THE ISSUE
America's vast storehouses of tight oil and natural
gas reserves have changed world energy markets,
breaking OPEC's domination while creating a
renaissance in domestic petrochemical and other
manufacturing industries. December's Natural
Gas White Papers provide sage advice on supply
and demand dynamics, and the road ahead for
independent producers. The cover story reports are
followed by the Well Stimulation & Completion
Technology features, including a look at how
stacked laterals are improving completion
economics in the Permian Basin, and how downspacing is producing
dramatic recovery results in the Eagle Ford. The annual Insurance Update
presents a Q&A with industry experts discussing risk management, and
looks at how training can mitigate safety concerns in the field. Association
news includes coverage of COGA, PIOGA, IOGA NY and OIPA conventions.
