 your ambulances, your volunteer party servants, and you'll see why as you go along. Okay, this is the Bakken. This is what the state industrial commission has got to map out. This is where Montreal County is located. And right now, the hot spot of the kitchen, as they like to call it, is down that partial. Montreal County is where we're going to. We have 1,600 miles of county juncture roads. We're about the 8th largest county in the state. Our population in 2000 was 6,631. And the 2010 population, they figured were probably maybe just over 70,000 people. That's by the official U.S. Census. So, I get news for you. They ain't anywhere close. Okay, one of the things, the state's a little, it takes time to get reports in. So, the rate count that I have is from the weekend in 1226. 197 rates drilling in the state of North Dakota. You'll notice that we're down in the world. We're down to 28 rates in Montreal County. McKenzie County and Jean and his people are dealing with a tremendous amount of activity. The thing that is amazing about this is each one of those wells, when you look at it, there's 2,000 truckloads. 2,000 semi-trucks have come to that spot and left that spot to be able to scrape it to ground, spud the well, drill the well, and start hauling the equipment when it's done. That does not include all the truck traffic you're going to see for hauling the oil onto the ground. And some of these wells in Montreal County are extremely productive. If they're not 1,200 barrels a day, they get kind of disappointed. The big companies that we have drilling in Montreal County is DLG, HES Corporation, YM oil. The fourth one you'll notice is a company called Brigham. Not that this is going to be a long-lasting player or anything, but the national Norwegian oil company, Stay Oil, has purchased Brigham's interest and bought out Brigham. So, one of the things it shows compared to some of the past oil cycles is there's a lot of longevity in this. The other issue that comes up is the success rate on the wells in the block and field. Is it right around 99%? 100%? If they can't get a well up for production, it's because they moved up either during the fracking or during some of the retruing. And so I've opened 31st in North Dakota, had just about 7,000 wells. Montreal County had 1,031 oil producing wells. Now, keep back in the back of your mind, that's 2,000 truck loads for every one of those wells. There's 74, what we call idle wells, they're waiting for fracking or they're waiting for a workover break. And then the next one, the 41 saw-water disposal wells. These are the ones you have to be kind of careful of because that is going to be increased truck activity all the time because this is where they dispose of the water that comes up when they do the oil and gas production. So as a county commissioner, township supervisor, that's where a lot of your road damage is going to come in because those trucks are always legal. To give you an idea of how rapidly things have changed, back in August 2007, the state of North Dakota was producing 3.8 million barrels of oil. In August 2011, it's 13 million, 13.8 million, that shows you how rapidly growth has gone. In Montreal County, back in 2007, we did 235,000 barrels. In August of 2011, we did 4.2 million. Now, we're only talking a span of four years that shows you how rapidly this thing has hit. And it's one of those things that we only would have known. The state would only have enough common sense to slow down the number of oil permits that they put out per month. Five percent of oil production tax, you'll hear about all the money that comes back to oil country. You want to let you know some inside stuff. The state collected 501 million dollars, 181 million that came from Montreal County, and the state allocated back to Montreal County 20 million dollars. Up that 20 million dollars, the city's got 3.5 million, because the cities you're going to have a lot of impact on your infrastructure and other things. Just about 10 million key back for our county general fund, and our commissioners have determined that any oil that comes back, 60 percent of it automatically goes to the Rope Bridge Fund to try to maintain the roads. The school's got 1.6 million, our other infrastructure got 5.2 million. That's 20 million out of the 501 million. That's one tax. This is a separate tax. This is a six and a half percent of oil extraction tax. And from the state, that 2008-2009 collected 184 million, 2010 it was 521 million. Collections in Montreal County, I kind of cheated on the last one. We really didn't do the 521 million. We did up 37 percent of that. So the other thing that you get for oil country is you get some money back for federal leases. In this case, we're running our left links pathway up. And you'll notice that amounts have gone down, but that's because some of the activities going down because the leases have been taken up. But the 20 million that the state got in 2011, Montreal County, the state kept half. Montreal County got 258,000 out of that. But you're getting the county that allocates mostly back to road work. In addition to this, in Montreal County, the state of North Dakota owns approximately 100,000 milliliters. So this is kind of a unique thing if you stop and think about it. They get 5.5 percent of the 5 percent