Human Interest / Update on the Niobrara in Wyoming/Colorado

Link here to the Casper Wyoming Star Tribune.

After several years of booming, oil development in the Bakken oilfield in North Dakota is leveling off. Plus, constant advances in drilling technology have prompted oil companies, including Anadarko and Devon Energy and servicing companies such as Schlumberger, to turn their attention to Converse County, giving some who left the area for work elsewhere an opportunity to return home.

“A friend of mine who used to work for Schlumberger now works for a company out of Buffalo and he is out in North Dakota. And he heard that they are going to try to bring him back for [Powder River Basin], so he’s hoping to come home. Supply companies like that have been beginning to move back from North Dakota to the PRB,” Kristiansen said.
