It's no secret that the oil industry is central to North Dakota's economy. Still, it's surprising even for in-the-know citizens to look back at the remarkable growth of that industry over the last couple of decades. The North Dakota Petroleum Council routinely commissions studies into the economic impact of their industry, and the findings are eye-popping. The first study was conducted in 2005. "At that time, the oil and gas industry, we were producing 92,000 barrels of oil a day. We had 3,300 mostly tired oil wells from non-Bakken formations. We employed about 5,000 people," NDPC President Ron Ness said on this episode of Plain Talk. "Today we are a three $3.2 billion industry." "We employ 63,000 people," he continued. "We produce 1.2 million barrels of oil a day. "It's as you said, the rise has just been incredible." But what about the future? Ness says there are opportunities to find new avenues for growth that North Dakota must seize lest oil production and its attendant boons in terms of economic impacts and tax revenues ebb. "With the best technology in all the world focused on this resource, out of every 100 barrels of oil, we're still leaving 85 in the ground," he said. "If we can get another 15%, that's a doubling of the ultimate recovery, and it will add generations and generational wealth and opportunities for future North Dotans. Without that, we're going to we're going to deplete this resource." How do we seize this opportunity? "We're going to need massive amounts of CO2," Ness said, pointing out that the NDPC, along with partners at North Dakota's universities, have been pursuing enhanced oil recovery methods using carbon dioxide. "We've been studying enhanced oil recovery through the use of carbon dioxide since 20 3 with the [University of North Dakota Energy and Environment Research Center]," Ness said. "The uniqueness about carbon dioxide and what it does is it mobilizes new oil off the rock. You've got to keep that that pressure up in that reservoir. Natural gas will help that. It'll do some of that, but CO2, as proven by EERC in Bakken rock, will mobilize new oil." Also on this episode, Sen. Paul Thomas, a Republican from Velva, joined us to discuss the rural perspective on the property tax debate. One concern he has is that the focus of House Bill 1176, which was introduced by Rep. Mike Nathe and is supported by Gov. Kelly Armstrong, is exclusively on property tax relief for primary residences. Thomas argues that this could create a political unbalance that has the spending promoted by a majority of voters supported by a minority of farmers and business owners. "In many of the counties, agricultural land provides the majority of the tax base for that county," he said. "In certain communities, obviously if you go to you know Ward County or you go to Cass County with the larger cities, it's not going to be as high a percentage, but when you get out in the in the other rural counties, the agricultural land is providing a majority of the tax." HB1176 provides property $1,450 tax credits for primary residences. Thomas says he'd like to see that combined with House Bill 1168, sponsored by Rep. Scott Louser of Minot, which buys out school credits. The combo, Thomas argues, would deliver the direct and dramatic relief for homeowners that Gov. Armstrong has asked for while also delivering some relief to business owners and farmers. This episode is presented by North Dakotans for Public Schools.

On this week's America's Land Auctioneer radio show, Kevin Pifer is joined by Ron Ness, President of the North Dakota Petroleum Council. Ron discusses mineral rights and shares the importance of making sure you have a clear title. He also stresses the importance of knowing  exactly what you own and reestablishing ownership of the minerals every 20 years. To tune to hear more about how to retain ownership of minerals whether you are keeping or selling your land.  Ron Ness, President of the North Dakota Petroleum Council, talks about where the oil industry is today in production and where he sees it going in the future. In North Dakota alone, there are 17 counties that produce oil or natural gas. Ron and Kevin also discuss where oil is found in the Bakken petroleum system and how that impacts the oil field. Follow Kevin at www.americalandauctioneer.com and on Instagram & Facebook

When we talk about carbon dioxide, it's usually in the context of having too much of it. Which is to say, that we're putting too much carbon into our atmosphere though human activity. But according to Ron Ness, the president of the North Dakota Petroleum Council, who joined me and co-host Ben Hanson on Plain Talk today, our state's oil industry is going to need more carbon to keep itself sustainable into the future. The industry needs the carbon to inject down into oil wells for enhanced oil recovery. "It's absolutely critical," he told us. Ness's comments come at a time when there is a brawling political debate over carbon pipelines. The Summit Carbon Pipeline, specifically, has drawn a lot of attention, facing as it does outspoken opposition from a coalition of strange bed fellows, including left-wing environmentalists and right-wing populists. That project doesn't have anything to do with what Ness is talking about -- it's backed by the ethanol industry, aiming to bring carbon produced at ethanol plants to North Dakota for storage -- but he says his industry is watching it carefully. Because they're going to need carbon in the future, and pipelines are the best way to bring it here. Also on this episode, Ben and I discuss and analyze the possibility that Gov. Doug Burgum could join a second Trump administration in some official way. Maybe as a cabinet official? Maybe as Trump's running mate?

