Now, back to the other big stories of the past week:
If this project is as far along as the article suggests, this was clearly the biggest North Dakota story posted this past week -- technically it was almost two weeks ago but I didn't get it posted until this past week -- whatever -- as I was saying, if this project is this far along, that they are ready to break ground on a second refinery in North Dakota, this is a huge story, especially considering everything else going on. Remember: a recent RBN Energy story suggests operators are paying $6.50/bbl to ship their oil by railroad to St James, Louisiana -- think of the cost benefits of refining this oil here in the state.
The Oil & Gas Journal has a great twitter post: North Dakota remains in 2nd position among US states in crude oil production.
Internationally, the stories coming out of Norway regarding its deteriorating oil and gas industry were noteworthy.
