Things r getting tough in the east too. Mpls contractors r slow and trying to find work in little msp. Interesting article. Note with the obum policy the foreclosures will drag out for years

The biggest thing I see in Williston is a lot of the restaurants and stores still have boom time prices. Rent is coming down there is lots of open apartments. They need to close all the man camps they are no longer serving there purpuse. The really don't help the community the food is supplied so the people staying there don't buy local everyone that works there stays and eats there. There is some growth happening with the oil prices higher but few of the workers that got laid of want to come back.

But....This one was supposed to be different. "There's no bust where this one's headed". "Find the good life". ummmmmmm. Now what?

It's funny, because everyone knew the busts happen faster than the booms, and everyone resisted building up the infrastructure in the beginning, fearing they would be the one left holding the bag when the inevitable occurred. I sort of laughed on the day I moved out in 2015, seeing menards and all the new restaurants ready to open. Just a little too late to the party.

Too bad governor lazy ass gets to sneak out of office without having to answer for the destruction he allowed. Hopefully we all learned our lesson and next time we'll actually have a plan in place. Maybe make sure the highways and schools can handle the flood of out of state, barely bonded to cover a car accident, contractors and riffraff.

And maybe we can have leaders at the local level be leaders and demand better and do the right thing instead of using the local good ol boys network to line pockets and do stuff half assed all the time. Enjoy this quiet spell, wait a couple years when all this lack of drilling bites us in the ass and we are above 100.00 and it is balls to the wall again

Couple years?? One could only hope for that. I think much longer. Hope I am wrong

An uptick in demand, a tropical sysytem or 2 in the gulf, any number of things will result in a spike; lack of new drilling planned and no new big projects in planning stages and we go up pretty quick. EIA says we use 19.4 million barrel of oil a day in the U.S. We have 541 million barrels on hand; 27.89 days of inventory, not my idea of a glut unless I am making a ton on going short and that is how I spin it. Maybe 2 years is to soon, but at some point in the not to distant future, oil soars. Maybe we should buying all we can now and storing it. Oh yeah, forgot for a sec about our Dear Leader.
