Weatherford's Request To Consolidate Operations Approved -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Link here (regional links break early and break often).
The Williston City Commission voted to approve Weatherford's proposed zone change to build a facility near Stony Creek Elementary School during a special meeting Thursday evening.

The company is looking to construct an office building on 80-acres of a 160-acre parcel of land on 133rd Avenue Northwest near the school.
I just got back from looking at the BEXP complex about eight miles west of Williston. I believe it sits on 160 acres, also. It has a brand new beautiful building that maybe takes up an acre with parking, access, etc. The other 159 acres: man-camp, pipe storage, truck storage, oil gathering operations.

Something tells me Weathorford is putting a bit more than an office building on 80-acres of a 160-acre parcel of land. If not, that's a huge 80-acre office building.
