America's Backbone - Keene, ND
The last time we met, Mr. Johnnie Welborn Jr. pushed for me to post more non-railroad related items to my Flickr page. Slowly but surely, you are going to get your way Johnnie.
Emblazoned in the colors of our nation, a pair of XTO Energy oil wells pound away in the mid-day sun just north of Keene, ND. Delegated as "The Sweet Spot" during the oil boom, the area along the ND 23 corridor between Keene and Hawkeye North Dakota has, and continues to, produce some of the highest quality bakken sweet crude in the region. One of the highlights this oil brings is its high purity and need for little refining to achieve a finished product. This has left companies like Hess, XTO Energy, Oasis Petroleum, and Continental Resources to scatter wells sites and oil pads en-mass around this area. Despite the ongoing oil slowdown, production in this area remains high, with few well shutdowns.
