Wow! What a difference a year can make. Last year at this time, MDN told you about Canadian independent driller Epsilon Energy’s decision to scale back drilling in the Marcellus in favor of drilling more in the oil-rich Bakken Shale play in Canada (see Epsilon Energy 2Q12 Update: Scaling Back in the Marcellus).
