N.D. (AP) – Officials are breaking ground this week for a diesel refinery in western North Dakota, which would be only the second in the entire state.

Bismarck-based MDU Resources Group Incorporated and Indianapolis-based Calumet Specialty Products Partners are building the Dakota Prairie Refinery west of Dickinson. Officials have said it could cost up to $300 million.

The facility will process crude from the rich Bakken and Three Forks formations in western North Dakota, helping meet an unprecedented need for diesel fuel in the booming oil patch.
