Bruce why not a link to the unpublished work of DR Price..
ReplyDeleteLeigh Price Paper: "Origins and Characteristics of the Basin-Centered Continuous Reservoir Unconventional Oil-Resource Base of the Bakken Source System, Williston Basin"
The EERC has received a research paper entitled "Origins and Characteristics of the Basin-Centered Continuous-Reservoir Unconventional Oil-Resource Base of the Bakken Source System, Williston Basin" by Leigh Price. This paper contains valuable, comprehensive information about the potential oil resources in the Bakken Formation within the Williston Basin of eastern Montana and western North Dakota. The attached document represents work as it stood at the time of Leigh Price's death.
here is the link.

Got it, thanks. Linked. That is a most important paper. Absolutely incredible.
ReplyDeleteBruce, FWIW here are a few more informative and interesting links for Bakken Shale Investors to check out:
ReplyDeleteShale Gas Revolution Hype and Reality UK report
“However, it is important to repeat the point made earlier about the characteristics of shale gas fields: because of the enormous geological differences, not just between plays but between wells in the same play, extrapolation from one play or well to another needs to be treated with extreme care. There is no clear aggregate ‘learning by doing’ curve.33 Nonetheless, the recent impact of shale on US domestic gas supplies can be seen from Figure 6.” From pg 23 of 46pg UK report.

North Dakota'sUnconventional Oil Boom and Risks to Scarce Water September 16, 2010 by Keith Schneider
The EnergyCollective Blog site. Over at Circle of Blue, where I serve as senior editor, we've been working on Choke Point: U.S., a series of original articles about the tightening contest between rising energy demand and diminishing supplies of fresh water. In our latest chapter, we explored the big boom in oil and gas production on the northern Great Plains, where energy companies are tapping the "unconventional" Bakken Shale.

Thank you for stopping by. I will link those.
ReplyDeleteGoing back through the historical documents is mind-boggling. The 2006 EIA is particularly helpful for newbies who want to know some of the challenges of fracking.
Your first point about different shale plays being very different is very, very true. It should also be noted that North Dakota oil formations are best studied anywhere in the world.
Again, thank you for more suggestions.
The reports conclusions are wrong.....Shoemaker contributed discussion about the fairway, and this study rejected it. Shoemaker is right of course because he/she is referring to the Red Wing impactor, which is the source for all oil in the bakken....by the process known as nucleation
