Ever heard of the Bakken Formation?

GOOGLE it or follow this link. It will blow your mind. http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=1911

The U.S. Geological Service issued a report in April ('08) that only scientists and oilmen knew was coming, but man was it big. It was a revised report (hadn't been updated since '95) 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... 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.' And 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 ha s 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 41 years straight.

2. [And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next one should - because it's from TWO YEARS AGO, people!]

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 is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush
mandated its extraction.

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 a s 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 democrats, environmentalists and left wing republicans have blocked all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil.

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.
----
[Got your attention/ire up yet? Hope so! Now, while you're thinking about it ... and hopefully P.O'd, do this:

3. Take 10 minutes and compose an e-mail; fax or good old-fashioned letter to all your friends and associates. Alert them to the fact that democrats and 'liberal' republicans have been and will continue to obstruct all plans to make America independent of foreign oil. The only solution is to vote all democrats and Marxist oriented republicans out of office.

If you don't take a little time to do this, then you should stifle yourself the next time you want to complain about gas prices .. because by doing NOTHING, you've forfeited your right to complain.

I've actually heard of that before. I've been wondering why I'm not hearing more about it.

Also, I'd heard that sorghum can be turned into fuel that is much better then ethanol and costs much less to produce. (Sorghum is really high in sugar. It's juice can be refined down to a sugar.) Wondering why I'm not hearing more on that one, too.

Probably not hearing about those things because special interests have our sites set on the oil crisis not realizing there are alternatives.
We have ways to get out of the oil crisis but it will take some pretty clever actions to divert our attention from the mideast.
We have grown so complacent that whatever happens we say why; no taking the blame for our excess use of the earths natural resources.
Noone to blame but ourselves!!
We are using water the same way by watering lawns that demand plenty while there are others which do not use as much.
Golf ourses are constatntly watering every day while we can only do it once a day.
Not realtive to this blog but its sort of a domino effect.

Bleed the other countries dry then use whats in our backyard. Its a good practice just as long as we dont go broke before its finished.

"Swindle" is the perfect name with which to sign this little piece of fantasy fiction. Sixteen-dollar-a-barrel oil? Cheaper gas all around, from right here at home, for Americans? Think again. Who's going to drill and process that oil? The oil companies that are bleeding you dry now. What's going to make them keep it at home? Nothing: they'll sell it to the highest bidder on the global market to maximize their own profits, and petroleum-hungry China and India are drooling at the auction block. And all the so-called "patriotic" Republicans and right-wingers will cry "Free market, free market!" while it's done. Think that cynical? Don't be so naive: the big corporations sent American jobs overseas, and they'll do the same with any domestic oil.

I have to wonder when we the people are going to wake up and realize the only difference between Liberals and Conservatives is the spelling. Is it so difficult to figure out that those in charge at DC allow us to think we have a choice in how things are run by giving us to parties to pick from? Yet no matter who is in charge we continue to pay the price.

Government kept that secret a long time, I think
over 50 years. The cat's been out of the bag
quite a while now. Several years ago, they did
a special I think on PBS about that.

are you kidding me?? i have never heard about this before! the shame is even if we get them to drill the oil co. here in the US, won't want us to get it. it will effect their pockets! thanks for the
info. I think it is time for all of us to start writing what ever candidate we want, and start demanding answers!

This is rediculous!! I want this blog to keep going until we can have answers. I really believe drilling here would take money from big business and help the ordinary citizen. I have already emailed this site to all my contacts along with the blog. I have always said if a person invented an alternative to gasoline for .10 cents a gallon, he would either be very rich or very dead. Although this is not the case it kinda makes that statement true.

It could be that by NOT drilling here, we and
other nations will be using everyone elses oil.
In the end, we will have the only oil deposits.
That is a monopoly... in our favor.

Of course, oil companies would not like that.
Maybe it would profit our country, more than
just the oil companies.

China is going to be drilling off our coast soon so why dont we do it or are we afraid of public opinion?
Action is what speaks louder than ords and time for action has past lets get it done the environmentalists can go pound sand if they dont like it>>

That would work if Russia and China wasn't allready drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, but alas they are:

Greed raines

No matter what happens the price of fuel WILL NOT go down.

... I had not seen this report on Montana but even without this “find” we have had known oil deposits greater than all other country's (except Saudi Arabia) in the world for more than 40 years now ...We are currently the third largest producer of oil in the world . Our “dependency on foreign oil” is and always has been fabricated , and it is a scam . So called “environmentalists” are actually paid groups of organized individuals who work hard to benefit 2 benefactors : 1st the government (oil tax is based on % of dollars not volume so HIGHER prices are better) 2nd Oil companies ...but the big “winner” in this is and always has been/ always will be the government HIGH PRICES = high tax profits for the government .
But hey lets remember what one of the candidates said about the oil crisis : “For far to long America has had to much and now MUST learn to live with less, we in this country can no longer set our thermostats at 78 and eat whatever we want the world just won't allow it any more” ...add that to the stated position of the current speaker of the house and our future is clear .

Theres a lot of misconceptions about the reserve.. They are drilling it and have been for around half a century. Recoverable oil is different than economically recoverable, some of the areas are estimated at 0% economically recoverable oil. There are about 450 wells in one area of Montana, something coulée (I forget the full name) .. Permeability, porosity and depth of this area is poor.. Costs for drilling have sky rocketed.

I'm more for draining the area of lignite and potash.. wait for the technology and pump. Actually the lignite has brought us enhanced drilling which helps. Imagine selling CO2 a waste product ..

Concerned person who feels like expressing my opinion while I still can. I have been in Florida since 1973 when things were less hectic crime was not a problem. I enjoy writing to the editor,emailing to higher ups when things seem out of control like the current crime wave. I believe in free speech and it seems people are letting that slip away as they are told what to say at certain seasonal times. I think our media is our biggest threat using their liberal viewpoints and if wrong they are not responsible for errors I cant understand the Supreme's courts power we do not elect this group but we are at their mercy if you can call it that on issues that have an effect how we behave. People in power we dont electt that are backed by special interst groups or maybe some appointments are not acceptable to certain parties and therefore some well qualified individuals never get the appoiintment. The supreme court opens their sessions with a prayer and the ten commandments are on their very building. When will the media think before addressing dangerous things that are picked up by the media and sort of become a fad for copycats like the Campus massacares occurring senselessly. I have raised 5 sons and one daughetr 4 of my sons were in the military submariners. Enjoy this site lots of controversy and also informative!!
