CNN’s Ling documents women seizing oil patch opportunities – TV show on Sunday

CNN’s Lisa Ling said when she came to Williston, she was prepared to be cat-called due to the influx of men working in the oilfields of western North Dakota.

But what the award-winning journalist and author found was more women than she had expected, seeking their own opportunities to cash in on the energy boom.

On Sunday, her eight-part series for CNN, "This is Life with Lisa Ling," will feature the Oil Patch city in an episode titled "Filthy Rich," in which she explores how "women pioneers" are leveraging their skills to compete for oilfield jobs or to work in the booming food and hospitality industry.
