OIL -
You better be sitting down when you read this!
As you
may know, Cruz Construction started a division in North Dakota just 6 months
ago. They
sent
every Kenworth (9 trucks) we had here in Alaska to North Dakota and several
drivers. They
just
bought two new Kenworth's to add to that fleet; one being a Tri Drive tractor
and a new 65 ton
lowboy
to go with it. They also bought two new cranes (one crawler & one
rubber tired) for that division.
Dave
Cruz said they have moved more rigs in the last 6 months in ND than Cruz
Construction moved
in
Alaska in the last 6 years.
Williston
is like a gold rush town; they moved one of our 40 man camps down there since
there are no
rooms
available.
Unemployment
in ND is the lowest in the nation at 3.4 percent last I checked.
See
anything in the national news about how the oil industry is fueling North
Dakota's economy?
Here's
an astonishing read. Important and verifiable information:
About
6 months ago, the writer was watching a news program on oil and one of the
Forbes Bros. was the guest.
The
host said to Forbes, "I am going to ask you a direct question and I would
like a direct answer; how much oil
does
the U.S. have in the ground?" Forbes did not miss a beat, he said,
"more than all the Middle East put together."
The U.
S.. Geological Service issued a report in April 2008 that
only scientists and oil men knew was coming,
but
man was it big.
It was
a revised report (hadn't been updated since 1995) on how much oil was in this
area of the western 2/3 of
North
Dakota, western South Dakota, and extreme eastern Montana.
Check
THIS out:
The
Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska's Prudhoe Bay, and
has the potential to eliminate
all
American dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration
sm(EIA) estimates it at 503 billion
barrels.
Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable( 5 billion barrels), at
$107 a barrel, we're looking at a resource
base
worth more than $5.3 trillion.
"When
I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their jaws hit
the floor.
They
had no idea.." says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature's financial
analyst.
"This
sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in the past
56 years," reports The Pittsburgh
Post
Gazette.
It's a
formation known as the Williston Basin, but is more commonly referred to as the
'Bakken.' It stretches from
Northern
Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada.
For
years, U. S. oil exploration has been considered a dead end. Even the
'Big Oil' companies gave up searching
for
major oil wells decades ago.
However,
a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken's massive
reserves, and we now have
access
of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those
billions of barrels will cost Americans
just
$16 PER BARREL !!!!!!
That's
enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 2041 years straight.
And if
THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next one should - because it's
from 2006 !!!!!!
U.. S.
Oil Discovery - Largest Reserve in the World
Stansberry
Report Online - 4/20/2006
Hidden
1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped
oil reserve in the world.
It is
more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President
Bush mandated its extraction.
In
three and a half years of high oil prices none has been extracted.
With
this motherload of oil why are we still fighting over off-shore drilling?
They
reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our borders, than
all the other proven reserves on earth.
Here
are the official estimates:
8
times as much oil as Saudi Arabia
18
times as much oil as Iraq
21
times as much oil as Kuwait
22
times as much oil as Iran
500
times as much oil as Yemen
and
it's all right here in the Western United States !!!!!!
HOW
can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the
environmentalists and others have
blocked
all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil! Again, we are
letting a small group of
people
dictate our lives and our economy. WHY?
James
Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we've got more oil in this very
compact area than the entire
Middle
East, more than 2 TRILLION barrels untapped. That's more than all the
proven oil reserves of crude
oil in
the world today , reports The Denver Post.
Don't
think 'OPEC' will drop its price even with this find? Think again! It's
all about the competitive marketplace,
it has
to.
Think
OPEC just might be funding the environmentalists?
Got
your attention yet? Now, while you're thinking about it, do this:
Pass
this along. If you don't take a little time to do this, then you should
stifle yourself the next time
you
complain about gas prices, by doing NOTHING, you forfeit your right to
complain.
Now I
just wonder what would happen in this country if every one of you sent this to
every one in your address book.
By the
way, this can be verified. Check it out at the link below !!!!!!

I used to work for a geophysical company selling geophones, hydrophones and shake trucks to oil companies and exploration companies. This was back in the early 1980's. I was in Utah one week and saw one of my clients from Louisiana at my hotel. Ask him what he was doing there since he basically only explored for oil in swamps and marshes using hydrophones. He had a contract to explore on the Great Salt Lake. It was later determined thru seismograph readings that there is enough oil and gas under the Lake to provide the entire world with oil and gas for the next 20 years if every oil well was shut down in the world. However the guberment will not allow any drilling.
