Tangipahoa Parish in Louisiana is emerging as a key player in the energy sector as due to its robust transportation infrastructure. It is also site to some of the early plays in the Tuscaloosa Marine Trend in the Louisiana portion of the oil shale play. That combination has put into play forces that will have the potential to severely stress the environment and culture of this primarily rural parish. The Tuscaloosa Marine Trend is being touted as 'the next Bakken.' Tangipahoa Parish will bear the brunt of all that the phrase contains should fracking take off in the TMS in general and the Florida Parishes in particular.
