Three Stories on More Housing in the Heart of the Bakken -- North Dakota, USA

A new mobile home park inside Williston city limits.

A human interest story on opening of a previously announced man-camp near Williston operated by Target Logistics.

A human interest story on grand opening / open house for a previously announced man-camp near Stanley, North Dakota, operated by Target Logistics.  I can't link the story directly; one needs to search for it when you get to the linked site.

These stories are interesting because there are three choke points affecting production in the Bakken: a) manpower; b) fracking crews (a manpower issue, actually); and, c) takeaway capacity (two issues -- one is obvious; the second is not -- by North Dakota regulation, oil companies cannot maximize oil production if flaring exceeds a certain threshold. North Dakota may flare (on a percentage basis) more natural gas than any other area in the world -- I'm not sure about that, but one can look it up if interested).
