experiencing booms in North Dakota Bakken Oil Deposit, Montana, Ohio
Utica Source Rock and the Marcellus which runs from Ontario to
Tennessee, Colorado, Wyoming and new
technology drilling in East Texas Permian Basin and
the Eagle Ford Shale of South Texas. Offshore Drilling
in the US has increased as well and expect the deep water drilling to
increase as new regulations and equipment restore confidence.
