The Dickinson Press is reporting:
One of several native North Dakotans in leadership positions, Lagorin
is one of the faces of Tulsa-based Spartan Engineering, which recently
received recognition as the Rocky Mountain region’s Engineering Company
of the Year for 2012 at the Oil & Gas Awards. Among many other
projects, Lagorin said Spartan was the lead engineering firm for the
near $500 million Bakken NGL Pipeline, which transports natural gas
liquids from the Sidney, Mont., to Colorado.
Spartan is also
working in partnership with energy giant ONEOK on a pipeline that will
stretch from Oklahoma to Texas, Lagorin said.
This is how the story started:
Having grown up near Kenmare, Wayne Lagorin has always been a North Dakotan by heart.
From
drilling oil wells as a young man to later becoming the president of
one of the leading oil and gas industry engineering firms in the western
U.S., Lagorin has watched the transformation of his home state into an
energy powerhouse with keen interest.
“I’ve been following the
Bakken for a long time,” Lagorin said. “I read Leigh Price’s paper
detailing how many recoverable barrels he thought were there before
anyone was really talking about the Bakken. I’ve been talking about and
watching the Bakken for a long, long time.”
Forbes Magazine needs to pick up this story and run with it. Or maybe Oprah.
