On the cover: Talk about hot – shale plays continue to be a spark for the industry, and that has led to new activity in some relatively new exploration areas. The eastern United States? North Louisiana? North Dakota? All that, and more – which is what this issue of the EXPLORER examines with several stories, including one on the surprising Haynesville Shale play that’s represented by our cover shot of the Hudson 10-1 well.
