They're not projecting that the boom will reach that far north.

It's that in the 1980's big oil intentionally stopped producing here because they made more profits on imported oil. Big Oil stopped production here, intentionally, putting oil field workers out of work. They said They wouldn't start producing here again until their profits on domestic oil were as high as profits on imported oil. -Put a Big Oil president in the White House and see how long that takes. Not to mention increased demand in China. Oil companies knew exactly what they were doing when they started shutting down refineries and capping wells. Great, moneymaking business decision for them and their shareholders - terrible for working class American consumers.
There was a big oil boom in the late 1970's due to oil spiking up to around $90 a barrel. After that, it spent close to 2 decades at 20-30 per barrel which is why you saw all the production being shut down since you were losing money at that price. This is why there were so many mergers and bankruptcies of oil companies during that time period.

It's the same reasons that you are seeing old shuttered gold mines being opened back up again.

What's confusing is that you blame them for going after cheaper oil and putting workers out of work but then a couple sentences later you blame them for hurting american consumers.

Now, the oil companies are putting lots of people back to work because high oil prices are making it feasible....but that means prices for the US consumers are higher too.

It's not really much of a "boom" in Kansas. Don't expect it to come close to paying what you see in North Dakota or Texas...

I'm not entirely sure what that question is asking...

Do you mean do any of us own land that we'd like to lease out?
We've been approached by JFred Hambright to lease (probably for Murfin), but he's pretty low...
