BISMARCK, N.D. (North Dakota Monitor) – A North Dakota utility regulator says a railroad overpass should get built on a key road before construction begins on a multi-billion dollar natural gas processing facility. 

“I don’t know if it’s within our jurisdiction or even whether it’s fair and reasonable to require something like that,” Randy Christmann, chair of the Public Service Commission, said during a work session last week. 

Christmann cited a letter from the head of the North Dakota Department of Transportation that said the DOT has been trying for three years to get a federal grant to build an overpass at Marley Crossing on North Dakota Highway 1804.

The North Dakota Industrial Commission voted unanimously Wednesday to select a candidate who made his career in the oil and gas industry to be the state’s top oil regulator.

Nathan Anderson is slated to take over as Department of Mineral Resources director on Sept. 16, an announcement from the Industrial Commission indicated.

The Minot native works for Chevron and owns a company called 3B Investments. He holds a bachelor’s degree in geology from North Dakota State University.

In his interview with the Industrial Commission, Anderson expressed a commitment to keeping North Dakota a competitive energy state.

“One hundred percent, North Dakota will have a seat at the energy table — and a front row seat at that,” Anderson said at the July 30 meeting.

- The Re-Stimulation timeline of O&G wells defines its evolution in the Williston Basin.
- The different types of Re-Stimulations bring different tiers of associated challenges, investments, and rewards.
