Later: 1:30 pm: From another reader: "Dickinson is open for about 2 weeks now, must be 150 cars or more in the parking lot. impressive looking building with all blue glass front." We'll probably see "grand opening" story soon.
Later, 1:10 pm: A reader sent this in as a comment: "Williston complex is close but it is not open. Workers everywhere on the grounds today. I don't believe that Dicksinson or Minot super centers are officially open either. Baker has had a huge presence in the area long before they were building super centers."
Yes, you are correct. I grew up with Baker Hughes outside my window. [Wow, I never worked for an oil company growing up, but the industry has certainly been part of my life, one way or the other. I did have one college summer job with MDU. It was an outstanding experience.]
And, I would expect we will see huge "Grand Opening" stories in the Dickinson Press, Williston Herald, and Minot Daily News when they do open.
Original Post
Elsewhere it is being reported that the Dickinson Baker Hughes mega-complex is open. If so, I assume the one in Williston is also open, and there are suggestions that the one in Minot is open.It is also being reported that Halliburton is building a new complex north of the new BHI mega-complex in Dickinson.
I read in the Dickinson paper that Halliburton is building a facility north of Baker Hughes facility.
ReplyDeleteIt would make sense that the Dickinson and Minot Baker Hughes facilities are open already, but probably because of the size of the facilities.
It appears the Williston [Baker Hughes] facility is quite a bit larger than the Dickinson or Minot facilities. I'm guessing the WIlliston facility is more of a regional office rather than a branch or district office? The Williston facility is huge, and the office building is a very nice 2-story office building with lots of glass. Almost has a retro 50's look to it.
Too bad it was built so far off the main highway of 2&85. No one will see this facility unless they go about mile north of the Lindsey street light.
Wow, you are so correct. I was so disappointed to see this huge beautiful building so far off the highway. It would have been stunning for tourists passing through this area to have seen it.
