The company also has yet to choose the technology it will use for the project

The Story

September 2015 - Badlands enters a "precedent agreement" with CLR
"
Shane Goettle of the Bismarck-based firm Odney, a consultant on the project, said Badlands
Won't be able to draw on Continental's ethane until the plant is completed, hopefully in three to five years.
"
"
A Continental spokeswoman said the company had no comment beyond the news release."

Press Story Define Precedent Agreement Goettle Press Release

Once again where are the numbers, to do this to do that, how many cubic feet, how many gallons, how much to build out to get the gas from CLR?
In the Past Year's CLR Has Had Its Own Issues To Contend With - Cutting Capex - Cutting Hedges

August 2015 - Badlands Plans To Have Two World Scale PE Facilities.
The first one is called "Shangri-La" and will be located on the water (site selected, but unannounced). This facility will consist of 1.5 million ton design and modular construction. 
The second facility will be in North Dakota (site narrowed down). This facility will consist of a 2 million ton single train cracker and 135 Mb/d ethane.
 Once "Shangri-La" is up and running, the North Dakota plant will be established as quickly as sufficient binding ethane agreements are signed.
Define Shangri-La
"With a decline in oil prices, Badlands makes future plans with a "Base Case" of $70/BBL WTI in 2020. Although it won't be for a few more years,
When this manufacturing plant is established in North Dakota - it's going to transform the economy and open many doors of opportunities." Gilliam.

Gilliam still sees the Bakken as a viable location for Badlands NGL, but there are some business climate issue to iron out.
“There are challenges to building this in North Dakota, if you stick built this polyethylene plant just like you would on the gulf coast,
 the peak employment would be 9,000 people,” Gilliam said. “Now we may not reach 9,000 but there are counties we are considering
that do not even have 2,000 people living in them. So there are going to be some very formidable challenges. But we feel it has to get built.”

"Tipping Point"
(Despite the name, ethane rejection could also be considered ethane inclusion: the ethane stays in the natural gas stream
Because its BTU content is more valuable in the gas than extracted, primarily because of low ethane prices.
So it’s referred to as rejection because it’s rejected as standalone ethane)

What Is A Cracker & Why Should I Care ?

By the time the plants start operating in 2017, the numbers may not look so rosy.
Exports are poised to absorb the country’s excess ethane, a natural gas liquid that’s become the main
 raw material for U.S. chemical makers as increased drilling in shale formations makes it abundant and cheap.

“Ethane exports have the potential to get really big,” Ben Nolan, a Chicago-based shipping analyst at Stifel, Nicolaus & Co., said Sept. 4.
“What people are assuming will be a lot of petrochemical manufacturing growth in the back end of the decade may not materialize.”
