  2. 1. Old
    2. There must be a better way to get into it.
    3. Mostly not Bakken

    But, I have wanted to see some of the DUG/DUO presentations, but did not know how. This is it. There is a lot of good stuff.

    But, to get it, click on the video, then you get one after another, more than one on each video, bumper music to wake the dead, and limited control.

    Yet, there is some very interesting stuff, even though it is old.

    The random topics are both good and bad. Like a box of chocolate, you never know what you will get next.

    There are some Bakken topics, and it comes up in other topics.

    So, click and enjoy for hour after hour, if it interests you.

    Be patient between topics, and be ready to mute for 10 seconds.

  3. This is superb on so many levels. I have just listened to the first five minutes of the first presentation, and you are correct: excellent.

    One of the nice things, one can run it in the background, listen to it, while doing other things.

    In addition, it reminded me to link Oil and Gas Investor, something I've been meaning to do for quite some time, but keep forgetting.

    By the way, I see that this conference was held in my current hometown: San Antonio.
