” Yeah heard about the Wolfcamp discovery a little over a week ago and
just today it occurred to me that I haven’t heard anything about it since.
So yeah, our wonderful left-wing liberal Democrat press doesn’t want
us to know about it. They dutifully reported it once and then crickets.”
Not a new discovery, we’ve been drilling into the Wolfcamp for over 50 years here in the basin. USGS is so far behind it’s amusing.
Frankly, I'm not sure the public was ever given a clear reason. Exxon just locked the gates and walked away, taking losses that had to run in the billions.
An old Exxon hand said the company gave the “extraction” process several names as it matured. I think they were close to something...maybe using the process insitu, without all the breaking.
Exactly correct.
And even the US most environmentally strict state agency in Minnesota supports allowing microbes to eat small oil spills.
