Two-Part Series on Water, Fracking and The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Link here to the first of a two-part article on water and fracking at The Williston Herald. [Update: If unable to access it, not missing much -- posted October 28, 2017.]

• drilling is occurring twice as fast as fracking
• most of the road impact is due to water-fracking-trucks.
• fracking can be accomplished in 48 hours -- once set up.

I did not read the article closely, and haven't seen the second article in the two-part series.

For newbies, there is not a shortage of water in the Bakken. There may be distribution problems, access issues, challenges with transportation of water, etc., but there is plenty of water in the Bakken oil patch for fracking.
