<![CDATA[Oil In Western Nd!!!!]]>The government estimated approximately 150,000,000 (150 mill) barrelsls of oil in the Bakken Shale formation in the western part of North Dakota and eastern Montana.

THEY WERE WRONG!!!!!

Just recently the government quoted approx 4,300,000,000 barrels, yeah i said it......4.3 Billion barrels of oil!!!! and 2/3s of that oil is located in North Dakota about 2 miles underground. Many say this easily overpowers the amount found in Anwar.

If 1 Barrel=$110.11 Then 4.3 Billion barrels=$473,473,000,000.00

The reason i posted this is because my family isnt the best off in the area. we dont own i house worth more than 100K. So this is amazing to hear. My father inherited a large sum of land in western North Dakota in the Dickinson area, so i hope we hit it big! They have been puttin holes in our land for the last few years but found nothing worth pulling up. Hopefully it will change for the better

I really dont want to sound like i am bragging but i am overwhelmingly excited to find out the outcome of this!

from what my father described to me was the we get one barrel for every six they pull up. then that one barrel is split between 9 people. sounds shitty but hypothetically speaking they pull up 600 barrels a day=100barrels split between ten people = 10 barrels for just my family. 10 barrels @ $114.00= $1,140.00......a day. last year we raked in 20K or so hopefully it will increase after this insane find.

20k isnt exactly "raking it in"

his fiance's mother is having her second derrick put up soon.

I'm going to have to stop making long winded posts that people don't find helpful if only to keep you from following them all up.

Let it go -- I said people that don't care about blinding oncoming traffic with poorly-thought out lights are defective assholes. Then you said you did exactly that and didn't give a fuck, but got all bent out of shape like you definitely gave a fuck. Hopefully you don't continue "not caring" on every thread 🙂

I'm not looking to be an asshole (defective or otherwise). If it happens anyway, it must be a natural gift.

I've got no particular beef with you or anyone else, but I'll re-iterate that people that blind oncoming traffic are dicks. Move on.

I'm going to have a sensitive cry now to go heal.
wtf? sounds like you're the one holding the grudge... i just mearly said that cmk could be in the "defective asshole" section like me... i just dont get why you are bringing up headlights in a oil thread... but lets move one and ill give you a big E-hug...mkay? and just for the record... you attacked me first...

As the worldwide price of crude oil rises and falls, certain formations become worth re-exploring or abandoning until the price goes back up. Right now with the high price it makes sense to pay attention to this stuff again.

They drill oil to make money, you are the least of their concern, if they could, they wouldn't pay you at all.

Umm....more oil than is in Saudi Arabia=Oil will be there (not in all cases...but a good chunk of them) for a good long time. How long has Saudi Arabia been producing oil? Oh, yeah..pretty much from the beginning.

He died about 10 years ago, passed it on to another uncle, who just recently started to make a ton of money on it. He doesn't work, he just rakes in the money.

Guess who is next in line to inheret it? 🙂

My girlfriend's brother's fiance told me a story about her step brother, an insurance consultant in western ND, who got a call from a 90 year old client of his a week or two ago, asking him to visit her at the nursing home because she had a question about her oil check. He got there and she handed him a check for a million dollars that she received from the oil company and she said that they must have over paid her, and that she would do whatever she had to in order to get the right amount of money. A couple days later, she received a letter of apology from the oil company and a check for the correct amount - which turned out to be 115 million dollars.

This story for real?
WoW- that sucks to be 90 and finally bank roll that kind of $$ in..
