Fault Lines

Fault Lines investigates why North Dakota 's oil boom has seen the highest worker fatality rates in the US.
The United States is now the world' s largest oil and gas producer.
North Dakota is now producing more than a million barrels of oil a day . Ten years ago there were fewer than 200 oil -
producing wells in the Bakken .
Now there are more than 8,000 .
The rapid pace of development has made North Dakota the state with the lowest unemployment rate in the nation , but the
boom has brought with it a serious problem : It has the highest worker fatality rate in the nation.
Fault Lines spent six months investigating safety risks in North
Dakota 's oil fields and uncovered a dark side to the boom -
the human cost. Why are so many dying and who should be
held responsible ?
