New Poll: Which Company Would You Like to Drill Your Well?

Results of the most recent poll: with regard to the news that Enbridge will reverse the Seaway, slightly more than 60% felt this was good news for "WTI/Bakken."  Twenty percent said it would have no effect; and slightly less than 20 percent said they did not know what the reversal was all about when they voted. In other words, folks who knew about the Seaway reversal thought this was good for WTI/Bakken -- overwhelmingly so.

The reversal has hardly begun, but to the best of my knowledge, there has not yet been much change, but it's probably too early to judge. We'll check back on this in six months or so, if I remember.

I am really excited about the new poll. Whether or not you own mineral rights, I'm curious about this: if you had mineral rights to lease, which company would you prefer to drill "your" well? There are some "nuances" here -- it's not as straightforward as one might think.

  4. I have small interest with Brigham and EOG as operators.
    I voted Brigham, but Whiting would be a close 2nd.
