Some Random Photos of Oil Activity West of Bowman, ND (USA)

Random photos of oil activity west of Bowman, North Dakota; area surrounding Marmarth.

These are all Red River wells, and they are fairly old, going back to the mid-1990's.

Yes, here's a 13-turbine windmill farm in the area, providing electricity at 5 to 8 times the cost of electricity produced with coal or natural gas. Whatever. It's an 18.5 megawatt farm owned by MDU; that's enough energy to power about 5,000 homes. Construction began in late 2009. For more on this wind farm, click here.

My biggest regret: not taking a photograph of the restaurant in Bowman (on southeast side of town; on north side of highway 85/12, if I remember correctly): best hamburgers I have ever tasted, cooked to order.
