My father set this to me.




Oil Anyone?




As you may know, Cruz Construction
started a division in North Dakota just 6 months ago.

They send 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 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?

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.



By the way, this can be verified.

Woodsmen day is great and always on Monday. I love to watch the modified chain saws with motocross engines. They used to film the competition for ESPN and the sponser was always STIHL. There were always big lumber jack's from all over the north east, but this skinny guy from quebec used to win everything. I haven't been in about 5 years, but hope to get back in the next couple of years. We should sign Pete up!
