Steaming has it's function...I wish I had a buck for every steam program I've written...but it does not address the permeability problems relative to the shale...nor does it address the difference in the product found in the shale and that which is usually found in the heavy tar sands where conventional steam programs are used.
Don't get me wrong jebe...I remain hopeful that some day we can come up with a viable method of producing the potential energy contained in the shale...we simply are not there yet and to be quite honest, if we spent as much time and money we could probably come up with better alternatives.
