Inceptus,

Thanks for the link to the Shale conference in Norway. An easier way to view is just go to QEC homepage and the conference is the second item on the "Quick Links" list on the left side of the page.

I found Talisman's Dr. Faraj speech the most interesting in particular his quote regarding the Utica "Remarkable shale, huge potential". He continues by commenting that the published estimates of the Utica are just the beginning and states that the true potential is unknown until hundreds of wells are drilled. Sounds very confident.

Thanks,

Mikee
