Oil Rules

In case you haven’t seen it, the most popular YouTube video for weeks has been a video of a normal-looking American guy named Matt doing a goofy, knee-pumping dance with people in 69 locations across the world. The video is so big that The New York Times wrote a review on it.

Sadly, shale will probably never gain the worldwide recognition that Matt has gained through his video. However, Trans-Orient has put together a few videos on shale that are great educators. In the first video, Trans-Orient COO Drew Cadenhead shows and explains why fractured oil-shale exploration is driving unconventional opportunities. I love how he describes shale and sandstones:

“Shales are the actual source rocks — they’re the kitchen; they’re what the stuff is being cooked in. Sandstones are the pantry — that’s where you store the stuff that’s cooked already.” -Drew Cadenhead

Trans-Orient Petroleum Ltd. (TOPLF) is a Canadian-based corporation acquiring and exploring for oil and gas in the Australasian region.

Currently, the Company holds a 100% interest in two lightly explored exploration permit areas totaling 2.2 million acres of the East Coast Basin of New Zealand; the acreage includes an unconventional opportunity targeting the fractured oil and gas shale.
