I would venture that the "lacking technology" was drilling equipment. My experience on the vendor side is that it wasn't so much the technology not being capable, it's that because there was no track record of this high pressure drilling the requirements were very much over and above what had been done in the past. Therefore, there required more and more redundancy which caused the weight of everything to grow. Which then introduced it's own problems. In my opinion, some of these scenarios were overblown. But the simple fact is why would you invest billions in a high risk area when there are plenty of investment opportunities in areas with much less risk.Quote:
I wonder which category of technology is lagging. It's not across the board.
