One of the nurses up at OHSU was showing us a pic of his Dads land on the cell phone (graphic wise).

Dad hit oil and Nurse is thrilled as his student loans are going to be a gift of paid off due to the Black Gold.

And yes drilled horizontally.

He should move out to the land of “swimmin pools and movie stars.”

Yeah, that song played in my head when reading this too.

We were just up in West Texas and saw a lot of rigs we hadn’t seen before - lots of drilling going on these days.

I wonder what it will take to add the near Gulf to Baaken so we can get ahead of the game.

But what use is this awful oil, Dinghy Harry Reid says it makes us sick!(sarq). What a pathetic,treasonous slime he is! Bet he flew home to Nevada on a private jet consuming Jet A at a huge rate and laughing at the jerks that actually may listen to him.

ROFLOL!!!

My lib son has a degree in geology and could be making six figures but is playing banjo and bull fiddle for a living. Sigh.

[Global2010]

Hah.

Yet the media is selling all doom and gloom no oil will end in Global famine.

BULL PUCKY.

Exciting to think about America being self sufficient once again.

And IMO the Go Greenies eco plan is going to grow tiresome to those they have tried to sell it to.

A glimmer of coming change.

For those unfamiliar with the pop culture reference

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

There is no way the Dakota fields will ever yield what we require daily. The estimate of total oil is very much exaggerated in the article. The recovery rate is less than 3% of about 200 billion in potential biomass.

Also, the area mentioned is in the Newtown area, which is the thickest part of the entire field (Williston Basin) and is not a good example of the overall field’s potential.

But it sure sounds good to the uninformed.

Always told my mother that I was a piano player in a whorehouse cause I didn’t want her to know I was oilfield trash.

Fantastic.
