Comments are welcome. I will not respond to accusations of Alex Jones-like conspiracy ranting because it does seem like that a tad. But let's get it out there for the FR record as one more anecdote. In time we will see if all reported incidents add up to a substantially firm inference.

The firm takeaway from the above is a federal shutdown of a large oil strike and a federal military like convoy on an interstate a day later out of the region of the oil strike that was reported to have been shutdown and taken over.

One reported fact regarding the federal convoy on I-94 is of helicopters circling overhead around the convoy. I know it sounds like black helicopters that is mockingly used by those that laugh at conspiracy nuts. But my partner reported that not only where there multiple multiple gunships on the ground but also helicopters circling overhead. My partner does not drink and drive and he doesn’t do drugs for what it’s worth.

If they drilled 22,000 true vertical depth, they drilled completely through the Bakken/Three Forks formation. And a well actually completed in a formation 22,000' below the surface of the earth is almost certainly going to produce mostly gas and perhaps a bit of condensate, not crude oil. There would be very little oil coming out of that hole, if any.

Color me skeptical.

I will refer to our resident expert, but the Bakken shale formation does not produce oil that just “gushes out of control.” You have to go get it.

I will follow up when I get home.

Access to VERY interested and involved parties there.

This will NOT be quiet for long.

This sounds a lot like how Pastor Lindsey Williams described a similar event in Alaska, of hitting a "mother lode" of crude and TPTB moving in to shut it down and threatening everyone to keep quiet about it.

That was before the internet and keeping this quiet, if there is anything to it, will be infinitely more difficult.

If this is true - I'm not saying it isn't - keep in mind that the federal government doesn't do much of anything by itself, especially not anything productive, like running an oil well, or an oil field.

If they are going to exploit something like you describe, they will do it entirely using contractors.

The chances of this being accomplished in secrecy are approximately zero, at least for more than a week or two.

If they are just going to lock it up, fine. But are they going to lock everything up everywhere? Strikes me as unlikely.

They need the tax revenues too much.

If there is an ocean of oil there, more than one rig can access it. In order to restrict it they would have to create broad restrictions that’s would be noticable.

If the wells/discovery were made on private property, the Feds have no jurisdiction. The oil beneath the privately owned land is owned by the private owners of the mineral rights and their ‘Lessee’s”, the Oil companies, drilling the well under lease agreements signed between the mineral rights owners and the oil companies. This is well established in property and oil & gas law.

If the wells/discovery was on Federal lands, typically administered by the Bureau of Land Managment or the Bureau of Indian Affairs, then anything is possible. Those wells would have likewise been drilled by authority granted under lease agreements signed between the BLM and the Oil Companies, but it is conceivable that the Gov’t could simply unilaterally abrogate those agreements and leave the aggreived parties, the oil companies to seek redress in the Gov’t’s Courts.

Of course, in the perfect “Statist’s” world, the “citizen” owns nothing and all resources and land are owned by the State as was the case in the USSR. In Canada, all minerals and, I think water, are owned by the Crown.

There’s little doubt in my mind that the Obamanistas have discussed amongst themselves the possibility of nationalizing the Oil Companies, much as Mexico did in the 1920’s. I’m not quite sure what’s stopped them; they may be waiting for a national emergency to do so.

I would not be surprised if the feds tried to take over the wells. But I don’t think it may be the case. There was no endangered 3 striped frog that shut it down as is the MO with the federal government.

On another note they dug 22,000 feet deep? Were dinosaurs living down there??? This should concernt the peak oil people that oil is as natural part of geology as granite.

May be OT, (maybe NOT), but recent “reports” of a % of population of Alaskans wanting to be a part of Russia struck me as...possible propoganda.

Let me tell ya’ll a story
‘Bout a man named Barack
A true Communist
In a two-bit lawyer’s frock
One day as his wife
Stuffed her pie hole full of food
Some North Dakota drillers
Hit a gusher of crude

Oil, that is
Black Gold
Tax it for me

Barack told the drillers
“Hey, get away from there!
That black liquid goo
Puts too much carbon in the air!
Windmills and gerbil power
That’s the way it out to be
So I hereby seize this land
By Imperial Decree!”

AlGore Fools...
Movie Stars...

It's best to get your news from big cities, and big networks...Like LA Times, Fox and CNN....You betcha...

They have no agenda, and you know they never manipulate events..
