well. this is the pat on the land. five years ago it was all grass. like that over there now and this is pumper going day in day out we didn't have any choice really we could have put it over that way or ways i mean we could have moved it a little bit. but we have to let the people who own the mineral rights get to those minorities and they compensated us for what they took here but the company built it and we have it now for own next forty years i'm guessing i don't own. my house up there from there we have we used to have a beautiful view. now we have this to look at brings in a little bit of money very little if they took us out of here and get back all the money i made off of it. ain't going to happen.

someday. you know an oil is all pumped out of the ground they will come back here and level it all out and turn it back into farmland but that's you know like i said it's going to be out of most of our lifetimes and be out of mind for sure. have nothing to say about where. i should say i have nothing to say you can suggest.

but they don't have to listen to you don't mean you have no legal say in it put it that way so yeah they can put a wherever they want they don't need any your permission foreign oil industry follows the proper practices i don't think we'll have a problem but there's always that if the if they don't then we could have an issue in the biggest issue would be to to ground water as i see it when we live our air in rural areas most of us depend on wells for our our drinking water and all the water we use in our homes so if that would happen it would be a very bad thing. i was wrong a fraction john that's where they pump the sand the fluid inhale the chemicals because they use as it is one they use a chemical called bio bio it kills all biological elements so so when they pumped out that off in their ground any kind of bacteria is going to kill it any kind of

living organism of any kind it kills it because one of our guy has. got some of it on his hands and light and i disturb just swallow his hand and we will buy it because that's what my old bio bio kills biological. anything. i'm pretty sure is it's is wrong in the water. for his fruit is as a nobody drinks the water out of that stepfather from north dakota i think everybody drank so bottled water you know it just it's just like you ever. drop water on the out of the faucet night isn't this it it's pretty nasty when we're fracking no oil or grease is allowed to be spilled on the grounds if you make an a mistake and you drop one cop you have to clean it up and take it away with you.

it's not polluting north dakota the air is clean the water is clean. this is privately on land this is not government land i mean less the environmental protection agency finds scientific proof that there is real pollution going on they won't be able to shut this down. and so far there is no proof. there's just. propaganda. is it possible to respect safety measures tracking. down how to paint is advocating this notion in attempt to avoid all risk of polluting groundwater it seems to success is very unlikely. the question is me raised as grass the intention of anti-fashion groups. one thing is certain the practice if i try the tracking to be as large quantities of drinking water.

ten young is the owner of eclipse services a company of the facilities to shipping of water for fracking through pipelines and provides water storage and its huge tanks as well. these things are used to hold water for the fracking the whole thirty five thousand barrels and so they'll pump water from one to the other until eventually it's over to the frac and down the hole. it's fresh water all that water thrown in here is coming out of the city water line so it's all clean water. you know that's been millions of dollars on water for one frac is one of the biggest expenses or one of these wells the frac . of the water after the frac they just log back out of the ground and they all went off to a disposal facility. right here this is called a flare natural gas comes up with the oil and. so they have to get rid of it so

they just burn it off right here loyal comes out of the pump jacks goes underground to the treaters and there it separates the oil the water in the guess this site your produces more water than what they can pipeline out of here so i have to come in with a truck intricate out take it to disposal facilities. keep their lives sixty miles out of the list and on fort berthold reservation for black gold flows freely and accounts for one quarter of north dakota's production. this oil field isn't all that good for everybody we have secured land here we have virgin land here and now there's oil roll with oil fields. at night time some of these trucks to drive along gravel roads and they don't

poison. trucking water it's all water all the things into the ditch. because they're too lazy to drive to the dump station and that is going into our river going into our cricks it's going into our stock pond. this is not in the water but it is you know they're not telling the truth. i have twenty nine grandchildren i want them to enjoy this river where i didn't want them to walk in the water i want them to catch a fish you can eat you know want to grow a garden and to do and have to worry about poison in the plant i want to have plants with better medicine that's not before and now because of the things that are in this water. oil workers are best suited to judge the eventual pollution is caused by fracking. unfortunately this problem is not a primary they are in survival mode first and foremost they are. in need of work.

during the drilling phase radioactive debris perhaps back to the surface is a major risk for workers and the environment some companies clearly are not concerned and do not hesitate to suppose of these toxic materials into wild dumps. specially teams are left to ship them back to suitable treatment say it's. in north dakota no one with an oil rich piece of land will tell you that fracking could be an environmental hazard. doing so could jeopardize one of the best ways to get rich quick. of course all beautiful stories have been in rhetoric christmas two thousand and fourteen all science turned red thanks to saudi arabia the staggering fall of the price per barrel of oil will put an end to the moment if you phoria this on the us rise of the first producers of crude oil based the shale.

we can feel the concern brought by the price cut everywhere and will is to now shows the science of a boom town going bust. people in this town are very very suspicious of oil booms because that almost always comes with a large bust and the bust to be rather difficult and now that i'm a part of this town i'm a little bit worried because we're seeing gas prices start to drop down and i'm wondering what's going to happen to my business because we have a message here. january two thousand and fifteen the price per barrel fell below the crucial fifty dollars mark. in this little town here west and is a major major reason why the price of oil around the world is coming down because the opec countries saudi arabia leading them there out there they're very scared by the. developments in. hydraulic fracturing they know that the united states in the

past five years went from importing something like sixty percent of the oil that we use down to thirty percent and that is a direct result of the hydraulic fracturing that's taken place like here and williston in the box and in other areas they want to put these companies out of business. even if circumstances are worrisome these days i fear that he has not stopped after taking ten thousand wells we still need to extract the millions of barrels lying beneath the bakken. this situation brings happiness to the one person for serious companies but it is devastating to the oil workers who are no longer needed they are thrown out into the streets without pity they must decide whether to go back home or stay liston looking for new jobs. in february twenty fifteen want one of my coworkers i work with he calmly and he said manages late everybody oh. he's in and told everybody to go to a room get all

