That's a good point. And the more the price of oil and gas come down, the harder it is to justify the tax subsidies and fiscal losses in 'renewable alternatives' which are less reliable.
It looks like the big discovery here is in the Upper Jurassic Kimmeridge section, with lithologies which sound similar to that encountered in the Three Forks and Middle Bakken. Whether the much thicker Kimmeridge section will lend itself as well to production techniques and drilling strategies used in the Williston Basin and how well OIP will translate to BOPD has yet to be determined.
Thanks for posting that link Joe, it was interesting to read the comparisons to other plays.
I don’t remember the term “hybrid play”. What does that refer to?
