ESER Is Back On-LIne -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Elsewhere it was noted that ESER is back on-line.

For newbies, try this: click on this link, and then using the tool on the left side of the Google map when you get to the size, ZOOM OUT (click on the "-" sign two or three times) and you will get a graphic display of the difference in the activity on the Sanish field (to the left) compared to the Parshall field (to the right). The Sanish field is "owned" by Whiting; the Parshall field is "owned" by EOG. It appears that much of the eastern half of the Parshall will not be all that productive, but the entire Sanish will be highly productive.  

I used to visit the ESER site periodically and then it seemed to disappear or limit accessibility, I forget, and gradually I lost interest.

But today, someone noted that ESER was back on-line.

The map of the Bakken looks like the opening credits of Bonanza, where the map of the west is burning, blazing, and the Cartwright brothers coming riding out. No Cartwright brothers at ESER but a burning map nonetheless.

Hopefully it stays up long enough for me to take some time with it.

Piece of trivia: there are very, very few ads on the front page of the LA Times website. ESER Oil and Gas Search is one of them.  [Noted on July 30, 2011.]
