Touring The Oilfields

Jake Kubela and his wife, Dawn, were born and raised in North Dakota and have roots in western North Dakota. A former oilfield trucker, Jake Kubela has extensive knowledge of the landscape and workings of the Bakken oil patch.“What you hear and what it really is are two different things,” says Kubela. “There are so many preconceived notions about what the oilfields are like. People think it’s the wild west out there, they think that it’s just anarchy and that nothing is organized, but when you get them out there, very seldom is it what they thought it was.”Kubela and
