On Tap For Wednesday; Whiting Has a Nice Red River Well; Oil and Gas Activity in Montana; Economic Development in Great Falls

From Rigzone today: musings on fracking.  Timing is interesting. Everyone knows. And a second article on same issue. Everyone knows.

RBN Energy: part IV in the series on natural gas pipelines; the Marcellus effect;

Active rigs: 185 (steady, down slightly)

Montana news:

Eight new wells permitted for the Bakken in Richland County, Montanta! Cool. Five are CLR; two are Slawson; and one is Kraken Operating.

Also, out of Montana, a huge fabrication complex in Great Falls:
ADF GROUP INC. announced on Monday that the Corporation’s Board of Directors approved an estimated US$24 million plan to build a new 100,000-square-foot structural steel fabrication complex on a 100-acres industrial site located in Great Falls, Montana.

Under its U.S. subsidiary banner, ADF International Inc., the Corporation will be operating by the second half of 2013 its new fabrication plant which will be equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, similar to those at its Terrebonne fabrication plant. The annual fabrication capacity of this new plant is estimated at more than 25,000 tons.

According to a story published Monday in the Great Falls Tribune, the plant will initially produce modules for the Alberta oil sands.
This begs the question: why is a Canadian company building a huge steel fabrication complex to support Canadian oil in the United States? That's a rhetorical question.

  1. Southwestern Energy:

    "The company has also drilled and completed a well in Sheridan County, Montana, targeting the Bakken/Three Forks objectives, which has been flowing back for approximately 60 days. The company is continuing to lease acreage and plans to permit and drill additional wells in the area in 2013."

    This is a serious successful gas driller.

    1. It's hard to believe, but I actually follow this company (very, very sporadically) on my "Other Producers" page. I had forgotten all about them.
