Williston, ND -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/25/2012 -- Most people who hear about the new oil rush in North Dakota are only exposed to a quick sound bite or anecdote about how energy security is within our reach. The full story, however, has eluded many who want to know exactly what The Bakken is all about. A new website and eBook outlines the Bakken Oil Field Discovery and describes it in a way that anyone can understand.

The book, which is written by Matt King of ShaleOilResource.com, not only covers the aspects of the new technologies that made recovering this new oil possible, but it describes the entire processes of horizontal drilling, hydraulic fracturing (fracking), oil gathering, and oil processing in great detail. When asked about his reason for writing the book, Matt King said "When I needed to learn this information for my job, I could not find one consistent easy-to-read resource which contained the material I needed to understand. Once I had gathered the information I needed to learn and understand, I realized that I had the makings for a resource that was not yet available and I knew this compiled information would be extremely helpful to anyone wanting to learn more about the Bakken."

He also mentioned that in addition to educating people about the Bakken and other shale plays, his book provides sufficient knowledge for a potential job seeker to sound more competent in a job interview for one of the many lucrative Bakken Oil Jobs in the industry.

The release of this new book, and regular updates on the ShaleOilResource.com website, will no doubt help to educate the thousands of people curious about the Bakken Shale and other new oil discoveries as well as those individuals who are seeking employment in the oil industry.

The Bakken Shale Play has taken the energy business by storm as oil hits $107 per barrel.

Williston, ND -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/19/2012 -- The Bakken Oil Field in North Dakota has created a media and jobs frenzy in recent months. Most published newspaper stories or 5 minute news spots do little more than communicate the fact that there is newly discovered oil and thousands of jobs available in North Dakota. These types of stories leave most people, who are uneducated about the industry, wondering if the jobs oasis really exists or if it is a hoax.

The logical next step for someone who is interested in learning more about The Bakken oil field is to research it to see what it is all about and if there really are jobs available. This is where the difficultly begins. There is very little comprehensive information online or in print about The Bakken oil field, much less how to go about getting a job in North Dakota.

The solution for many, however, has been a newly released eBook entitled the "Shale Oil Revolution," by Matt King of ShaleOilResource.com. The book clearly outlines the processes which made this new oil economically viable, and arms its readers with baseline knowledge to excel in an interview or to simply gain a better understanding of what is going on. The greatest benefit of this eBook is that although it describes the technical processes of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, it is still easy enough for anyone outside the oil industry to understand.

When asked why he wrote this eBook, Matt King said, "I was tasked to gain an expert knowledge level of new shale oil fields in the country for my position, but there was not a consistent resource I could draw from to be able to explain the industry to my colleagues and boss. I started my oil industry career knowing absolutely nothing about these new oil fields and after several years of research, I became a relied upon speaker on the subject for a Fortune 500 company. This book is the result of my research and speaking with and shadowing current industry leaders in The Bakken oil field in North Dakota."

He also said that his main goal for writing the "Shale Oil Revolution" was to educate the general public about the new shale oil industry and to help potential oil industry applicants with a solid foundation in order to stand out in an interview.

The book covers several topics in detail from the historical oil production methods to the modern methods of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. In addition, the book walks through a typical Bakken Well from leasing the land and minerals to producing and refining the oil and gas. The embedded graphics and clear descriptions throughout do not leave much to the imagination, which is great for those who have not been exposed to the industry before.

The release of this book will no doubt help the hundreds of thousands of people who search daily on the internet for information about The Bakken and other new oil discoveries.
