Many see as the 'Contender for the US Oil Drilling Crown'.
According to a recent article on CNBC, the Bakken is an oil hub that some believe could challenge the Gulf Coast's crude output. See
"Bakken, a region stretching through swaths of North Dakota and Montana, has transformed itself into a major site of US crude production. The formation is now seen as the future of oil drilling in the U.S., and is an epicenter of pipeline expansion projects designed to capitalize on production. Estimates say the region's oil output has more than doubled over the last two years."
"According to official data cited by North Dakota's Department of Mineral Resources and the Energy Information Agency, Bakken crude production surged from 274,000 barrels per day in January 2011 to 673,000 in January 2013."
"Yet private estimates put that figure even higher, stating Bakken generates more than 800,000 barrels per day -- with the potential to top one million barrels within the next few years. Analysts expect some 33,000 wells will be drilled there over the next 20 years, with more than 5,000 coming by 2015."
Oil production from both Western Canada and the Bakken is expected to continue to grow at a rapid clip for years to come. Even relatively conservative forecasts suggest that combined production growth from the Bakken and Western Canada may exceed 1 million barrels a day in the next three years. Many other industry forecasts anticipate even faster growth rates including forecasts by CIBC for Canada and one by PIRA for the Bakken).
Summary
Eco-Trade Corp. has excellent prospects moving forward, and is garnering interest from the financial community. Here are some of the key points:
