Secret Colorado
Oil Discovery
Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest
untapped oil reserve in the world more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8,
2005 President Bush mandated its extraction. Three companies have been chosen
to lead the way. Test drilling has already begun...
Dear Reader,
Very recently, the U.S. Energy Department announced the results of a land
survey...
It was conducted to determine the official amount of oil a thousand feet deep
in the Rocky Mountains...
They reported this stunning news:
We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on
earth.
Here are the official estimates:
8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia
18-times as much oil as Iraq
21-times as much oil as Kuwait
22-times as much oil as Iran
500-times as much oil as Yemen
...And its all right here in the Western United States.
James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says, Weve got more oil in this
very compact area than the entire Middle East.
More than 2 TRILLION barrels. Untapped.
Thats more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world
today, reports The Denver Post.
When asked about Americas least-publicized oil supply, Utah Senator Orrin
Hatch said:
The amounts of oil are staggering. Who would have guessed that in just
Colorado and Utah, there is more recoverable oil than in the Middle East?
Heres the kicker...
The U.S. government already owns the land. Its been right there under our
noses the whole time.
In fact, the governments appointed a small group of companies to begin the
drilling.
Test drilling has already begun.
And the profit forecasts are ridiculous. According to the RAND Corporation (a
public-policy think tank for the government), this small region can produce:
Three million barrels of oil per day... That translates into more than $20
BILLION a year.
These are the conservative estimates. The U.S. Energy Dept. estimates an
eventual output of 10 million barrels of oil per day. At that rate, the money
flow would be even greater.
Ive written this letter to tell you everything Ive learned about this rarely
publicized oil reserve... whos drilling it... and how to get a piece of the
worlds biggest, untapped oil supply before its too late.
Heres the full story
The Next American Oil Boom
Theres a new source of oil in the American West.
Today, it sits idle untapped inside more than 16,000 square miles of rock
and sand.
Geologists call what lies in this region, oil shale.
What is oil shale?
At first glance, oil shale looks like an ordinary black rock.
It feels grainy to the touch and... greasy. You see, whats inside oil shale
has huge governments, Big Oil, venture capitalists, and even everyday investors
scrambling to stake a claim.
Oil shale when heated oozes bubbling crude.
This precious resource is rare found only in a few select countries. Places
like China, Brazil, Estonia, Morocco, and Australia.
But the real story is how much untapped oil shale lies beneath U.S. soil. As
the chart to the right indicates, theres 4-times more oil shale in the U.S.
than in all other countries combined.
Over the past 125 years, oil shale has been the secret oil source for a
handful of nations. Specifically, those fortunate enough to have it...
Chinas been using oil shale since 1929. Today, China is the largest
producer of oil from oil shale. It plans to double the daily rate of production
soon.
Estonia is an oil shale dependent economy. Over 90% of the countrys
electricity is fueled by shale oil. In fact, electricity run on oil shale is a
chief export.
In 1991, Brazil built the worlds largest oil shale facility. Theyve
already produced more than 1.5 MILLION tons of oil to make high quality
transportation fuels.
Jordan, Morocco, and Australia have recently announced plans to utilize
their oil shale resources. All 3 governments are currently working to build oil
shale facilities.
But all these countries oil shale resources pale in comparison to the U.S.
supply. As you can see from the table to the right, the United States dominates
the oil shale market with over 72% of the worlds oil shale resources.
Our gargantuan supply of oil lies beneath an area called the Green River
Formation a barren stretch of land covering portions of Colorado, Utah, and
Wyoming.
World-renowned geologist Walter Youngquist calls the oil beneath the Green
River Formation, a national treasure.
Congress calls this area simply, the next Saudi Arabia.
Its easy to see why...
This region holds the largest known oil reserve on the planet...
Colorados Oil Lands Restricted for 76 Years, Now Open for Drilling
There are over 16,000 square miles of oil shale in the Green River
formation...
Each acre holds 2 million barrels of oil its the most concentrated energy
source on earth, according to the Energy Department.
The federal government owns 80% of this oil-rich land.
In fact, the government placed protective legislation on this land in 1930,
forbidding anyone to touch it.
You see, the government always knew this land was saturated with oil but
getting it out has always been expensive.
Buying oil from foreign countries was always the cheaper bet. It has been for
the past 80 years.
Wisely, the government kept the land around for a rainy day, protecting it
with 1930s legislation.
Im sure youre aware of todays situation at the gas pump. Buying oil from
foreign countries has gotten out of hand. The price of oil is sky-high. Its
way too expensive to keep buying foreign oil. In other words, the rainy day
has finally arrived.
The timing couldnt be more perfect. Oil shale technologies have begun to
advance drastically.
Companies are coming up with ways to extract oil from the Green River
Formation very cheaply.
For example, one Utah-based company says it can extract the oil for as little
as $10 a barrel. In fact dozens of companies have stepped forward with similar
claims. With oil prices approaching $70 a barrel these are pretty significant
breakthroughs.
Thats all the government needed to hear.
On August 8, 2005, President Bush signed into law, a mandate lifting the
protective legislation on the Green River Formation.
This mandate is called The Energy Policy Act of 2005. It calls for the
opening phases of oil extraction in the Green River Formation the worlds
most concentrated energy source.
Were finally ready to tap the largest oil reserve on the planet...
