SiouxVolley Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 The Herald is asking Petroleum Engineers if train loads of Bakken oil are safe with the new standards. Petroleum Engineers can't answer that question, because its in the realm of physical chemistry. Chemical engineers and physical chemists are the ones to ask. Its like asking a Dr about the afterlife, when they should be inquiring to pastors or theologians. I think the Nat gas constituents concentrations in Bakken oil, like methane, ethane, and propane, should be reduced further, but such a setup is expensive, especially when it will only be used for a couple years before pipelines take over. Each loading platform would need a mini-refinery to strip the gases and recover them. The oil and transportation companies do not want to add expenses now when pipeline solutions are just down the road. If Minnesota would just have an urgency to allow pipelines to cross the state, Dayton and their Senators would have a right to bitch. If I owned an oil company, I would insist that the Bakken oil be stabilized for safety reason, but the railroad companies, especially Buffett's BNSF, call the shots.

SiouxVolley Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I think the Smithsonian station is going to soon run a documentary called Boomtowners. Have the DVR set to record...hoping it is interesting.

SiouxVolley Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 My guess is that the polyethylene plant will be built in Jamestown. The state authorized a water pipeline from the Missouri for the CHS ammonia plant. The polyethylene plant could be built next door, saving on facilities like steam plants and effluent treatment. If the plastic plant gets built near Jamestown, somewhere like Linton could benefit too, as a ethane separation plant needs to be built too and then piped to Jamestown. A OneOk Nat gas pipeline runs near Linton, and the gas is approaching the limit for ethane, so something has to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamestown is really lacking the workforce and housing necessary to staff another large employer. Hopefully they can figure something out.

SiouxVolley Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Jamestown is really lacking the workforce and housing necessary to staff another large employer. Hopefully they can figure something out. The construction workforce for the ammonia plant can transition into construction for the plastic plant. Both plants benefit in costs and in capital. Jamestown could be 10 k or more larger longterm, but the huge construction manpower would be nearly steady for three or four years. Some mancamps from out west can move there. The state wants to shift growth east between the RRV and the Missouri/Souris, as that part hasn't any growth to speak of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprig Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Not oil, but who among you public companly investors can tell me who this is: Uranium Exploration, Inc. They issued shares in 1953, but can't find what became of them. Now a different company, still with value? Or a defunct company with worthless shares?

Take it to a broker and have them do a search on it. In 1953 there was a uranium stock boom, as wild ideas like nuclear powered airplanes were in fashion. The uranium industry has gone through many cycles since then, but went downhill again after Fukushima. You never know though, as it might be part of the Kazahkstan uranium buyout that Hilary and Bill profited from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sioux rube Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Sounds like every place in North Dakota. For sure but it has really gotten bad here the last 6-12 months. Along with Menards there are 3 new hotels, a strip mall, and talk of a BWW and a Culvers. Nothing like out west but for here I have never seen anything like it.

I have a relative in Jamestown who clued me in on what's happening. A lot of folks from the western part of the state that would have retired in Bismarck or Minot in the past have decided to move to Jamestown instead (cause: oil). That's triggered this growth spurt. Call it a secondary effect of the Bakken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
