               Drop in Prices Delays Midwest Shale Oil Production

   by Kane Farabaugh

   With the legislative and regulatory framework in place to move forward
   with hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," of shale formations in three
   U.S. Midwestern states, oil companies are now in a race against the
   clock. They need oil prices to rebound in time to make their already
   considerable investments in shale exploration in the region pay off.
   VOA's Kane Farabaugh reports.
