WILLISTON, ND - Any thoughts that the pace in the Bakken oil patch has slowed down over the past few years, can be eliminated.
"We're breaking records everyday," noted Tom Rolfstad, Executive Director of Williston Economic Development.
"They're growing houses, like they grow wheat on the plains," said Rick Leuthold, Chairman of Sanderson Stewart, a regional development company that has been involved in helping Williston deal with the impacts of a seemingly endless oil boom.
With North Dakota on the threshold of surpassing the one million barrel-a-day threshold in oil production, sights are already focused on two million barrels a day.
There are now more than 10,000 producing oil wells "Rockin the Bakken" in North Dakota, and experts say before it's all said and done, there will likely be more than 50-thousand producing wells.Go to linked site for more and for video.
