Hundreds of more units among at least four new "man-camps" will be opening this next week to provide housing for oil workers in western North Dakota. A fifth one was previous announced.
Maybe someone else can do a better job of keeping track, but by my count, this Williston Herald story reports on five "man-camps": three near Williston; one near Tioga; and, one near Stanley, all in North Dakota. Three of them are Target Logistics (Williston, Tioga and Stanley). A fourth is operated by ATCO, recently opened near Williston, and a fifth is operated by Halliburton (Williston).
Someone was nice enough to provide in the comment section below all the man-camps and their locations in and around Williston. It is quite remarkable to say the least.
Some may recall that Halliburton announced earlier this year that it would be going to 24/7 fracking operations (around the clock).
Note: this link references a possible man-camp near South Heart.
Update: human interest story on a typical man-camp. Posted December 16, 2010.
