One of the better bets might be a national oil company from China, as they were busy buying into the North American energy business last year. Perhaps his statements about the Utica are scaring some companies away, but results from Chesapeake Energy and others have been pretty surprising. Estimates show that $6 billion has already been spent on drilling in the region, so clearly there are some deep-pocketed believers. For more on the topic, check out the short clip below.
