Bakken Directory Winter 2015: Univar opens new oil & gas facility in North Dakota

Univar Inc., a leading global chemical distributor of industrial and specialty chemicals and related chemistry services, held a grand opening ceremony June 30 for a new, permanent facility in Dickinson, North Dakota, to support its oil and gas business in the Williston Basin. The ribbon cutting ceremony at the new facility featured remarks by U.S. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp; Chris Oversby, Univar’s president of oil and gas and mining; and Dickinson City Commissioner Carson Steiner.

Univar’s new 5-acre facility features two warehouses, one 15,000-square-foot facility for general storage and a second, 3,000-square-foot warehouse rated for indoor flammable storage. The facility also includes a truck base and a tank farm. This is Univar’s second facility in the Williston Basin. The first, in Williston, was opened in 2011 to serve the north side of the basin.

“We are thrilled to be opening our second permanent facility in the area,” said Oversby. “We look forward to bringing new capabilities to our customers in this region, providing technical support and efficiencies directly to the wellsites.”

The permanent facility significantly increases Univar’s footprint and capabilities in the region enabling the company to deliver essential chemistries to wellsites on time. The opening of the Dickinson facility brings the number of Univar’s dedicated oil, gas and mining facilities in the United States to 25.
