Shale and hearty

Oh Appalachia, you gas rich land!
With much shale, well, though no oil sand,
Where acreage changes many a hand,
Tracked by Analysts : Senior and,
Junior, such as Ashwin Ravikumar and his colleagues in Bombay.

God bless you Gulf of Mexico!
Gave life to Apache, El Paso and Anadarko,
But with the dropping rig count,
Your troubles do mount,
Seems like the days of conventional drilling are numbered.
-THE END-

Commentary for the moronic uninitiated:
Conventional drilling in US was centered around Gulf of Mexico but those reserves are fast shrinking, so now they are drilling into solid rocks ("Shale"). I have made liberal use of poetic license: for example, days of conventional drilling are far from numbered.
