See comments below. Apparently Cudd has been in Williston for over a year, but not yet fracking.
I spoke with a man who was pretty high up in the food chain of one of the local operators; he mentioned he cannot keep up with all the companies coming into Williston. That made me feel much better.
Here are a couple of photos regarding Cudd in Williston:
The blue pipeline is water pipe for the new Western Area Water Supply (WAWS) project. This was a shovel-ready job. I believe it was approved by the North Dakota state legislature in the winter/spring of 2011, and was already being laid by the summer, 2011.

Tonight, I noticed a sign west of Williston (about a mile west of Williston) that said: Future Home of Cudd.
And this is why I love the blog. I had no idea what was going on in the oil patch; I did not understand fracking; I did not know the NDIC web page was there; etc., etc.
ReplyDeleteI started the blog simply to educate myself and others, and the things I learn never quit.
I have seen the Cudd sign for several months -- I can't remember when I first saw it -- never thought to ask what it did.
But for some reason I checked my Top Ten fracking list, saw Cudd and remembered the sign when I took my 13-mile walk west of Williston to snap some photos.
Thank you for taking time to comment. After seeing what I saw last night, I think this thing (the Bakken development) is bigger than I ever imagined. More on that later, perhaps.
CUDD has been in Williston for nearly a year. (even thought the sign still says "future home of" i think) They are not fracking in ND, only acidizing at this time.
