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 send 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.
By the way,
this can be verified. Check it out at the link
