Oh, right, and in SOUTHERN Canada.

Wouldn't that be the Texas section of Canada?

Hey, you guys wanted Texas enough to fight the Mexicans for it, you have
to keep it now. We don't need the Bush's thankyou very much. Besides,
you've gone and pumped most of the oil out of it.

Marty, yer full of wind as a corn-eating horse.

We still have oodles of all.
And we do not have to boil the sand out of it to get at it.

Most smart Texans capped thier wells in the 80's and ain't in no hurry
to open em up again. I spect when Texas tea reaches 300 bucks a 55
gallon drum they might put em back on line.


Could you perhaps cite a reliabe source for this statement, Texan's
capping wells that is, (Smart Texan is an oxymoron ;-)) Proven reserves
are less than half of what you had in the 1950s, your idea sounds like a
conspiricy theory, you don't wear a foil beanie do you?


I was there in the eighties, trying to sell them the separation and
treating equipment to produce those wells. When oil hit twelve bucks,
they couldn't produce a well at a profit if I gave them the equipment.
So they capped them. It was worse in Oklahoma, Kansas, and other
states that had wells pumping just a few barrels a day.

Are they still capped. If Joe says so.

It ran me out of the oil patch. But you know what they say about "oil
patch trash". You never quite get it out of your system.
