Again, it is you who have no clue about what you are talking about. You are basing your opinion (underlined) on conflicting reports that are mostly clueless in their own respect.
The FACTS are, nobody knows the true nature of the reserves in the Williston Basin. It is based on pure speculation from all parties involved.
The formation in question also has barely a 5% recovery rate on the average, so those estimates are not very reliable.
I work closely with the USGS in handling their estimates because we drill mostly on BLM lands. Many of the wells that were drilled there were expected to yield huge volumes based on those estimates, but the actual recovery rate was marginal.
You really have much to learn, but what you lack in knowledge, you certainly make up for in arrogance.
Joe: I thought you said you were seeing 10% recovery rates in the Bakken. Do I remember that correctly?
