You have an extremely vivid imagination. All of the shale oil goes to US refineries and it's value is contributed to the supply side of the world wide supply demand equation. As far as getting the easily obtainable oil, this formation was considered unobtainable just a few years ago. This oil is located in shale strata 8,000 to 10,000 feet under the ground. It is to the advantage of the oil companies to obtain all they can. ND oil country has no unemployment, McDonald's pays $15/hour with a sign on bonus, wages are very high, and property values are spiking. It was recently rated by the Wall Street Journal as the best run state in the US. CA came in 50th (only because that was as low as it went.) People are fleeing CA and going to ND. ND is beautiful and will remain so.
