That's A Lot Of Oil

From the Minot Daily News:  North Dakota oil drillers continue to produce oil and natural gas at a record pace.
The Department of Mineral Resources says the state produced an average of 821,415 barrels per day in June. That's up from an average of 811,262 barrels daily in May.
North Dakota's oil patch had a record 9,071 producing wells in June, up from 8,932 wells in May.
North Dakota also produced a record 27.9 million cubic feet of natural gas in June. That's up from 27.7 million cubic feet produced in May.
North Dakota sweet crude was fetching $94.25 a barrel Thursday. That's up from about $86 in June.  http://www.minotdailynews.com/page/content.detail/id/577533/ND-posts-record-821K-barrels-of-oil-daily-in-June.html?nav=5010
And almost all, if not all, of this oil and gas is from private lands, pumped by private companies all with little federal government involvement.
If this oil was on
Federal land, none of this oil and gas would have been pumped under the Obama administration and if Hillary wins, from her administration as well.
These oil and gas wells have employed thousands and thousands of workers throughout the region- something Obama doesn't want to have happen on Federal land.
If you don't want thousands of people employed in good paying jobs in the oil fields, don't vote for Hillary in 2016.
