A Belfield woman could soon see up to 400 hydraulic fracturing tanks on her property after Stark County Commissioners approved a conditional use permit during a meeting at the Stark County Courthouse, Tuesday morning. Located about three miles south and one mile west of Belfield, the permit application was filed by Missouri Basin Well Service, Inc., and Eugenia Deitz, the landowner. The permit was approved to park 400-barrel upright tanks, oilfield frac tanks, flat bed trailers, tanker trailers and other equipment, according to the application. “It’s 400-barrel tanks, but we’d never have that many,” said Dave Wanner of Missouri Basin. “It’s possible you could have, but odds are it’d be just a couple hundred frac tanks sitting on there, but they’re 400-barrel tanks ” The space would serve strictly as a storage site.Okay, I'm confused. Is it 400 tanks, or umpteen 400-barrel tanks? Either way, it's quite a story.

how many oil wells do you think you will drill on Eugenia Dietz land!
ReplyDeleteI know I won't drill any. I don't have a clue how many wells could be drilled under her land. I was just intrigued by the article.
