MDU's Dickinson Refinery Down For Repairs -- November 19, 2015;

The Bismarck Tribune is reporting that the Dickinson refinery is "down" for repairs:

North Dakota’s newest refinery is down for repairs after trouble with the unit that produces hydrogen.

Dakota Prairie Refining, near Dickinson, which processes Bakken crude into diesel, has been down since Thursday and will be off line until sometime next week, says MDU Resources spokesman Rick Matteson.

The original project took longer than expected, came in over budget, and is now down for repairs, about six months after it came on line.

Thoughts?

"There are always issues with a new plant; it’s a normal part of the operation,” Matteson said.

Or as we all used to say in North Dakota: "Stuff happens."
