3. The Bakken Shale deposit has been known and even tapped
on occasion for decades. But technological improvements
in the past two years have taken what was once a small,
marginally profitable field and turned it into one of the
fastest-growing oil-producing areas in the U.S.

33. A massive oil reserve buried two miles underground
has put North Dakota at the center of a revolution in
the U.S. oil industry, a shift that has radically altered
the fortunes of this remote area. . . . the past two
years have taken what was once a small, marginally
profitable field and turned it into one of the fastest-
growing oil-producing areas in the U.S.

Oil drillers have their eye on a vast oil field in and

Alaska’s reserves and potentially enough to meet
all U.S. oil needs for two decades.

New Boom Reshapes Oil World, Rocks North Dakota
“Two years ago, America was importing about two thirds
of its oil. Today, according to the Energy Information
Administration, it imports less than half. And by 2017,
investment bank Goldman Sachs predicts the US could be
poised to pass Saudi Arabia and overtake Russia as the
world's largest oil producer.
“Places like Williston are the reason why.”

38. September 25, 2011
“Williston has skipped the recession entirely.
Unemployment there is less than 2 percent. The
population, the mayor estimates, has grown from
12,000 to 20,000 in the last four years.
"We actually have probably between 2,000 and
3,000 job openings in Williston right now," Koeser says.”

39. Here’s the challenge:
"All the workers. And then you have roads and
trucks and pipelines. And then you have all
the community services that have to be
provided — law enforcement, education. So
it turns into a real bonanza in terms of
income. . . ."

 "When we came up here, we were told housing
was tough but not impossible," Featheringill
says. He and his wife got lucky and borrowed
an RV from a family friend. . . . Most of the RV
spots around here run $1,000 to $1,200. That's
$1,000 a month, just for a parking space. Is that
not amazing?" Featheringill says. "And that's
in a 70-mile radius. Just to park your RV."

 “North Dakota has a novel problem: plenty of jobs, but
nowhere to put the people who hold them. [I]n this
city rising from the long empty stretches of North
Dakota, hundreds are sleeping in their cars or living in
motel rooms, pup tents and tiny campers meant for
weekend getaways in warmer climes. They are staying
on cots in offices and in sleeping bags in the concrete
basements of people they barely know.”
“And the problem is certain to worsen….”

“Federal housing secretary Shaun Donovan is visiting
Williston to get a firsthand look at western North Dakota’s
housing shortage. Williston and other western towns don’t
have enough places to live for people who have come in to
work in the oil fields.
“Gov. John Hoeven, Sen. Kent Conrad . . . . said most of the
new housing is going to have to come from private
developers.”*

“.... Across cities in sparsely populated North Dakota and
Montana, hotels have no vacancies, apartment complexes
are full, and RV parks are popping up to catch the overflow
of oil field workers pouring into the area…..”
“North Dakota continued to lead the country in June
with lowest state jobless rate of 3.2% . . . . thanks to the
increased oil drilling and exploration.
“Help-wanted signs are everywhere, and just like in the 1980s,
oilfield workers are being hired on the spot.”
