[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2720795, member: 3099"] That's just too easy Okie. :nolike: If one were to examine the depth interval being drilled, I'd bet that there's not 3000' difference in the depths being actively explored in a swath from the Bakken in ND all the way down to and encompassing the Eagle Ford in south TX. It's real easy to say that the geology is different, but they are all shale formations regardless of what they are named. It would be an interesting study to measure the high/low depth and defining the interval measuring from sea level instead of ground level, and if it's been done by USGS I bet they don't want it known so the correlation isn't found out. You can regulate all you want. But you can't make the drilling companies operate under those regs. They'll just pack up and go elsewhere and leave Oklahoma a ghost land in economic ruin. But I have to ask why a great big, rich lib like Boren who's in the twilight of his extremely successful life would jump into bed with someone like Hamm? He's already acquired the ginormous grants to OU from Hamm so why doesn't he just STFU and say and do nothing? Literally neither for or against Hamm? Hmm? Could it possibly be that he is a closet uber conservative and cozy with evil oil execs and his liberalness is just a front? Or could it possibly be that he has information from Hamm and others like McClendon, Riches, Nichols, etc. who are basically almost constantly involved at OU in a big way, that would indicate the possibility of Oklahoma being a major player in the world Oil & Gas markets that totally trump his libness? Anyone ever ask questions like this or is it just me? I can't believe that Boren would pimp himself out like that, so I'm leaning towards something along the lines of the latter... [/QUOTE]
