Link here to Bismarck Tribune.

Data points:
  • 15 miles northwest of Williston
  • said to be near a natural gas processing plant that is also under construction (ONEOK's Stateline II facility? -- maybe a reader knows?)
  • 45 megawatts
  • to be in service by early 2013

  1. Drove out there last week. Directly west across the road from the ONEOK Stateline I facility (which is huge in itself) I believe they have also started or will be starting the ONEOK Stateline II facility as soon as they power up the Stateline I. Pretty impressive with all the cranes and tall tanks and pipes.

    1. Thank you very much for the update. Yes, the first time I "discovered" Stateline I, I had not idea what it was. It took a few posts and a few comments to sort it out. But it was very impressive, the number of cranes AND the number of workers that were on site building it.

      It looks like those same workers will simply move across the road to start building the second Stateline facility.

      Again, thank you for the update.
