Good information but how is that relevant to the question of whether the federal government has the right to takeover any drilling or pumping of oil in the region?
Can the BLM enter a drilling site say on land under a BLM lease and take over? It was reported that the drillers and investors would be compensated and that the oil would be brought under the SPR.
The rest of your technical details I am sure the drillers complied with. But I asked the question that if-if-if this was a confirmed oil strike just days ago, how could federal agents know and act so quick?
I think the message may be garbled but it is reported to come from someone who is one of the most knowledgeable people in the region. So we will see if anything comes of it. And if nothing comes of it but we hear of another such incident, then we can start to see a pattern.
In the meantime enjoy making your lectures. You have accumulated some good information but your attitude needs a big adjustment.
It is many miles from Stanley, ND to the closest BLM land. Is this supposed to be BLM land or is this a separate topic?
I know the region, I know the industry, and have been in both for 35 years. Most of what you are saying is at best unlikely, at worst, just not happening. If I continue to give you details, all I'm doing is better enabling you to spew nonsense and seem like you might have a clue what you are talking about.
My attitude?
Don't pull that sanctimonious crap on me.
You have made assertions that people in this industry are liars, cheats, thieves, and pirates. Say that to my face (or any of theirs), and you'll be invited to meet on the other side of the cattleguard and learn some manners.
Or better yet, stay in Washington State and hide behind your keyboard, you fraud.
