How much Oil is in the U.S.

I figure I alone would have saved tens of thousands of dollars in my lifetime if it were not for the collusion to make the Arabs even richer! This really makes me sick, as it should you... (make sure you read to the end)










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.

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

USGS Release: 3 to 4.3 Billion Barrels of Technically Recoverable Oil Assessed in North Dakota and Montana’s Bakken Formation—25 Times More Than 1995 Estimate— (4/10/2008 2:25:36 PM)

Unbelievable... At times, this country just does not have its head on straight...

They got more oil and oil money than they could ever wish for.
If their oil runs low, they got money like you could never imagine.

The own more stuff here than you could imagine.

Unbelievable, the enviromentalist in there effert to "save the world" are going to end up destroying it!!!

That is so true isn't it BG????

They own more motels, gas stations, high rise building here and a lot of other business than you could ever count.
When you was born in one of those countries, from the time yer born, you git money off oil royalities. The older you git the more money you git.
Gittin a job is optional money you make.
They pay no taxes on money they git or money they earned.:rant:

Our governement probably continues to buy foreign oil mainly to keep other countries happy. Notice that the places we buy oil from are fairly "mean" folks and our government probably figures that if we don't buy their oil, there'll be more terririst attackes on us - as in the Godfather, they'll "make us an offer we can't refuse". Son;t get me wrong, I don't agree with paying the high crude prices when we got all kinds of crude right here. There's also the foreign lobbyist that make all kinds of deals with our governement regarding their oil. It's gets really crazy and complicated. The powers that be say that they want to decrease or stop our dependence on foreign crude but that is "lip service" only. The one's that make that statment are probably on some of the foreign payrolls. Just my 2 cents.

Nope

Years ago. it was said we want to use everybody else oil up 1st then ours last so we would be the last folks to have Oil.
But between the EPA and the Sierra Club. They are going to have it to where we can't use oil related products.
But medical stuff is made from Oil too.
The folks that are trying to save us like the EPA and sierra club is gonna destroy us too.

Can't completely agree. Yes petroleum is used in the production of medical supplies and we all benefit from that. Petroleum is also used in the production of tires that's on our bikes and cars as well as lots of other things. But I still believe that there's a lot of money passed under the table to folks here and they vote to buy foreign oil. That's just big government.

I'm sure its bigger than any of us would ever know.

There is a lot of money for a lot of folks in the oil industry.
And I'm sure some politicians that has their hands in it.

Obama didn't want to let us drill in the gulf, but the chineese went outside our boundries and drilled the same hole that the explosion happened.
They are suckin the oil up instead of us.