Maj. Fred Galvin (USMC – Ret.) is an innocent man! And all of America needs to know his story. After being put through the longest trial in marine corps history, he and his men were found not guilty of alleged war crimes against the Taliban – accusations brought against him by his own top brass leadership and the media during a presidential election cycle. As is seen with strict-liability absurd environmental crimes, or the persecution of citizens for exercising free speech or attending school board meetings, these true stories show the lawfare that the most courageous, patriotic Americans have been made to endure of late. Maj. Galvin tells his twelve-year saga and how he emerged triumphant against the top military leaders who unleashed 49 investigators to ruin the lives of the marines who fought their way out of a two-sided ambush. If you are facing an IRS audit or other adverse action, this story and Maj. Galvin's book are for you: A Few Bad Men: The True Story of U.S. Marines Ambushed in Afghanistan and Betrayed in America. This is a David and Goliath story that should encourage all Americans. Spoiler alert: Maj. Galvin reveals why he is confident that one of his former accusers will run for president in 2024. - - - - - Then, Ron Ness, Director of the North Dakota Petroleum Council and Director of Council for a Secure America, explains that the youngest generation is the most addicted to fossil fuels due to the incessant use of “devices” such as cell phones, PCs, and modern convenience. He suggests we begin an intergenerational dialogue, asking them: “What are you prepared to give up for climate change?” Translating aspirational talk into action could be instructive. - - - - - Jacki suggests that the way to get through to millennials and Gen Z with straight talk about climate change policy is to appeal to the need to save the 1.2 billion people who live in extreme poverty and poor health due to energy poverty; fossil fuels and nuclear energy saves lives, and the crisis is now – not in the distant future. Jacki reviews the energy poverty research of Lakshman Guruswamy in the Belmont Law Review.

Episode 8 - Talking Energy Show - Mike Cantrell - Author | Speaker | Oil and Energy Consultant | Owner of Pivotal Strategic Solutions Pivotal Strategic Solutions(405) 206-4444 mike@mikecantrell.net Government affairs consultantRegulatory compliance consultantPublic affairs consultantStrategy consultant Mike is an entrepreneur / consultant with demonstrated history of accomplishment in the oil & energy industry as well as the Political and Public Affairs space. Skilled in coalition building, solving difficult problems, and building oil and gas companies, Mike is a strong entrepreneurial professional with a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) focused in Psychology from East Central University. A 40 year industry veteran, Mike sees the oil and gas industry, at least in the conventional vertical well space, as offering the greatest return on investment in the American economy. Michael (Mike) Cantrell was born and raised in Oklahoma, where his family has strong ties to the oilfield. Cantrell's grandfather was a driller in the 1920's, eventually starting his own business in the 1950's, which Cantrell's father joined a few years later. In 1968, his father shifted into the production side of the business, where Cantrell gained hands-on experience in the field, accompanying his father in business from an early age. Cantrell attended East Central University in Ada, Oklahoma and graduated in 1972 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. While Cantrell was, and still is, keenly interested in psychology, he wanted a career in which he could work for himself and decided to continue on the family legacy in the petroleum industry. In 1975, Cantrell started Oklahoma Basic Economy Corporation, an Ada, Oklahoma based oil and gas exploration and production company specializing in enhancing production in more mature formations, serving as President until 2000. That year, Cantrell sold Oklahoma Basic Economy Corporation and a few months later, founded Cantrell Investments LLC, an oil and gas investment company, with assets primarily in Oklahoma., Texas and Kansas. Around that time, Cantrell decided to leave his longtime home in Oklahoma and relocated to Plano, Texas, just outside Dallas. A few short years later, in 2006, he moved back to Oklahoma. In 2009, Cantrell accepted a consulting position with Continental Resources, where he was an integral part of building the company's Government Relations Division, eventually serving as Vice President of Governmental and Regulatory Affairs. While at Continental, Cantrell maintained his oil and gas interests and upon leaving the company in March 2013, shifted his focus back to Cantrell Investments. As a longtime veteran, Cantrell notes that this industry is "an exciting place to work," crediting his dedicated employees - many of whom have been with him for years, if not decades - for their team's overall success. He also points out that it is an added benefit to have assets performing for you, and in turn generating profit, even while you sleep! Even though he has no shortage to choose from, Cantrell easily considers his greatest accomplishment to be raising two motivated children - both successful in their chosen fields - who he claims are even smarter than their dad. In fact, both his children have taken a page from their father's book in some way - his daughter is a political consultant and his son a fourth generation oilman. And though each have their own, independent companies, Cantrell has also worked closely over the years on joint ventures and projects with both his father and brother. In his free time, you will most likely find Cantrell on his Harley Davidson, whether he's traveling to the corners of the United States or just taking a quick ride. Cantrell is also very active in industry organizations, and serves on the Board of Directors of: Oklahoma Independent Petroleum Association, The Domestic Energy Producers Alliance, The Council for a Secure America, Citizens Bank of Ada, and is the Vice Chairman of Oklahomans for Lawsuit Reform. Additionally, Cantrell is the Chairman of the National Stripper Well Association, and is a longtime member of the Board of Directors for the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers. Cantrell adds that he has sincerely enjoyed working with the Alliance, saying, "I have never felt as effective in Washington D.C. as I did when accompanying Alliance leadership" to the U.S. Capitol earlier this year.

If the "red flag" law proposed by state Rep. Karla Rose Hanson (D-Fargo) is used against your gun rights, who pays for your lawyer? Also if such a wide open process can be used to deem people dangerous, and remove their gun rights, do we scare people (like veterans, for instance) from getting treatment for maladies like depression? Or PTSD? Also Ron Ness, president of the North Dakota Petroleum Council, joins to talk about his group's report showing the oil industry has paid about half of all North Dakota taxes over the last five fiscal years.
