Let’s have the Gringos come in with their technology find the oil, get it flowing then we will nationalize everything for the benefit of the people of course.

Could be a economic magnet to pull illegals back to Mexico. Also, could create additional jobs for U.S. Citizens as well.

Maybe some Gringos will illegally settle in Mexico.

Personally, I don't want any more of Mexico.

“This is a reflection of politics, not geology. The Eagle Ford shale formation is believed to continue hundreds of miles into Mexico, where it is known as the Burgos Basin. But while more than 5,400 wells have been sunk on the Texas side since 2008, Mexico has attempted fewer than 25. “
Sorta, kinda like Pennsylvania and NY.

Anyone who invests money in Mexico or any other central/south American $#!thole is a fool.

BTW....with horizontal drilling, why can’t we just stay north of the Rio Grande and drink their milkshake?

Aside from the "stealing from another country issue", horizontal reach on directional drilling is going to only go 8 miles, normal is 1 to 2.
We are talking about a lot more coverage than a few miles.

Like Mexico respects the border...

It’s a great resource find, but unfortunately it will be plundered. Mexico is way ahead of us when it comes to governmental looting, but we’re doing our best to catch up.

I noticed on your map that there was gas from the Utica formation up into Quebec. I wasn’t aware of that. I did a little reading and it sounds like they are having good success there so far. Since we are just south of Quebec it could be a real boon for us in VT.

Really? There are over 14,000 permitted nonconventional wells in PA.

Ok. Got what you were saying now. I think they do have about 25 wells, so it is a good comparision.

Yeah, pilots I believe but certainly no excuse not to pursue this in NY.
They could have a manufacturing/business renaissance in upstate areas.
That would mean people would be less dependent on government though.

“Maybe some Gringos will illegally settle in Mexico.”
LOL! Maybe so! However, I’m thinking that the only Gringos that would settle in Mexico would be those working. And, those who may choose to retire there. Actually, there is already quite a few American seniors down there - but, they’re paying their own way, not riding Mexican entitlements.
