Shale Technology has written new rules :
With the "shale" reservoirs :
● lower quality resources can also produce economically.
● there is increase in the volume of new potential resources.
As US shale reservoirs can be developed at relatively low cost,
● the major oil companies no more control the business
● as soon as price recovers, many companies will get back in the game.
