Not to step on you, but fracking is a production enhancement technique used to maximize production for an already drilled wellbore. There isn’t any such thing as “frack land”. As far as I know, there are no mineral acres in play in clark county for oil well drilling, at least not in this area. The area being considered for exploratory drilling is over by Wells, a considerable distance from the Bundy’s Ranch.
I am involved in the hydraulic fracturing industry or ‘fracking’. I know that fracking is an explosive technique to enhance oil production for a well head. I refer to ‘frack land’ as land that can be available for fracking leases:

The above link references that fracking leases are behind the Bundy conflict. The link has a further link to the following map document:
http://www.naturalnews.com/files/Petroleum-Data-Clark-County-Nevada.pdf
and claims that it “shows significant exploratory drilling being conducted in precisely the same area where the Bundy family has been running cattle since the 1870’s.”
and further that
“The “Gold Butte” area is indicated on the lower right corner of the document (see below), and it clearly shows numerous exploratory drilling operations have been conducted there.”
and further again that:
“What’s also clear is that oil has been found in nearby areas and possibly even within the Gold Butte area itself.”
Now I know that no single person has a handle on all the fracking that’s going on in the USA nor does anyone know where all the pipelines are both new and old and also in construction. And this is for reasons of regional security and national security.
So your assertion that only Wells NV is involved is a partial blinded view from all that is happening because in this industry people and officials hold a lot of information close to their vests.
It appears also that another motivation behind the conflict are the interests of Harry Reid, his son Rory and the Chinese with their offer to install a 5-billion dollar solar plant facility on the land that the Bundy cattle graze on.
This is what I know and believe:
1. The Saudis are losing sleep at night with the prospect of the Bakken development and its proven reserves of more than 10 times those of Saudi Arabia as well as other plays that are forecast to yield significant production. The Saudis will use their money and influence anywhere to shut down American fracking developments.
2. Environmentalists have threatened to ‘crucify’ Obama if he grants a presidential permit for oil to ship via pipeline between the USA and Canada. This information comes from a top manager from one of the USA’s largest logistics companies. What ‘crucify’ means I can only guess that it may have to do with allowing investigations and impeachments to move ahead if Obama doesn’t comply with fascist environmentalist demands. And these so-called environmentalists are not really environmentalists per se, they are fascists like Soros who use the EPA as a tool to restrain the USA and to garner control for themselves.
3. The global currency reset that is believed will be kicked off on July 1 of this year will have each nation’s currency based on its resource assets and its liabilities. Combine this information that China and Russia want to knock down the US Dollar as the reserve currency behind the global oil trade and we see a motive for taking US ‘Frack Lands’ off the table as a national asset for valuation of the US Dollar.
4. Throw in the pitiful and ludicrous environmental support of the desert turtle and we see that there is plenty of motive and intent behind the Bundy conflict.
5. Harry Reid and son appear to be implicated in a Chinese solar deal that is claiming that cattle grazing is damaging to their impact offsets.
Put all the above together and it appears the motives behind this conflict stink.
