Western North Dakota 1,100 to 2,700 wells/year = 2,000 expected 185 rigs = 22,000 temporary drilling jobs Another 13,000 temporary jobs building infrastructure 2,000-3,000 permanent jobs added each year 185 rigs will complete the first phase of drilling in 6-12 months 185 rigs will require about 20 years to complete phase 2 drilling 2,000 new wells per year requires 11-22 million gallons of frac water per day 40,000-45,000 new wells = 40,000-70,000 long term jobs 17-28 million gallons per day maintenance water
