Not so well, after the US companies got the boot. Given ten minutes on a drilling rig, the average roughneck could fix it so it would not work well for a month. Just saying.
What makes the US oil industry the world leader is the competition between companies to produce oil more economically (which brings marginal wells into the range of economical wells) and the fact that it is private enterprise.
Given the government's penchant for one-size-fits all policy, I'd expect disaster after disaster as they tried to produce oil.
Of course I was being facetious.
But, that WOULD be their “solution” - government takeover.
With the pipeline, drilling may pick up if the Feds get out of the way.
We have had similar problems in ND where the Bakken oil, once trading on par with WTI, was being discounted by up to $35/bbl because there was no room for it on the pipeline.
At the other end, though (once it got there) it was worth full price.
What was the pipeline carrying?.. Canadian oil?..
So Obamao’s definition of support is for things that cannot be done now while halting things that can be done now.
“HE IS DUMBER THAT A BOX OF ROCKS AND ALL THAT HE HAS DONE WAS TO BRIBE, COERCE AND THREATEN... HE IS A STREET THUG... HE TAKES HIS ORDERS FROM SOROS AND OTHER COMMIES.”
I couldn’t agree more. I don’t want to brag, but I am a very intelligent person myself [if IQ means anything]. Trust me, I can tell if another person is intelligent or not. Obama may be a smidgen above average or not, but that’s his general bracket. There is no flexibility, creativity or originality in any of his thinking. He bought a certain ideology early on and all he can do is parrot inane generalities about it, regardless of circumstances. A good debater could make him look like a halfwit in under twenty minutes. Sadly, with the media’s nonstop help, he’s managed to further the idea that he is something special, including mentally. Sorry, it just isn’t so.
Yep - see my tagline (much like yours!)
Those fossil fuels along with the USSA have been promised to the New World Order. America will become a wildlife refuge where the elite can shoot everything from Timber wolves to Buffalo.
Look for biochemicals or nuetrons or maybe old fashoined starvation to rid the land of useless eaters.
True... he is devious and cunning... that is not intelligence... and he is dumber than a box of hammers.

Absolutely... and I too have an IQ above average (158) and I also have the ability to read and listen to a person for a bit and understand at what level they function. Thank you for the reply.

Whoa nellie, now THAT is a high IQ. ;)
Yes, it’s easy to see that Obama is not that bright the instant you get past the media meme. People today are so gullible. I have faith, though, that the naked emperor will eventually be seen for what he is.
Token. You know what a token is , don’t you Barry?
Canadian Tar sands crude, mixed with Bakken oil to thin it out a mite.
