do you agree with this assessment?

Thackney knows a lot more than I, and Smokin' Joe here in the Bakken too.

But living in the area you hear the same thing from the oil men, some of the good ones, that the amount of oil still likely recoverable is staggering.

A fellow who works for one of the big companies told me that much of it might not be available through present technologies; but given the quantities that appear to be there, he said, they will find a way to get it.

Modern technology and Fracking have made an energy boom. More discoveries and procedures will follow. Follow the money, oil. Oil prices have fallen form almost $150 per barrel in 2008 to less than $100 lately. I expect a good boom this summer also.
