NORTH DAKOTA IS DOING OK..

OIL

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 intoCanada .

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 Mountainslies 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 helpAmerica

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.
