Your Texas post deals with shale, and the underlying method of extraction known as "fracking", pumping in water under high pressure over miles of horizontal well bore..... The Bakken in No. Dakota is best known for this extraction method..... and note the oil revival going on up there.
Our wells are too shallow, if they even possess shale bearing formations, which I doubt, and our leases too small.
But were we to drill deeper and locate petroleum shale deposits, with low permeability, and we could enlarge our leaseholds or oil sharing agreements with other lessees then it would be possible to frack. Currently it's not an issue or a possibility a far as I know. Oiljob.
