Not unconventional I'm sure...Can't really compare that to a 1,000 bbl/day unconventional well..they're too entirely different ballgames. It might require drilling 20x more wells but the oil companies are still profiting from unconventional. Except in the tuscaloosa, of course

100% correct. I've stated this in posts on here before. Unconventional plays are more like developing a subdivision. You have to lay out a ton of pads and wells to make it profitable. It's also a big reason places like CA and CO want to shut down drilling. I am 100% for shutting down drilling in parts of CO and if you ever pull up a Google Map you'll see why. The state is one of the most beautiful places on the planet and it's awful what the unconventional programs are doing to it.

Parachute, CO in its natural state.

You can probably imagine the heavy truck traffic that is now running these roadways not even remotely designed for this type traffic. I own a rcck crawling Jeep with a 6 inch lift, heavy custom modifications and 35 inch tires and it takes an absolute beating. Basically if you own anything other than a Ford, Toyota, or to a lesser extent Dodge and Nissan, you're going to likely be in the market for a new vehicle once the frack and water trucks maul your roads. Hopefully your local legislation is taking preemptive measures to address these potential problems.
