Update on ONEOK's Garden Creek, Stateline I and II Natural Gas Processing Plants -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

First, this link, the record well in northeastern McKenzie County, just across the river from Williston:

The Tarpon Federal 21-4H is a Whiting Petroleum operated well and had a 24-hour initial production (IP) rate of 7,009 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE), setting a new Williston Basin record for a Bakken well.  The Tarpon Federal produced 4,815 barrels of oil and 13,163 Mcf of natural gas on October 17, 2011 after being fracture stimulated with 30 stages.

13,163,000 cubit feet of natural gas translates roughly into  2,000 barrels of oil equivalent.

Elsewhere, a writer updates the progress of ONEOK's Garden Creek natural gas gathering and processing plant.

The location of the ONEOK's three new processing plants can be found at this map. It appears that the processing plant that I am taking photos of west of Williston is most likely Stateline #1. With one red triangle designating "Stateline I and II Plants," perhaps the two "Stateline" plants will be collocated.

According to the link above:

• the new well is being referred to as a "real torch"
• Garden Creek is about to go on-line
• Garden Creek is located about 12 miles directly south of the Tarpon well
• a new Bear Paw compressor station is just a couple of miles away from Garden Creek
• several other strong wells in this general area are producing significant amounts of wet gas after longer term production

One word: exciting.
