Aside from you running your mouth as usual on things you don't know, you do realize there is more than the Permian? Almost every oilfield in every basin runs to the coasts? Even Canadian oil goes to the gulf, on the way it picks up Williston Basin oil, Oil from Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, it goes to Oklahoma more often than not then South to the Gulf.

Horizontal wells in the Williston Basin have not shown your nearly 70% decline, nor your produced water claim either. Most water used in fracking is recovered and technology allows them to use significantly less water anymore. Gone are the days of multiple millions of gallons of water, frac tanks lining every available inch of well pad space. Today it is a chain of 12" or 14" pumps loping along and in under a month they've fracked all the wells on a single pad and have packed up and gone, leaving the well to free flow for the next few months.


Uh huh..

So how much spare.. or Extra pipeline capacity do we have "running to the Coasts?"

So the Bakken Shales don't decline "nearly 70%".. good to know..

No doubt Technology helps.. as it does in anything.. but physics still rule.

No offense.. but.. who's the poster stretching the truth here?  At least share FACTS when you opine.
