Department of Energy federal obligations in North Dakota

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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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Fossil and grid program names are unpublished. Unique operators are unpublished.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.

North Dakota, not a Bakken-only map

Place of performance ND is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. North Dakota (ND) excludes Minnesota, Montana, and South Dakota. A Fargo-coded award with a Minnesota place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $412,245,156.45 by city, county, or named facility. 143 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

One hundred forty-three energy obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $412,245,156.45 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in North Dakota confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

North Dakota’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 143 awards USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $412,245,156.45. Sharing a geography with Department of Energy does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing the Department of Energy in North Dakota

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Energy (agency 089) obligated $412,245,156.45 on 143 awards coded to North Dakota. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as oil-well counts, named plants, or pipeline miles.

Prefer Department of Energy in North Dakota if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. North Dakota federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to ND. Department of Energy is the 089 parent without the ND filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $412,245,156.45.

A usable footnote names Department of Energy, North Dakota, $412,245,156.45, and 143. The compact headline $412.2M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $2,882,833.26 is $412,245,156.45 divided by 143. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
