was selling for $59. I have mentioned Helmerich and Payne often since that first time.
Today, I see HP has surged over $3.00 and is now solidly above $100/share.
