Above is a link that should take you to an article that discusses some of the things that the Russians are doing about 'tight oil' recovery in their country.

The link takes you to 'Part 2' of the story; but, above the beginning of the actual article there is a link to 'Part 1'. You should take that link and read from the beginning.

We better be doing more than that here in the good old U.S.A. if you ask me.

Why do I concern myself with it ?

It's because I think the empowered Oil and Gas interests are; and, as landowners here in our country we're supposed to be 'partners' in development of oil and gas natural resources within our privately owned lands.
