North Dakota Oil

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

(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," reportsThe 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.
