Coolest Story Of The Day -- Great Story On One North Dakotan's Success In His Home State -- This Is Really A Great Read -- A Big "Thank You" To Brian

The Dickinson Press is reporting:
One of several native North Dakotans in leadership positions, Lagorin is one of the faces of Tulsa-based Spartan Engineering, which recently received recognition as the Rocky Mountain region’s Engineering Company of the Year for 2012 at the Oil & Gas Awards. Among many other projects, Lagorin said Spartan was the lead engineering firm for the near $500 million Bakken NGL Pipeline, which transports natural gas liquids from the Sidney, Mont., to Colorado.
Spartan is also working in partnership with energy giant ONEOK on a pipeline that will stretch from Oklahoma to Texas, Lagorin said.
This is how the story started:
Having grown up near Kenmare, Wayne Lagorin has always been a North Dakotan by heart.
From drilling oil wells as a young man to later becoming the president of one of the leading oil and gas industry engineering firms in the western U.S., Lagorin has watched the transformation of his home state into an energy powerhouse with keen interest.
“I’ve been following the Bakken for a long time,” Lagorin said. “I read Leigh Price’s paper detailing how many recoverable barrels he thought were there before anyone was really talking about the Bakken. I’ve been talking about and watching the Bakken for a long, long time.”
Forbes Magazine needs to pick up this story and run with it. Or maybe Oprah.
