- The implied mean near $2,882,833.26 is $412,245,156.45 divided by 143, not a typical award.

Agency 089 overlapping North Dakota
Department of Energy as awarding agency, North Dakota as place-of-performance: 143 records summing to $412,245,156.45. A Department of Energy award coded outside ND is out. An award in North Dakota from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. North Dakota (ND) excludes Minnesota, Montana, and South Dakota. A Fargo-coded award with a Minnesota place-of-performance tag is a different cell.
143 awards against $412,245,156.45 is a 143-award energy file, thicker than Kansas’s DOE join in this slice. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 143 as 143 unique oil-well counts, named plants, or pipeline miles. Department of Energy in North Dakota is the both-keys table. North Dakota federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Energy is the agency book without an ND filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
Fossil and grid program names are unpublished. Unique operators are unpublished. The awarding-agency code is 089. Correlation is not causation: North Dakota did not cause $412,245,156.45 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 089 × ND only.
Bakken folklore is not a USAspending field
$412,245,156.45 does not measure oil-well counts, named plants, or pipeline miles. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 089 and an ND place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 143 awards as a census of oil-well counts, named plants, or pipeline miles. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If North Dakota federal spending or Department of Energy matched $412,245,156.45 and 143, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state DOE joins are other pairs, not addends.
