Focus on oil boom effects on SD

Representatives from several industries are going to be on hand in Spearfish, South Dakota, May 2-3 to learn about the effects of the North Dakota oil boom on people and businesses in South Dakota.

The Black Hills Bakken Conference will feature discussions on infrastructure planning, landowner issues and how businesses can best benefit from the boom that is moving south. It will be held at the Spearfish Holiday Inn Convention Center.

North Dakota Petroleum Council President Ron Ness says at least one North Dakota drilling operator is starting to drill in South Dakota to save on costs. Sturgis businessman Branden Bestgen is organizing the conference. He wants to see a bigger push in South Dakota to get in on oil opportunities.