a stuff in get out and there's a two o'clock in the morning at night in february in the winter. man can't emptied out enclosed from one day to the next. these dilapidated barracks will probably pollute the landscape for eight years to come. construction sites for abandoned by the dozen and left to rest and to keep. housing construction began at the peak of the willis to whom it is now nearly complete. occupied. part of why survivors are to be

the neighborhood seems sadly empty. even with the downturn in the economy. boil prices. i can still make more money than i can back home. just. not as much they used to. i consider myself fortunate because i still have a job as talk no friend just yesterday he got laid off so he's got to go back to louisiana to find find work. because there are not too many people hiring a. local wal-mart to sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the

chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles. that you stopped by to tell you that it's not be gossiping probably by itself most of the day. but i'm often asked doesn't tell you i'm not cool enough and that's my problem. all the hawks that we along with all the one. thing. is this is harlan kentucky the. we all in this movement places you can walk in street fanny's any moment. in a coma any city with almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the polis just said that that was a laugh to see these people

a survivor disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the phone lines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in the million years i would see that and it's happened it's happened. it's hard. but. i made them good money bills off memory able to help my children. my children are very poor. just something that has to be good. you know it's it's just like this job too

you know two nights ago i wanted to go home i was tired. but. there was a high takes we we had to haul the water otherwise there's the well shut down and. people get upset so. you do what you have to do. well i'm not in the oil. adults has slowed down a little bit but still steady and you know i'm doing just well doing three jobs every day of the week. said the donor shop it's work about sixty eight

hours. in the day for the guy doing construction maybe five or six hours and this he's now working out three or four making the sandwiches and. i read this place down for only three hundred fifty dollars a month he has the whole downstairs to himself. which is a little bit messy. i claimed. he had to

leave california because there's no jobs why is there no jobs there's too many mexicans makes kids will do the same job i was doing for half of the price. you know how many donuts oh. wow. they were twenty four or. have. been encouraging out of to save some money. so that he can move his family here and put a deposit first and last month's rent on an apartment is a good father he misses a little girl. mr. forward . when oil reached twenty nine dollars

a barrel we weren't doing anything march was a bad month but now it's suddenly picked up to forty dollars a barrel and we're busy again the companies have done so much cost cutting and efficiency that if the price goes to fifty it will be like it used to be eighty. the rig counts the number of rigs drilling new holes in the ground has gone way down from over two hundred to i think the thirty five rigs active in the block and . as time goes on without new wells being drilled and fret our one point one million barrels a day will go down naturally slowly in some point in the two to five years there will be a supply and demand reversal whereas now we're oversupplied will be under supplied and the price will shoot up. between now and then it will go like this and at some

point it will go up. and if the price go ever goes to one hundred and it will someday. north dakota will be crawling with workers looking for housing and there will be a huge labor shortage the companies will be throwing money at us. now we're mostly working for folks who have oil rigs oil pumps on their land and they have those monthly checks coming in from the old companies and they're spending money on their homes. or lot of people have disappeared out here gone back home i guess i know some are gone back to bozeman big sky erika's constructions doing ok there some went back to minneapolis some to idaho but yeah a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here anymore they're all gone just slow down too much they lost their jobs got laid off so couldn't put in the hours a lot of families to a lot of guys in the oil business the higher ups the guys making more money they

want to south america in the middle east so they'll be back i guess some day but. so that's the general process. sort of her cleaning the litter. i could buy a house and i did i could stay in a very nice apartment but i don't need it and i have very low overhead and i like it that way and i don't have a lot of needs. for this is stuff. this was

a barn garage and there was a snow storm and heavy snowstorm about three years ago i suppose and the snow load on the roof caused the roof to collapse so anyway it's kind of an open air garage and. i. have a hose hooked up in there and i wash it off and rick. thank . you the oil industry has changed dramatically and i don't like to see that i see companies going out of business and people being fired and laid off and loading up a u.-haul trailers and heading out of town and it's sad. it hasn't really affected me because. we service the infrastructure that has been built and once that infrastructure is built it still needs to be maintained i'm very

thankful for that sort of share here. so tonight we'll. do. one of the last minute rush. but it's nice to have the company and i actually enjoy . as i said before i've if you're really outside of. the former girlfriend came all the times oh you're like the only visitors that i've had here. in the over forty years that i've been with most. used to be are are or who are

interested in girls. that like politics i've come to realize well politics is a scam girls are just problems. i mean. so i stay away from both of. you. for. this gas station over here we used to deliver to them. three four dozen donuts last week they quit the order altogether because nobody was coming in to buy don't so.

it was one more. it's always get this one and keep on going around the corner. because you're going to go on out to get the best that. you should frank de sac. cindy the owner of the or the manager of the store there. her business is down so far that she's had to. take on a second job now so she soles cosmetics to women here in the oil field. we gave a lot to come up here but we thought it was going to be best for our family we

thought that the oil boom would be here for at least another fifteen years and that we would be able to. be able to make enough money to pay for our kids to go to college. the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and. it's a tough reality and new york. and . this.

is still a boom will come back but if it does it'll be much much more shallow a growth curve. and i won't be nearly as. much money and. i'm not. going to try the optimist. i think it's going to come back. home.

the drive towards war against syria is unmistakable the pretax is still another alleged chemical attack as usual no evidence is presented as usual conclusions are drawn before an independent investigation we live in a very dangerous time. because of the
