Bakken oil production has already declined in 2015.  There is compelling evidence that this decline is going to accelerate significantly in the next couple of months. If that happens the recovery we have seen in oil prices in recent weeks is also going accelerate. Being as the market likes the fact...
As I explained in Part 1: Atlantic Canada Oil Shale Projects, we're seeing a shale revolution all over the world right now… from the juniors to the seniors. And we're seeing this increasingly in all-but-forgotten plays. Take the Green Point play, for example. The management team at Shoal Point...
Where should you drill for oil? How about right beside a deposit that has produced 850 million barrels so far? And what if you had one of the most successful teams in the history of junior energy drilling it—a team that has built and sold juniors before and already made hundreds...
Investors will find the most leverage in the energy market this autumn in…energy metals.  Lithium, cobalt, vanadium were all niche metals for decades until cell phones and laptops hit critical mass, but now the demand is going vertical with large scale energy storage and Electric Vehicles (EVs).  Mainstream metals...

Condensate is essentially a very light oil which is condensed from rich natural gas and solution gas from oil. And...
Last week I looked at the phenomenal success of a new breed of offshore explorers who are using unconventional drilling (read: horizontal drilling and fracking) to unlock billions of barrels of bypassed oil in places like the shallow-water U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Offshore producers are now getting returns as good...
