 Stuff  To Think About

Since 2012 there have been 55,000 HZ shale oil wells drilled in the Permian Basin that have produced a little north of 16 Gbo.

Abundance nuts believe another 120,000 HZ wells can be drilled in the Basin that will produce another 32 Gbo, 2 times what has already been produced. 

For the record...80-85% of that new Permian oil will be

exported to foreign countries.

“There are good geological spots in shale plays and weaker geological spots, and a lot of the good geological spots have already been drilled,” he said during the panel.​ “My theory is that you’ve got basically resource exhaustion that is beginning to take place. It’s no secret that you’ve only got three shale oil plays in the U.S. of any consequence,” Papa said.

“The rest of them don’t amount to a hill of beans.”