tax, they get the 6.5 percent tax, and then they're the royalty owners. So they also get 100 percent of the royalty from that. There's a little bit of money going on in the state. Commissioner O'Rourke, Oshae referred to some of this. These are some of our rolls. If we go to grab a roll, and these numbers, by the way, are now out of figure or out of date because of the gravity situation we're running into, it costs $300,000 just to grab a roll of 100,000. $300,000 a mile to rebuild and grab a roll. If you wanted to repay, that figure's right around $1 million a mile. And just to plain grab it was $3,600. Now I want to thank the state because they did give us an extra $49 million to work on all the roads in Montreal County. And so we're doing some payment projects. And then a million dollars a mile, guess what? That's not a lot of payment. One of the other things that county commissioners will come to really love to hear, and that's called dust control. And some places on the east, they don't have a profit as a road to pay. We had actually dust control requests in January of this year because of all the trucks up and down the road. It creates such a haze that you have a difficult to see. Commissioner O'Rourke, Oshae referred to some of our roads and how they drive on them when they're wet. You can see the effects that this has on these roads. This is a regular travel township road. This isn't just a hurry trail. We had some snow issues last year. What little people we did have in Montreal County may start having laws. And so they would just keep driving on them. You can see the patch behind it. And finally this road is actually what we call our town on the south road where you can actually ground it down, ground the pavement off. Then here's a guy going down the road thinking, this isn't such a bad deal. We need to move this Earth Scraper. Doing wonders in the road too. This is something that all everybody needs to wear. Counting issues. You can't believe how greedy some people can get when they have an opportunity to make some extra money. I'm sure the gentleman in the tent there, it has to be a free camp ground by the city of Stanley. But otherwise you're going to be looking at something like a man camp. EOG has a man camp in North and East of Stanley. A 500 person man camp. Well run. They do an excellent job out there. The bigger man camps are actually a little bit easier to work with because of the professionalism of running the camps and being with them. So the size of the camps are these big ones that are run professionally but aren't too bad except you have a tremendous stream on your setting. There's all the sewage going. You have tremendous demand for water. You have demand for law enforcement services and emergency medical services. And this is, just to give you an example, Newtown, Stanley, Partial are the three largest cities in Montreal County. The next ten communities are all man camps. And then we have Federal Plaza and Ross. $160 a day. At least this one includes meals. These are on the west end of Stanley. Those are $2,000 a month. Two bags of litter in there. One on each end. You can sleep in your truck at Senex. And Senex doesn't charge anything for that. And then in fact, the nice thing about Senex is you can get a shower for $10 and then you can get all your fast food serves in there. If you go behind the Senex station in Stanley at night you'll probably see somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 trucks of people slipping back there. And this is our kind of nice, those that have the flatbeds, like the ones that were all on the bike, they'll actually have a tent up on top of their flatbed just to get out from out of the truck. Brand new apartment house building in Stanley. Two-bath room, two-bath, single-storey garage. Opened up in 1350. I mean, they're just about $1,800 a month now. Of course, that's UDPL utilities. This is across from high school in Stanley. We have the front one is $2,000 a month and the back one is $2,400 a month. The front one is two-bath room apartments. One-bath, back ones are two-bath room apartments, two-baths. All right. And no garage or apartment. This is what you need to watch out for. These are the man camps that pop up where some of that will take five or ten acres and start setting up so people can just kind of set up their campers. These are ones that cause a little more difficulty because these guys come and go, and they may leave in the middle of the night. Domestic violence calls go up. Shootings, reporting shootings go up. They're tough. Not that they try to pack them close together. Right into the stage you have 14 feet between trailers. As you can see, that's happening here. You're impacted in your schools. You got to keep this in mind because when these people come, there's a lot of them that like to bring their families. We got Stanley, Newtown, Marshall are experiencing things with the no-child left behind. English is a second language. We have a tremendous amount of Spanish-speaking students now because a lot of the pipeline companies that come up are coming out of Texas, and they're very happy to get into Hispanic help. Stanley, Marshall, and Newtown, school districts have their own houses. In Stanley, they just built two four boxes. Newtown, I believe, or Marshall right now has