10,000 years ago, that part of the world was under a mile of glacial ice.
what differecne does it make? Nobody is goign to be able to afford energy in the very near future trhanks to our dear leaderr who has VOWED that energy prices are goign to skyrocket under his watch-
Thanks America- Thansk for voting in our demise
Wonder what Putin thinks about this new found wealth?
No matter what the kleptocrats in Washington say to the public, they will keep the machine running so long as it benefits themselves.
The UK doesn’t need 50 years of shale/oil. In 25 years it’ll be Libya as various Muslim factions fight over the table scraps of a once proud nation.
For some obscure reason people don’t seem to realize that most countries in the world have immense reserves of shale gas. Including most European countries.
The great advantage of shale gas is not that it will make the US energy self-sufficient, though that is double plus good, but that it will make perhaps most countries in the world energy-independent, greatly reducing the importance, though not perhaps the income, of our enemies with all the non-shale oil.
This is getting hilarious. Every few months a new gigantic find of oil or gas is being reported. The tree hugger’s heads must be exploding.
Excellent. I like to see Western powers be self-sufficient.
Now..., lets just hope the UK remains a Western Power.
It’s another nation suffering from immigration overload.
LOL, for certain...
Now, stop importing Jihadis.
The technology for finding, recovering, and even the more efficient use of, oil and gas just keeps increasing. One of these days some scientist who isn’t thinking about the politics of it is going to announce, with a stack of hard data in front of him to back it up, that there is enough gas and oil to go hog wild for a million years. ;-)
While the shale isn’t going to be a replenished resource, oil seems to be to a certain extent. This must drive the moon-bat left into the arms of their on-call psychologists.
Glad that is not a part of my life.
I personally don’t agree with that number, depending on the number of well and how many stages you have in your fracks we open up allot of area. Gas like oil is not trapped in it’s zone but it does take time for it to migrate. Maybe at some point and time it doesn’t migrate fast enough to be cost effective but it will continue to migrate non the less. I shut in a well on the backside of the ranch back in 98, it was down to about 2 barrels a day. I went in and pulled the pum. checked the tubing and put it back on line, it made 348 barrels in the first 3 weeks, today it’s making about 5 barrels a day and I expect it to be down to two here shortly. That oil and gas can only move so fast unless you have some type of secondary recovery in place such as a water flood to increase that migration.
I do not understand the death wish that Western democracies seem to be acting out.
Looking into the future maybe they’ll finally realize that the process of making oil is right in front of their eyes, it’s called the ocean and it’s churning it out daily. the real discovery will be when we’re able to duplicate that process at a level to become feasable.

Sanity can be a tough row to hoe but I prefer to keep plugging away at it. lol
