11:30 am
they don't need any your permission foreign oil industry follows a proper practices i don't think will have a problem but there's always that if me if they don't then we could have an issue in the biggest issue would be to do ground water as i see it when we live 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 a fraction john that's where they pump the sand the fluid and you know the chemicals 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 a ground any kind of bacteria is going to kill it any kind of living organism of any kind it kills because one of our guy has. got some of it on his
11:31 am
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 is wrong in the water. for an issue that is as is the nobody drinks the water out of. 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 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. the. this
11:32 am
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. 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 to express the intention of anti-fashion groups. one thing is certain the practice of hydraulic fracking to be as large quantities of drinking water. can young is the owner of eclipse services a company of the facilities to shipping of water for fracking through pipelines and
11:33 am
provides water storage and its huge tanks as well. the think that used to hold water for the fracking. 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. so that's been millions of dollars on water for one is one of the biggest expenses one of these wells the pressure. on 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 to. grows underground
11:34 am
to the treaters and there it separates the oil the water in the gas this site your produces more water than what they can pipeline out here so i have to come in with a truck in truck that out to get to disposal facility. keys barely 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 roads and oil fields. at night time some of these trucks to drive along gravel roads and they don't poison. fracking water it's all water logged the thing into the ditch. because
11:35 am
they're too lazy to drive to the dump station and that it's going into our river going into our tricks with 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 one can to catch a fish you can eat you know want to grow a garden and to do would have to worry about poison in the plant i want to have plants with their medicine that's not before and now because of the things that are in the 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 as a measure. risk for workers and the environment some companies clearly are not
11:36 am
concerned and did not hesitate dispose of these toxic materials into wild dumps. especially 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 read a christmas two thousand and fourteen all science turned red thanks to saudi arabia the staggering fall of the price per barrel of oil put it in and the moment of euphoria the us 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
11:37 am
shows the science of a boom town going to. people in this town are very very suspicious of oil booms because they 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 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 some. like sixty percent of the oil that we use
11:38 am
down to thirty percent and that is a direct result of the hydraulic fracturing that's taken place like here and will stand in a box and in a 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 pocket. this situation brings happiness to the ones for him 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 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 there's a two o'clock in the morning at night in february in the winter.
11:39 am
a man can say 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. housing construction began at the peak of the realest boom is now nearly complete. occupied in part by survivors of the good the neighborhood seems sadly empty.
11:40 am
even with the downturn in the economy. boiled prices. i can still make more money than i can back home. just. not as much they're 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 or. and this young the lying circumstances that's
11:41 am
a load for these emotions of this very very eventful violence. i think that we may get the sons and even grandsons of dies at some point in the future it's primarily a political issue no oftentimes taken minutes from here. and i'm sure cations. dallas. dolls. dallas. i knew that dallas adalius what i did with us. when they dragged here. by you not going to get rid of those who will not go away the nice guy quiet. real the hard well being. it was the true.
11:42 am
u.s. veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either there already several generations of them so i just got this memo from the circuit events officer says we got to act and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with their money others with their lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war and surely we can risk some discomfort for an easy miss for.
11:43 am
it's hard. but i am i'm really good money here are the bills off memory able to help our children out. our children are very work. 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. the roof
11:44 am
thanks we we had to hold the water otherwise that the well shut down and. people get upset so. you do what you have to do. in the oil. adults has slowed down but still steady and you know doing just well doing three jobs every day of the week. don't show up it's work about sixty eight hours. in the day for the guy doing construction maybe five or six. and this he's now working out three or four
11:45 am
making the sandwiches and. i write this place to adam 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 good will do the same job i was doing. for half the price and you
11:46 am
know how many donuts oh. wow. they were twenty four dozen or. 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 you know. missing. 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
11:47 am
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 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
11:48 am
and there will be a huge labor shortage the companies will be throwing money at us. so. 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 who gone back home i guess i know some are gone back to the bozeman big sky area because 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've gone to south america in the middle east so they'll be back i guess some day but.
11:49 am
so that's the whole process. sort of her claim to me. 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. and this is. this was a born garage and there was a snow storm and heavy snow storm 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
11:50 am
and i. have a hose hooked up in there and i was under it. thanks . to 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. here.
11:51 am
so tonight we'll. do. one of the last minute rush. but it's nice to have the company and enjoy. as i said before if you're really outside of. former girlfriend kamal difficult 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 far far far too interested in girls. that like politics i've come to realize
11:52 am
well politics is a scam girls are just problems. and. so i stay away from both up. 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. there goes one more. always get this one and keep on going around the corner.
11:53 am
because you're going to go on out to get the best that. you should think they said . cindy the owner of the other 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
11:54 am
college. they were can 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 won't be nearly as. much money and.
11:55 am
i'm not. going to try the optimist. i think it's going to come back.
11:56 am
nobody could see coming that false confessions would be that prevalent in this population up wrongful conviction if you look ahead any interrogation out there what you'll see is threat promise threat promise threat lie a lie a lie the process of interrogation is designed to put people in just that frame of mind make the most comfortable make them want to get out and don't take no for an answer don't accept their denials she said if i would cooperate santa statement
11:57 am
that i would be home by that time the next day there's a culture of odd accountability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with solving a crime. i've been saying the numbers mean fuck they matter the us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten life over crime stamping each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember one one business shows you can afford to miss the one and only.
11:58 am
what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to. have to go right to the press it's like that before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in my house. where should. i go to please go camp sundown to get for people that can't love this side and they're like so vampire to have. like a safe house i guess they don't have to talk about what they go through but that's because we understand her daughter katie was diagnosed with a very rare sun sensitive condition if i get sunburned i heal she does or she'll
11:59 am
patients when they have problems with the walk to talk to some of the brains of gradually shrinking inside their scolded sleeker in the brain still small. the pain is indescribable it's feels like a really really bad chemical burn but it goes through your skin in your muscles always down to the bone and there's no really. we're just not sure this is but it's just.
