Oil - We'll Never Run Out
US Has More Than All The World
Known Reserves Combined

Here's an interesting 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." Please read below.

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... 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.' 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 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 Mountains lies 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 help America 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?

Now I just wonder what would happen in this country if every one of you sent this to every one in your address book.

By the way...this is all true. Check it out at the link below!!!

Ha ha ha.

Blaming it on the environmentalists. That's a good one. What silliness.

If the field really does have that oil, it is not being tapped because the oil companies want to keep control of this country and they can't do that with $16 oil.

Oil at $16 would crash the US dollar as demand for it would tumble.

Petrodollars keep the US solvent. That is why war in the middle east is coming. Oil will skyrocket in price creating higher demand for the US dollar which is on its last legs.

PEAK OIL! PEAK OIL! PEAK OIL!

::)

Peak Oil: a fraud just like "global warming."

An alternative theory is that US petroleum interests actually have a good plan: suck the A-rabs dry, then open up the American spigots. Without oil, the Middle East returns to desert.

there's a lot of laws out there. I'm sure if someone went looking, they would find an "if you don't use it you lose it" rule relating to resource finds. So who's going to get to it and find that rule.

Yawn. Did you notice that word "shale" in there? Shale oil is awfully hard to separate from the ground.

I think we can tap his hot air to run huge turbines 24/7.

exactly. oil shale does not equal oil. the cost in terms of energy and water to extract a liquid fuel from the oil shale make it impractical, which is sort of an understatement.

oil shale makes oil sands look like cheap oil. and oil sands are anything but cheap. in order for oil sands to be profitable, it's necessary to destroy thousands of square miles of wilderness - and it consumes loads of water and, as currently performed, natural gas.

as far as America's un-tapped oil reserves, such as ANWR, my guess is, they are being withheld from public consumption because, as is, it is money in the ground. and a source of fuel for the US military.

There's lots of oil all over the place, and it regenerates over time. The question is how easy is it to get at, and how fast is it being used up.

All the easy access oil is the first to get used up, then they you have to go deeper and more extreme to get at it. At some point the return is not exactly worth it, hence the ratio reaches a peak.

Reminds me of a certain company having to drill so far down the outcome was a disaster, and ended up costing them a sh-tload of cash for their endeavor...BP, Gulf of Mexico something or other...

Is that one shale also? ^^^
