Ca changera beaucoup de choses…
Massive Oil Deposit Could Increase US reserves by 10x
America is sitting on top of a super massive 200 billion barrel Oil Field that could potentially make America Energy Independent and until now has largely gone unnoticed. Thanks to new technology the Bakken Formation in North Dakota could boost America’s Oil reserves by an incredible 10 times, giving western economies the trump card against OPEC’s short squeeze on oil supply and making Iranian and Venezuelan threats of disrupted supply irrelevant.
In the next 30 days the USGS (U.S. Geological Survey) will release a new report giving an accurate resource assessment of the Bakken Oil Formation that covers North Dakota and portions of South Dakota and Montana. With new horizontal drilling technology it is believed that from 175 to 500 billion barrels of recoverable oil are held in this 200,000 square mile reserve that was initially discovered in 1951. The USGS did an initial study back in 1999 that estimated 400 billion recoverable barrels were present but with prices bottoming out at $10 a barrel back then the report was dismissed because of the higher cost of horizontal drilling techniques that would be needed, estimated at $20-$40 a barrel.
It was not until 2007, when EOG Resources of Texas started a frenzy when they drilled a single well in Parshal N.D. that is expected to yield 700,000 barrels of oil that real excitement and money started to flow in North Dakota. Marathon Oil is investing $1.5 billion and drilling 300 new wells in what is expected to be one of the greatest booms in Oil discovery since Oil was discovered in Saudi Arabia in 1938.
The US imported about 14 million barrels of Oil per day in 2007 , which means US consumers sent about $340 Billion Dollars over seas building palaces in Dubai and propping up unfriendly regimes around the World, if 200 billion barrels of oil at $90 a barrel are recovered in the high plains the added wealth to the US economy would be $18 Trillion Dollars which would go a long way in stabilizing the US trade deficit and could cut the cost of oil in half in the long run.

Tiens , voila les resultats de l’enquete geologique annoncee par l’article :
North Dakota and Montana have an estimated 3.0 to 4.3 billion barrels of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil in an area known as the Bakken Formation. A U.S. Geological Survey assessment, released April 10, shows a 25-fold increase in the amount of oil that can be recovered compared to the agency’s 1995 estimate of 151 million barrels of oil.
Technically recoverable oil resources are those producible using currently available technology and industry practices. USGS is the only provider of publicly available estimates of undiscovered technically recoverable oil and gas resources.

Devant le délire xénophobe de ce blog, je ne vois plus que cette nouvelle pour ramener tout le monde sur terre, et sur les questions vraiment importantes:
Of more than 2,000 doctors surveyed, 59 percent said they support legislation to establish a national health insurance program, while 32 percent said they opposed it, researchers reported in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine of USA.

With oil prices hovering around $70 a barrel, Israel is looking for ways to reduce its near-total dependence on energy imports. It’s pondering the use of the nation’s huge reserves of oil shale—a dark, crumbly rock loaded with hydrocarbons—located in the central and southern parts of the country. Thanks to a technical breakthrough, it should be possible to extract fuel oil from the shale for less than $20 a barrel. That could allow Israel eventually to cut its crude imports by up to one-third

The U.S. Geological Survey is nearing completion of a research project that will attempt to quantify how much oil is contained in the Bakken shales formation and how much of it is recoverable.
The study is expected to be completed by late April, according to Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., who, along with other state officials, pushed the federal agency to finish the research started by scientist Leigh Price.
Patience donc…

Le probleme est quadruple :
- L’info est toute fraiche, et quand les MSM en parleront tout le monde criera au scoop.
- La technologie necessaire existe n’est pas encore assez « rodee »
- Les malades mentaux genocidaires de la branche du Rechauffisme ou des Native Americans vont certainement se dechainer
- Ca mettra un tel coup de pied dans la fourmiliere geopolitique (que vont devenir les petrojihadistes arabes ou les petromarxistes venezueliens ?) que les journaleux vont devoir redecouvrir leur metier. Le dogme dominant (les Americains tuent des bebes arabes pour leur voler du petrole) devra etre revu, et ca prendra beaucoup de temps et de Prozac.

A part des histoire de pyton le 20 fevrier, un tremblement de terre le 13 fevrier et des problemes de genie civil a la meme date, rien sur la plus grande decouverte de petrole depuis les annees trentes du siecle precedent du cote de l’Arabie Saoudite
Cela me semble un Hoax cette histoire….

essayons une prédiction: ils garderont leur réserve…actuellement il vaut mieux continuer à le faire venir du MO…qui voit ses réserves diminuer fortement…le point de bascule ayant été déjà atteint selon certains…et quand le MO n’aura plus que du sable a exporter,ils pourront utiliser le leur et envoyer les chameliers jouer avec leur sable!

Alberta’s oilsands deposits are the country’s largest source of oil, with reserves estimated at between 1.7 trillion and 2.5 trillion barrels. With this enormous reserve, Canada accounts for 13 per cent of the world’s total oil reserves.

Fred: aucune idee, mais vous avez ici un article plus complet
Petit extrait :
Estimates are anywhere from a conservative 25 billion barrels of oil in place, to a high estimate by the United States Geological Survey of 400 billion barrels of oil in the Bakken formation. Not only is the oil plentiful, but it’s high quality too, 41 degree light sweet crude. The Bakken formation is a formation of black shale, siltstone, and sandstone. The formation lies beneath the Mississippian formation, Saskatchewan’s current source of light sweet crude. The Bakken formation is situated beneath southeastern Saskatchewan, southwestern Manitoba, and North Dakota.
In 2007, EOG Resources out of Houston, Texas reported that a single well it had drilled into an oil-rich layer of shale below Parshall, North Dakota is anticipated to produce 700,000 barrels of oil.
The resources of the Bakken Formation are defined by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) as unconventional “continuous-type” oil resources. This means the hydrocarbons within the Bakken have not accumulated into discrete reservoirs of limited areal extent. With new horizontal drilling and completion technology taken into account, the technically recoverable resource base for the entire Bakken Formation is potentially much larger.

A WhiteOil : bonne question… je suis allee faire un petit peu de recherche parce que franchement je n’y connais rien en la matiere, et voici un commentaire trouve sur le meme article sur ce blog :
I also predict, knowing a bit about report writing and what a bomb this one is going to be, that the thirty days will be more like three to five months.

oui mais l’exploitation de ces réserves se ferait à partir de quand et sous quels délais on peut espérer utiliser ce pétrole ?

La nouvelle date du 13 fevrier, or:

Nous etions conscients de ces reserves de schistes bitumineux…Mais si l’ingeniosite, le talent, l’entrepreneurship, les efforts, l’optimisme (tout ce qui manque a la France) permettent de recuperer (a l’horizontale) ces 200 milliards de barils, c’est de la dynamite. Plutot du pain beni. Wait and see.
