I keep forgetting about Dore, North Dakota. I have posted notes about Dore a couple times and now it pops up again.
In my quest to learn more about proppants, "anonymous" sent me a link to Pioneer Oil LLC which has its own supply link to China for proppants. That will take you to my stand-along post; this will take you to Pioneer Oil/Proppant. When you get there, note where Pioneer has a proppant storage facility. You guessed it: Dore, North Dakota.
I drove through Dore this evening and did not realized it. Dore is on state highway 58 between Trenton, North Dakota, and Fairview, Montana. But there is no sign of Dore. Nothing. But, wow, was there a long line of oil tanker cars. Yup, Dore is also home to a crude-by-rail loading facility.
Someone last week accused me of being in a time warp when I mentioned that the stock market had gone below 11,000 -- and said that was the first time in "quite some time" that the market had dropped below 11,000. "Anonymous" pointed out that it was less than 30 days ago, and not all that long ago. I replied that things are happening so fast in the Bakken, it often feels like a time warp.
Indeed, the Williams County Commission has just announced a 6-month moratorium on man-camps, just to catch so the members can catch their breath.
Who would have ever guessed that Dore would rise again?
