Junior Achievement & Shale Gas Presentation

You will find some links HERE, you have to research to segregate, what is copy righted & what needs giving credit & what requires permission.

TY, and wish our team success. It will be interesting to meet with these young folks.

Sure, I wish your team resounding success.

Present both sides of the issue and let the kids decide what's best for their future, not how much money they could get from royalties.
Good luck.

www.theoildrum.com is a good source for all things energy. Search on 'Marcellus'.

Where have I said anything about Fracking? And I probably know more about both the Pros and Cons of it and Injection Wells than all of CR4 put together. Now, if I called it Hydro Shearing, as the greenies do, people would be salivating with approval.

Then why did you solicit our help. We know nothing, compared to you, so you are just being solicitous and condescending at the same time.

Pardon my ignorance, but it seems to me that fracking is the hot, controversial topic of the day and is how everybody is, and will be, doing it. Who needs fresh drinking water? Let 'em drink bottled water? Right.

You want to talk about shale gas? Go ahead. The JA's will boo you out of the room if you ignore the most controversial aspect of extracting shale gas.

So much for objectivity.

Good luck.

If I was you I would not go down that path. You never know who is in the forum. I think your comment is somewhat over the top.

I would ask you the same question as Lyn did: Why ask when your approach is you know more about it than anyone here?

I could not really figure what it was you were asking in the first place. Maybe try again with a little bit more effort on explaining the question!

Let us all take a sabbatical.

Does this have anything to do with the development of the Utica shale deposits that are shallower in western PA and OH then the remainder of NY, central PA, and ONT?

I just read an article about this deposit where it was stated that the only viable way to extract the NG and oil was to hydro frack. Is this true?

Whatever the presentation to the HS kiddies, it should be unbias, and explore both the pros and cons.
