I was working with Union Oil in 1980 and they had a shale play in Colorado that they could not get to pay out . But we kept producing as a whole with good operation techniques that's the key . A lot of small producers turn to co gen plants
Producing their own power as a way of lowering cost .
In leases with heavy oil ,some turn to a fire flood system
What I'm trying to say is limitations promote creativity
Those that are top heavy or unable to adapt will fail
This has been my point for a long time now
Bull I'm glad your out there
