Bakken Energy and Armada deploy AI-powered, gas-powered data centers in North Dakota’s oil fields to boost efficiency and connectivity.
A partnership between Bakken Energy and tech firm Armada is deploying mobile, AI-powered data centers—housed in shipping containers—across North Dakota’s oil fields.
Ranging from 20 to 40 feet long, these off-grid facilities use flared natural gas for power, reducing waste while enabling real-time data processing in remote areas lacking fiber internet.
Starlink satellite connectivity supports data transmission, and cooling systems use air and water.
Backed by $131 million in investments, including from Microsoft, Armada frames the project as part of a new industrial revolution driven by AI, data, and energy efficiency.
State leaders view it as a strategic move to boost economic growth, create jobs, and reduce reliance on foreign technology.
While some communities welcome the economic benefits, concerns remain over water use and environmental impact.
The initiative is still in early stages, with permitting and deployment ongoing.
