Business Wire
Praxair, Inc. (NYSE:PX) today announced it has started up a new
packaged gas fill plant in Bismarck, North Dakota, significantly
increasing its cylinder gases capacity in the Bakken shale oil
formation region. This automated facility has been designed to
quickly and efficiently fill packaged gases, from single cylinders
and packs to liquid vessels and tube trailers. The plant
complements Praxair’s network of branch locations providing safety
and welding-related supplies, consumables and equipment.
Praxair’s facility offers a variety of industrial and specialty
gases, including oxygen, nitrogen, argon and carbon dioxide, as
well as ultra high purity gases and blends, further serving oil and
gas and oilfield services companies operating in the region.
“Our plant, designed by Praxair to specifically serve customers
in this region, has reduced turnaround times and improved our
efficiency, nearly doubling our previous fill capabilities,” said
Robert Crew, general manager, Praxair. “This facility, together
with our branch locations, helps us more effectively serve the
growing needs of regional businesses.”
The Bakken shale oil formation is located in Western North
Dakota and Eastern Montana, as well as the Canadian provinces of
Saskatchewan and Manitoba. According to the United States Energy
Information Administration, estimated crude oil production in the
Bakken region of North Dakota and Montana shows total wellhead
output of over one million barrels of oil per day, which would rank
North Dakota second only to Texas in oil production.
