Why would anyone who knows Ken Hood and paid close attentin to everything he wrote say that?

He is a geo genius. We did a Hedberg conference in Vail 2005 and had similar methods on how to figure out shales, although at the time I was more interested in geostats. He asked for a team of mine to review his newest geomethods he was teaching his geologists on shale resources a couple years later, in a Canadian CSPG meeting he already was finishing up this paper and mentioned it, it was sheer brilliance and a decade ahead ahead of the method the EIA created AFTER collecting a bunch of data and doing it the eays way.

Please...he as the head of some of their best geoscience work knows what he is doing.

As for the business types? Who knows.

Quote from: K-DogHow many times has he ignored my demands that he acknowledge that light sweet crude is not the same product as fracked oil.

How many times have I pointed out that light sweet crude comes from wells that are fracked, and those that aren't? Any geoscience lab that does this work can confirm it in minutes.

Remember, personal experience is really valuable here, you said so yourself. You tell me how many oil samples you've tested over the years, fracked wells, other kinds of completed wells, in-situ from coring runs, provided by refineries or pipeline drips, and if I haven't done or supervised 5 orders of magnitude more, I promise not to use my decades of personal experience, lab experience, production experience, drilling experience or industry knowledge against your lack of any ever again.
