big loop v. big oil.

This could be straight out of Wild Roses...

...the fight involves a group of six ranchers calling itself "the Big Loop Group" and includes two oilmen who happen to have active ranches in the region fighting energy giant Petro-Canada. The twist to all this is that Curtis Bartlett and Bruce Chernoff have dealt with similar issues as stewards of oil and gas companies over the years, but in this case have switched hats and are looking at the issues from an environmental perspective.
