Williston Herald Supplement: "Talkin' The Bakken" -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Link here. (PDF)

Lots of advertising, but that's actually half the fun when reading about the Bakken.

Notice how many hours these folks work in the oil patch: 90 - 100 hours/week.

1.5 million bbls/day by 2015 out of the Bakken? Before recent problems in Libya, that's how much they say Libya was producing.

An excellent supplement.

If I was a 20-something living in Detroit, looking for a job, I would be driving to the Bakken (North Dakota), Niobrara (Wyoming/Colorado), and or Eagle Ford (south Texas) as fast I could.
