Subject Oklahoma’s STACK and SCOOP shale play. Significance Successful US shale companies depend on spotting opportunities early and acquiring prime land to drill on before their rivals. Companies that moved early into the Permian Basin in Texas are reaping the benefits today. Companies searching for the next hot spot are increasingly looking to central Oklahoma, where the STACK and SCOOP play has grabbed the industry’s attention. Impacts Oilfield service companies will see new opportunities in the expansion of the shale business into new areas. As output grows in Oklahoma new energy infrastructure such as pipelines and processing facilities will be needed. Increased oil activity will help lift Oklahoma’s sluggish economy, but shale hires tend not to be local.

Subject Chinese interest in the Western Balkans. Significance The chairman of the Standing Committee of China’s National People’s Congress, Zhang Dejiang, paid a three-day visit to Serbia in mid-July. The trip, by China’s third-most-senior official, is the latest milestone in China’s deepening relationship with the Western Balkans. Impacts China’s penetration of the Western Balkans could challenge the EU’s preponderance and ability to steer the region towards liberal reform. Beijing's huge economic clout also reduces Moscow's energy leverage, especially in states where China is building new energy infrastructure. For better or worse, the economic dividend created by Chinese investment is helping to sustain the existing cadre of Balkan leaders.
