Week 17: April 26, 2015 -- May 2, 2015

One of the top stories this past week might be the fact that the price of WTI may have hit a new floor: $60. Another top story are the new North Dakota state oil production tax laws (linked below).

I drove from Dallas (Texas) to Williston; visited my dad for a few days, and then drove back to Dallas (Texas). Without question, the top story of the week has to be Reuters finding another reason why President Obama won't be announcing a decision on the Keystone XL before this October (2015).
