What does the Bakken mean for North Dakota

Upper Great Plains Transportation

• In 2010, the Oil and Gas Producing Counties Association commissioned The Upper Great Plains Institute to do a transportation infrastructure study.

• This study was chaired by Shane Goettle, of the North Dakota Commerce Commission.

Participants included:* Association of Oil & Gas Producing Counties * The ND Oil and Gas Commission * Department of Commerce * ND Department of Transportation* Oil & Gas Industry

Current Activity

The Upper Great Plains Study concluded that there are currently 5,200 active wells in North Dakota, and the North Dakota Oil and Gas Commission suggests that a total of 21,250 wells will be drilled in the next 10 to 20 years. The geological success of these well is 90% or greater.

Trucking

• 2024 truck loads are needed per well drilled thru completion including the frac job.

Trucks Wells Total Loads Per Year

3,036,000 / 365 days = 8,317 Truck loads per day

Or

273 billion lbs traveled on our state and county roads / day

Sand Requirements

• 3 million lbs of sand per well

• 1500 wells per year

• =4.5 billion lbs of sand per year

•Or

2,500 rail cars of sand per year

or 112,500 Truck loads of sand per year

Water (Fresh)

• 50,000 barrels of water per well

•1500 wells per year

• = 35 million barrels of water

•Or 625,000 Truck loads of water

Oil Transporation

• Approximately 200,000 barrels of oil being hauled per day

• Or 1,000 Truck loads of oil being hauled per day

Water (waste)

• Approximately 200,000 barrels of waste water being hauled per day

• Or 1,600 Truck loads of waste water being hauled per day

Truck Transportation Wrap-up

• As you can see truck transportation is vital to the oil and gas industry.

• There are over 10,000 trucks on the state and county road per day that are directly associated with the oil and gas industry

• The Upper Great Plains Study concluded that in the next 4 years the counties will need an additional 500 million dollars to bring their infrastructure up to a standard to able to support the oil and gas industry

Workforce

• There currently is an additional 30,000 employees in North Dakota that directly support the oil and gas industry, and with continued growth this number is only going to rise.

• At least half of these employees are in temporary housing.

• There are many challenges associated with this new growth:

• lack of workforce• lack of housing• social needs• school infrastructure• emergency services

City Infrastructure Needs

• Watford City as an example, has a population of 2,500 with 1,000 of them being in temporary housing.

What Does this Mean for North Dakota

• Projected Production from the Bakken estimated at 20 billion barrels of oil X $100/barrel = 2 trillion dollars

•That will generate 180 billion in tax revenue,• less 40 billion for state projects, leaves 140 billion

•divided by 600,000 residents is $233,000 per resident.

• This Does Not Come without Change/Impacts

• We Must Re-Invest in the Bakken

• Housing, Capital improvements, Schools

• Jobs in Many Sectors

• Tremendous Wealth Creation
