By now, you've probably heard about the movie "Promised Land" and its false portrayal of our domestic E&P industry. It's not just industry that has panned the movie, though. From a review on NBCi.com: "Written by and starring Matt Damon and John Krasinski, the film comes at an opportune time for a big-screen exploration of the issues surrounding the shale gas revolution, with cheap natural gas transforming the nation's energy landscape and 'fracking' now a household word. *** But viewers shouldn't necessarily expect a realistic treatment of drilling and fracking. It's not that kind of film. *** But 'Promised Land' spends little time explaining how energy companies actually go about pulling natural gas out of the ground, and what little explanation the movie does provide is simply not very accurate." (Emphasis is ours.)
Not a surprise really.
