Mountrail County Joins Williams County: Moratorium on Man-Camps -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Link here.

Some data points:

• For newbies, the North Dakota Bakken is concentrated in four counties: Williams, Mountrail, McKenzie, and Dunn.
• Williams County announced a six-month moratorium on new man-camps starting this month (September, 2011). 
• Mountrail County announced an 18-month moratorium on new man-camps effective immediately (September, 2011). 
• The fracking backlog appears to be getting worse, not better.
• Most motels in Williston contract out the entire motel to a specific oil or oil service company. One of the few motels that still offered rooms on a reservation basis will now contract out the entire motel to an oil service company beginning November 1, 2011. 

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Chaos is self-organizing.
