Holy Mackerel -- It Never Quits -- Keeping North Dakota Great -- New Gas Processing Plant Planned For McKenzie County -- January 25, 2018

Link here at The Bismarck Tribune. Data points:
  • Hess Midstream Partners
  • $150 million natural gas processing plant
  • partner: Targa Resources Corp
  • name: Little Missouri Four plan
  • capacity: 200 million cf/d
  • location: near Targa's existing facility south of the Missouri River near Watford City
  • completion date: by the end of this year
  • natural gas production in ND set a record in November, 2017: 2.1 billion cubic feet/day
  • flaring: still at 14%
  • one of four natural gas processing plants in the planning or construction stages in North Dakota
  • the four projects would add an additional 615 million cubic feet per day of additional processing capacity
  • ONEOK: to expand it Bear Creek natural gas processing plant north of Killdeer; will expand from a capacity of 80 million to 175 million cubic feet per day
  • Crestwood Equity Partners: expand the Arrow Bear Den gas processing plant near Watford City, adding another 120 million cfpd
  • Oasis Wild Basin processing plant it expanding to process 345 million cfpd in McKenzie CountyN
Note: if that is not an error in reporting, it seems that the Oasis expansion to 345 million cfpd is a huge addition; prior it was 80 at Plant 1; and 150 at Plant 2.
Note: it looks like a race among Hess, ONEOK and, Oasis to see who will have bragging rights to most natural gas processing capacity in the state.
Note: for newbies, this is a huge, huge story. The Bakken is an "oily" story, an "oily" play; no one expected this much natural gas activity back in 2007.

Disclaimer: the table below is not entirely accurate. Much of the data in 2018 is projected for 2018 and later years; some of the numbers in 2018 are based on "plans" by operators, not necessarily what will be accomplished by year end. The NDIC has the official data.

Book Recommendation

If one wants to know more about the development of the US movie industry, I strongly recommend The Man Who Made the Movies: The Meteoric Rise and Tragic Fall of William Fox, Vanda Krefft, c. 2017. Fascinating book, extremely well-written, and incredibly detailed without being ponderous.

I have barely started it -- I have completed the first 128 pages of this 755-page book with an 150 pages of notes, bibliography, and index.

I am taking notes as I read the book and putting those notes at this site.
