FAQ's
In general, oil trucks are used for short-haul gathering transportation from producing wells to a pipeline or rail unloading facility. The increased presence of shorter, intrastate pipelines does have the positive effect of reducing longer, more expensive truck hauls and frees up the trucking fleet to service the growing number of producing wells. In short, trucking has always and will always play an vital role in North Dakota’s oil development and transportation. For more information on pipelines, check out "Pipelines 101" on the North Dakota Pipeline Authority website.
The amount of damages may be determined by any formula mutually agreeable between the surface owner and the mineral developer, taking into consideration such factors as loss of agricultural production and lost land value caused by the drilling operations.

The distance into the formation a fracture stimulation extends depends on the mechanical properties of the rock as well as the rate, pressure, and physical properties of the fracturing fluid. The typical current Bakken fracture stimulation creates cracks that may be as long as 1,000-1,200 feet.
