ncil67, I checked on the companies that Ben Anderson has been associated with. As yet, I've found no one that knows him personally. Based on my checking, his background is very pertinent to what Frontier is in to.

I was born into the drilling business. My Dad was a driller and drilling supervisor. While in college I worked on a well workover crew in Oklahoma, as a roughneck in Lousiana, and on a directional drilling crew in Texas. My career was in petro/chemical construction. I'm a retired Construction Manager. I have many contacts in the oil patch.

When I saw that most of Mr Anderson's experience was with Canadian companies, I called a friend in Calgary and asked him about the companies that Mr Anderson had been associated with. They are just the kind of operations that Frontier is working to get into. If Mr Anderson had been a pertoleum engineer for one of the majors, he could have been specialized and not have the kind of broad experience needed to do the variety of work that Frontier will be doing.

Of the companies Mr Anderson was with, I'm only familiar with one of them, High Plains Energy. I know of two companies with that name. The larger one is in Calgary, the other is in Oklahoma. Mr Anderson majored in petroleum engineering at the University of Oklahoma, so he may have been with the Oklahooa based one.

Another good sign that Frontier is on the right track is their association with Weekly Production. They are a Texas based company with connections with Permian Basin Services and Weatherford.

I want to hear more specifics from Frontier before I jump on board, but it appears they are building the right kind of base. I'll keep watching them
