The Dickinson Press is reporting:
Kathy Neset may be the only oilfield geologist who uses a bendable drinking straw as a key tool for her job.
The
Tioga woman uses the straw to educate people about horizontal drilling,
one of the technologies that’s unlocked the Bakken and made North
Dakota the second-highest oil-producing state.
With the whole
world interested in knowing more about what’s happening in North Dakota,
Neset is in high demand to inform visiting federal officials and local
residents about the state’s geology and the technology making the boom
possible.
“I love sharing the story of this Bakken and then
letting people make up their minds as to whether they think this is a
good thing for North Dakota and for America,” said Neset, president of
Neset Consulting Service.
Neset, a New Jersey native and Brown University graduate, moved to North Dakota in 1979 to work as a wellsite geologist.
I think there was more to the story why she moved to North Dakota. The North Dakota oil patch was not exactly the center of the oil universe in 1979.