about six houses completed for their teachers, and Newtown has a number of families and a number of houses for their teachers. The reason that they're doing this is a teacher coming out of college to not for $2,000 a month in their way. These are some of the other issues that emergency services need to be aware of. There are some in Oregon and some in Seattle. Oil spills do happen. This particular oil spill, what happened is there was a pump malfunction and 300 barrels of crude oil leaked out onto the ground. And there's 42 gallons of the barrel. And it gives you an idea. They came in with the back trucks, vacuumed up as much as they could. Then we received permission from the health department to do an efficient wildlife. We were able to burn the oil because you'll notice we're in a wetland area, which is a nesting area. This is another one. You've got to be careful. There's a lot of good things that go on in the soil. But sometimes some of the subcontractors leave a little bit of desire. You'll see the backhoe up by the tanks. Well, it kind of made a little hole. And it kind of leaked out a little bit. And leaked into the guys' field. This is not water. But he told the farm that that's okay because petroleum products are actually used to fertilize them, so this will come back much cleaner. He used to say when I talked to the actual oil company, that this is what it is, they ended up cutting it and digging all this dirt out replacing the dirt. The infrastructure, being so appealing, is too. The infrastructure is unreal. City of Scamley, just finished a third sewer lagoon and they still can't take outside the dump. City of Partial still is able to take a little bit. City of Newtown completed a remodel there. There's still a few years back, so they're able to take something. But you don't think about it, but when you start throwing up a 500-unit van count, and there's toilets in there, that's bigger than all three of our communities in Scamley. Where is it going to go? Because these guys don't have a lagoon system. Just a little bit of traffic. This is actually kind of slow. It's kind of picked up since then. The wild and the wack, you're not going to believe what people will... Because you'll notice the bad conditions here, the sky is cloudy, the road is dry. But you're so intense, I'm using texting, calling the driver down the road, that he had a little bit of a problem. This one I kind of understand, that was a little icy. Here we go, we're back in the wild open again. I think they should ban cell phones for truck drivers. This guy, although he was talking on the phone, he didn't kind of tip it over. He did pretty good, if you know what I'm saying. He's only a little bit in the ditch. This is what I understand. We had some snow issues trying to get the roads. This is a production water truck that was tipped over. What happened is the driver of this truck was the second day on the job. He kind of pulled over on the gravel road to let another vehicle by, and he had kind of a false shoulder of snow. He rolled it, dumped 60 barrels of what's called production water. Salt water's got every oil company has their own special recipe for their drilling mud stuff. And that's going into a watershed area where the aquifers at 60 pieces these need to be looked out for. You notice this maintainer is kind of nice, it's not a county maintainer, by the way. The oil companies do try and help, but sometimes they're helping this with tool-out training. That's a power line going through there. You know, they need something on the surface because they just need to get some power somewhere. You can at least understand this one. There's ice on the road. This thing was actually kind of solid ice. You can kind of see where it came down and kind of spun out on backwards. And then this is the truck that can't be helpable. Right? This is right on a drill site where they put all the fluids while we're drilling. Well, this guy must have tried to drive through the pit. But that is a production water truck in the pit. Here and again, you know, those bad weather conditions will get in every time. Great, we refer to the number of employees. It's not only employees that we look at as for a county, it's also cost to be equipped. Then we've got from 7 blades to 14 blades one goes to one dust control truck. I believe they've just picked up another front-end builder. And they still can't keep up with all the work. Here is my closing slide. This is just an investment. One month point gets out of Montreal County. And believe me, Montreal County doesn't want all the money. It just would like, you know, a little bit of a share. But the state through all its total taxes gets $1.2 billion in collections. $432 million of that comes from Montreal County. $52 million comes back to Montreal County from the state. So Montreal County is roughly 34% of the state's total production. So if you do your return on investment, if I was a businessman, this is my kind of investment. Your return on investment is 1,363% from the state of North Dakota. So when you hear about all the money coming back to all the country, take it with a grain of salt. And what I'll do is I'll hold off on questions and I'll let Gene take over because a lot of the things that I've just gone through kind of impact what Gene's going to do.
