Amerad Hess Moving to Minot (Williston: contractors, military, vs.)

[kychlo]

Roloff1976,

Our company is looking to expand to Minot. We will not close our main office in Williston. We understand that Wiliston will always be in the middle of the basin and will continue to be the hub for the majority of companies.

[Roloff1976]

That is good to hear. This is good for Minot also.

Kychlo, When are you planning to open shop here in Minot? ct

[kychlo]

As soon as possible. We have some drivers from Minot over here training right now. Within the next few weeks we should be set to send them that way. The sooner we can find a home for them the better. I have forwarded the info you sent me to the owner and vp of the company. They will be heading over to Minot within the next few days.

Thanks for the help Magiccity.

Just read in the Sundays Williston Herald Williston Herald - Online Edition that HESS has announced their plans. Sounds like the they will move their ND regional headquarters to Minot, leave their Williston office as is, and build a major office complex in Tioga (where the gas plant exists). So sounds like Tioga will be the biggest gainer in the HESS move. Good for Tioga though, their gas plant is the reason why HESS exists in ND in the first place. It is nice to see the smaller towns benefiting from the oil industry.

In todays paper, Minot Daily News, there was a large article about Amerad Hess and what they are planning to do. Go the the website of Minot Daily news and check out the article. ct

I don't think Hess is planning on moving until 2009 and that is only if the drilling goes well Hess has not been doing real well with their drilling as compared to other companies. they just shut down in this area for the winter and layed off some of the contractors is what I was told don't know for sure

Interesting you say that. If you go into the www.nd.gov site (official state of nd web site)...and go into agencies by alpha... choose the Oil and Gas link...and Daily activity link...if you page through the activity, you do see where HESS has cancled a lot of their permits, etc... where others are still going strong. Maybe they are concentrating more on the HESS plant in Tioga (gas plant) as I heard they are planning a major expansion to the plant as well as building a large office complex next to the plant.??? According to the Minot and Williston papers, they will have a larger presence in Tioga than Minot or Williston.

A lot of oil company employees have been looking for housing in Minot. I have had some interest from people, however they did not give me their contact information.

I have a couple properties available; if anyone's interested in new housing in Minot, I'm giving the oil companie's employees a first shot at the houses. I want to make their move/transition to the Magic City as smooth & welcoming as possible.

Just shoot me a message & I can send details, etc. if you are interested.

Anyone out there looking to relocate to a nice small town, great small town school like sending your children to a private school only it is public. Riding to hearts content right from your driveway? Great jobs in the now famous
Bakken Oil Field that can bring you $1000/day to $3000~$5000 a month if you are a truck driver or laborer or can specialize in an oil field position. Other jobs like crazy 27 miles to Williston available. There is a shortage of workers for anything you can want here.
My farm is for sale $250,000. 3 bedroom, 3 bath, nice two story farm house with a yard to be proud of, master sweet with jacuuzi. Lots of corrals and set up to house at least 2 stallions, nice barn, garage/shop. Cost of living is affordable like no other area. Right by the Montana boarder. 3 hours from Canada. Tons of hunting here for trophy mule deer, white tail, even elk hunting, bird hunting. The best place for walleye fishing, paddle fish. Right by the Missouri River and Yellowstone River. Great riding in the badlands 30 minutes away as well as Theodore Roosevelt Park and famous Medora, ND an hour away. If you are itching for small town simplicity and wide open spaces here it is. Bring the horses and enjoy if you are looking for a change in life. This place is only on 3 acres but I manage nicely up to 15 horses here. Set up to handle it. Contact payden@ruggedwest.com
