then we could have an issue in the biggest issue would be to do 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 old so if that would happen it would be a very bad thing. i was wrong to fracture in job that's where they pump the sand the fluid in the other 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 often to ground any kind of bacteria is going to kill any kind of living organism of any kind it kills it because of one of our guy has. got some of it on his hands and light and i disturb just won't his hand will bit because that's what my old bio bio kills biological. anything.
9:31 pm
i'm pretty sure is is wrong in the water. for his fruit is as is the nobody drinks the water out of iron stepfather from north dakota i think everybody drank so bottled water you know it just is just like you ever. drop water on the out of the faucet night isn't this it is pretty nasty when we're fracking no oil or grease is allowed to be spilled on the ground if you make an a mistake and you drop one cup 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 owned land this is not government land any 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.
9:32 pm
there's just. propaganda. is it possible to respect safety measures while tracking. down how to pain is advocating this notion in attempt to avoid all risk of polluting groundwater it seems to success is very unlikely either this question is me raised to address the intention of anti-fashion groups. one thing is certain the practice of hydraulic fracking to be as large quantities of drinking water. ten young is the owner of eclipse services a company of the facilitates the shipping of water for fracking through pipelines and provides water storage and its huge tanks as well. these think they're used to hold water for the fracking. thirty five thousand barrels and so they'll
9:33 pm
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 one of these wells the fresh. 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 in there it separates the oil the water and the gas this site here produces more water than what they can pipeline out here so i. i have to. look at
9:34 pm
truck in truck that out to get that disposal facility. keith there live sixty miles out of williston 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 sacred land here we have virgin land here and now there's oil roads and oil fields. at night some of these trucks to drive along gravel roads and they don't poison. blocking water it's all water logged the thing into the ditch. because they're too lazy to drive to the dump station and that it's going into our river going into our creeks if going into our spot on. the feeds 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
9:35 pm
this river where i do don'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 do won't have to worry about poisoning the planet i want to have plants with their medicine it's not deformed 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 priority they are in survival mode first and foremost they are in need of or. during the journey phase radioactive to prepare out back to the surface is a major risk for workers and the environment some companies clearly are not concerned and do not hesitate to dispose of these toxic materials into wild dumps. especially teams are left to ship them back to suitable treatment states.
9:36 pm
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 read a christmas two thousand and fourteen science turned red thanks to saudi arabia. the staggering fall of the price per barrel of oil will put it into the moment if you phoria saw the u.s. rise of the first producers of crude oil face to 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 to. 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
9:37 pm
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 they're 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 bach and in other areas they want to. these companies out of
9:38 pm
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 pocket. 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 worked with he called me and he said managers laid everybody off. he's in and told everybody to go to a room get all the stuff in get out and this was two o'clock in the morning at night in february in the winter. a man can say emptied out enclosed why day to the next.

9:45 pm
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 all 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 area because constructions doing ok they're somewhat 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've gone to south america in the middle east so they'll be back i guess some day but.
