Sorry if this is a repost but I'd like some feedback on this and i'd rather not put it into that Oil and Gas thread.

So apparently it's very expensive to drill for this oil, but since prices are apparently double the rate needed to make it profitable ($50 a barrel), the wells being 'dug' in ND are making economical sense.
I'd like to think this is a good direction to go. Is it safe to assume that if oil remains above $50 a barrel that eventually this field would become the highest output field in the US?
