“By necessity, Americans have gotten really good at squeezing the last drop of oil out of rock,” said Mr. Reed, a Californian who got his start in business in Russia trading distressed debt in the 1990s.
The Russian government has until now viewed the spread of such technologies from the United States largely negatively, because of their implications for the European natural gas market: Large shale gas deposits in Poland and Ukraine threaten exports from Moscow-based Gazprom, one of the world’s largest natural gas companies. Shale oil, in contrast, could be a boon for Russia.
Dakle tehnologija je tu, a za cevima preko Atlantika nema potrebe jer mogu to visestruko jeftinije da eksploatisu u EU i da istu snabdevaju makar jednim delom.
S druge strane Rusija lezi na skriljcima, ali pare za nove tehnologije su "spiskane" u Monte Karlu , Nici i drugim mondenskim gradovima na nekretnine i bahanalije.

There is one important distinction between the industries in the two countries. Small independent oil companies led the unconventional oil boom in the United States, reversing the decline in U.S. oil output that began in the 1970s as fields were tapped out, the stage Russia is entering today.
Companies like Anadarko, Apache or Chesapeake experimented with sites that larger companies considered too costly to produce. Over the years, costs dropped.
In the United States, a swarm of risk-taking, privately owned small enterprises produce about 50 percent of the of oil output, with the majors accounting for the rest.
Russia’s independent sector is so small as to almost go unnoticed. Ruspetro, which pumps an unusual oil deposit in western Siberia known as a channel sand, listed shares on the London Stock Exchange in January and pitched investors on the idea of attracting a North American-style independent company to Siberia.
Cene padaju polako , kod Rusa je sve u rukama putina i njegovih oligarha, "nezavisni" proizvodjaci koji su bili motor razvoja ove tehnlogije u USA
u Rusiji prakticno i ne postoje.

Exxon ga je za sada izduvao u dilu sa Gasprom-om na Arktiku, ali to ne znaci da su Rusi iz toga izasli "neogrebani".
Jedina razlika je sto ce se to u USA reflektovati vise zbog investitora, trzista, deonicara, poreza itd .. dok ce oligarhe da zaboli koja milijarda manje,
a raju i ostale ko grebe ..pamte oni i gore dane.
No, videcemo dalji tok situacije , ne verujem da ce obe strane zbog politike zrtvovati toliko bogatsvo.
