That's all I got.
Now I need to go to both Dakotas
NoDak better watch itself with all this success. Freedom is going to happen to them.
Gusher! North Dakota Has Four Times More Oil Than EstimatedFARGO - Continental Resources estimates that the Bakken Formation has reserves of 30 billion to 40 billion barrels of recoverable oil, or roughly four to five times more than the government’s latest estimate.
The estimate of the Bakken’s potential was disclosed during the North Dakota Petroleum Council’s Bakken 2.0 conference by Jack Stark, president of Continental Resources, a top oil producer in the state.
“It’s a big number but I think it’s a technically sound and a technically well-founded number,” Stark said. “There’s a lot of future left in the Bakken.”
The world already knew North Dakota has enough oil left in the ground to traumatize climate activists for decades. But come on. The latest estimate of oil reserves under our westerly neighbor truly defies the imagination. Not to mention the U.S. government’s official calculations. The fracking company that’s led the way in developing the state’s reserves even rocked attendees with the news at an industry meeting covered by the Fargo Forum.
Not a single man in sight. I’d kill that thing with an improvised club. Sad state of affairs.
