Thanks. I figured Id start with the Lackawanna basin then move to the Wyoming and beyond. Profiling different companies. And the independents. Ill also add stuff to ones I did. As I found out that you always find additional stuff. Its easy to be researching one thing, then find something about a tottaly different subject.
