Recent technological developments have caused natural gas extraction from shale rock, or “fracking,” to become so lucrative that investors are scrambling to learn all they can about investing in fracking companies. The smartest of the group are turning to the experts at Absolute Wealth for the best collection of information on the profitable opportunities available to them. With it, they’re poised to have a hand in the companies that are positioned to explode in value.

“Sideways Oil: How “Fracking” is Re-Establishing the U.S. as an Oil Power and How You Can Profit” is the newest Special Report from Absolute Wealth and its membership program the Independent Wealth Alliance. It doesn’t just list a few companies worth buying shares from; it gives detailed, valued explanations of each company’s situation, and includes the full supply chains and support industries that are connected to fracking.

The cross-section approach to investment tips shows off the Special Report’s wide-ranging expertise, and helps any investor find the opportunities that appeal to them the most. It’s not always easy finding out how to make money in oil. but with the Special Report’s help, anyone can do it.

Much like “Sideways Oil,” this December 2011 article from the Wall Street Journal’s MarketWatch website informs about the supplementary businesses that stand poised to gain big from the natural gas movement. Both prove that smart investing involves research and analysis on not just the first and most obvious choices, but the midstream services that aid in the process.

As the MarketWatch article says, “The latest technology for producing natural gas from shale rock is not only altering the American energy landscape — it’s also opening a host of entry points for investors eager to profit from this booming new industry.”

It mentions natural gas processing, storing, and transporting companies are all promising investments. It’s not only the direct drilling services that stand to make the most. Finding the investment sleepers can be just as profitable as hooking on to the giant industry leaders.

So naturally, “Rather than simply snapping up shares of the biggest producers or drilling companies, many favor investments that are not directly tied to the price of the underlying commodity, especially as growing supply pushes natural gas prices to near-historic lows,” the article said.

That kind of insider information is expanded upon by the Special Report, allowing investors to make the most educated choices. The list of companies set up to gain the most from fracking is long and continues to grow.

There are vast amounts of natural gas deposits across the United States, and in places like Texas, Louisiana and Wyoming, local economies have been revived and thousands of jobs have been created. Pennsylvania saw 44,000 new jobs and $389 million in tax revenue come from fracking in 2009.

Fracking is an important energy technology because of the increased productivity and prolonged commercial life of a gas reservoir it creates. Horizontal drilling is where the name “Sideways Oil” comes from, and it has allowed drilling processes to expand the underground area accessible through wells. Instead of going straight down and stopping, drilling companies have revolutionized the process by going sideways.

The past track record of fracking has proven itself, but only now is the modern advancement of technology and geology influencing the extraction process. Despite negative press on the environmental impact of fracking, the Special Report cites experts who say it’s time to stop demonizing the process. Fracking and horizontal drilling don’t damage the environment any more than conventional oil wells. Investors shouldn’t worry about the environmental effects of fracking interfering with their opportunities, because “Sideways Oil” refutes them.
