Oil Strike In Suburban Backyard

An Indiana man is capitalizing on high crude oil prices with his own oil well -- in his back yard.

Hey....he don't have to pay for gas anymore...is he going to sale his gas cheap?

[Mark JM]

He's have to build a refinery for his gas, but at today's prices, that's worth it too. I say he's pretty much set.

Lucky.......

Well, let me see - if HE found OIL in Indiana,(My mother and father in-law live in Indiana, maybe we'll go drill in their backyard - "TEXAS TEA" - from an old TV show)---- I bet our country's leaders could find it in other areas too - like Texas oil fields that were shut down in the 80's and people lost everything. JUST THINK ABOUT IT. This guy is a very "enterprising" person - HE ACTUALLY THINKS. Maybe he should think about running for congress himself - or think HIGHER - it's gonna take an average american citizen to get us out of this trouble.

You "GO FOR IT BOY"!!!!! "Grandma"

he's lucky he's not here in Maryland - he would have been fined for the cleanup by the local enviromental "protection" agency, and any and all future oil would certainly be confiscated. The fines/legal expenses would certainly be severe enough to necessitate selling his property.

I am one of the partners that invested in this Backyard oil well. We had drilled a well on the property next door and hit oil so we decided to drill that well next. The spot was drilled in the back yard but his home sits on 10 acres. There is about 7 of us that own this well. For more information go to www.youngoilcompany.com
