North Sea Oil
Stormwatch
Jethro Tull

Black and viscous — bound to cure blue lethargy
Sugar-plum petroleum for energy
Tightrope-balanced payments need a small reprieve
Oh, please believe we want to be
in North Sea Oil
New-found wealth sits on the shelf of yesterday
Hot-air balloon — inflation soon will make you pay
Riggers rig and diggers dig their shallow grave
But we’ll be saved and what we crave
is North Sea Oil
Prices boom in Aberdeen and London Town
Ten more years to lay the fears, erase the frown
before we are all nuclear — the better way!
Oh, let us pray: we want to stay
in North Sea Oil

September 2008

The American state of North Dakota is experiencing an oil boom. Using new technologies it is extracting oil thats previously been out of reach. Can this help solve Americas dependency on foreign oil?
Spurred on by record high oil prices, North Dakotan farmers are going after hard to reach oil, and their land is finally making them rich. Dakota sits on the Bakken, a rock formation with huge potential oil reserves. With current technology, we can get 1% to 2% of the oil out of the Bakken, we may be able to collect 2 billion barrels, tells the President of North Dakotas Petroleum Council. Former oilman T. Boone Pickens believes America needs to end its reliance on foreign oil. Yet he doesnt think the oil reserves here are enough to fuel America, you can’t drill your way out he claims. Americas need for a new energy future looks set to bring yet more change, and wealth, to North Dakota.

CRUDE INDEPENDENCE | Documentary Film Trailer

admin — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 08:13:54 +0000

Crude Independence is a documentary film about the heartland in the process of transplanting itself, and its new heart is pumping oil. In 2006, the United States Geological Survey estimated there to be more than 200 billion barrels of crude oil resting in a previously unreachable formation beneath western North Dakota. With the advent of new drilling technologies, oil companies from far and wide are descending on small rural towns across the state with men and machinery in tow. Director Noah Hutton takes us to the town of Stanley (population 1300), sitting atop the largest oil discovery in the history of the North American continent, and captures the change wrought by the unprecedented boom. Through revealing interviews and breathtaking imagery of the northern plains, Crude Independence is a rumination on the future of small town America—a tale of change at the hands of the global energy market and Americas unyielding thirst for oil.

North Dakota Oil Boom

admin — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 01:47:50 +0000

The Bakken formation oil find is bringing some sorely needed funds and new opportunities to an economically depressed area.

And neither worthless politicians, nor eco-nuts can prevent the work, they cannot prevent Americans from reaching it, as in the case of off-shore oil fields.

It is creating new jobs, new opportunities, brings much needed funds to Native Americans, and the AMERICAN WORKER!

As opposed to lining the pockets of those, who would slash your throat in a heartbeat …
