Is the Bakken over-hyped? The proof is in the pudding.

Some folks opine that "the Bakken" is over-hyped. Maybe it is. But today there are links to three national or out-of-state newspapers talking about the Bakken in North Dakota. The newspapers: the New York Times, USA Today, and the Sacramento Bee.

USA Today has front-page article on influx of workers and effect on national census.

Another CLR presentation; nothing new here. It is their presentation at Platts Annual Oil Conference.  If the link breaks, go to CLR home page and then to investor relations and then to presentations.

Full-page story in the New York Times, byline, Williston, North Dakota. I never expected to see my home town as a by-line for a NY Times article.

Business news in the Sacramento Bee (Sacramento, CA): capacity to ship oil finally catches up with production in the Bakken.
