Great Review -- Update of Oil Exploration and Production in the US -- Led by the Bakken, North Dakota, USA

This is a great review / update for both newbies and those very familiar with the Bakken.

Because of the reference to Credit Suisse analysts early (and also later) in the story, the journalist most likely put this story together while attending the Credit Suisse Group Energy Conference in Vail, Colorado, this week.

Note that a contributing AP reporter was reporting from Stanley, North Dakota.
