Cline Shale: Too Early to Say if it's the Oil Industry's 'Next Big Thing'

SUGAR LAND--October 7, 2013--Written by John Egan for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Query "Cline Shale" on Google and it won't be long before you find a startling number: 30 billion barrels of potential crude oil. Unfortunately, it's not a real number. It was a hypothetical, best-case scenario floated by an oil company two years ago. That number has been endlessly repeated on the Internet and social media over the last two years, but a more realistic analysis still shows promise.
