I attended the OOGA meeting this week. There was a general atmosphere of enthusiasm by all participants. The traditional membership are the shallow, vertical drillers. They believe they are being squeezed out because all the sub-contractor resources have been absorbed by the out of state HZ guys. Not to mention inflating prices for services. Over the last few years, OOGA membership has doubled. They are challenged to serve both their "old school" drillers and the new guys. Very few vertical wells currently being drilled.

Thanks Bluflame. I guess KE and Artex are about the only two good sized vertical guys left. Did Larry W have anything interesting to say? I miss his insights. This is the second year in a row I have missed the conference.

Thomas, Jerry and Mark aren't dummies. I agree their business model stinks right now in this shale drilling environment. They know what they are doing. Remember this is the old CGAS team. Mariani and Jordan team. Follow them.
