Wow, That's A Surprise -- Active Rigs Jump To 40! -- November 29, 2016

DAPL: I-94 closed from Mandan to Dickinson. Snowfall accumulation from winter storm Blanche so far: Bismarck: 12.5"; Minot: 12"; Dickinson: 11"; and, Williston, 6".

Williston's new -- its second -- $6.3 million fire station dedicated Monday. Wow! When I was growing up in Williston we had a volunteer fire department, and that was it.

Speaking Of Rigs

Zeits at SeekingAlpha:
  • Schlumberger has deployed two prototypes of its “rig of the future” in the U.S. market
  • As many as five prototypes may be working in the U.S. and internationally by year-end
  • “Rig of the future” is a strategic initiative for Schlumberger and over time may become a disruptive service offering creating a serious competitive threat to the established drilling contractors
But it's a must-see photograph at the link.
