[Summary: Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg traveled to North Dakota's Williston Basin this week to tour a drilling rig site (the well is owned by Statoil operated by Nabors Industries). The tour was arranged by the North Dakota Petroleum Council so Zuckerberg could learn more about new technologies in the oil patch, which have propelled the development of shale gas.
Zuckerberg flew into North Dakota on his private jet, an interesting choice due to his avid support for renewable energy and its development.]
According to reports, this move is part of Zuckerberg's initiative to travel across the U.S. state-by-state to "get a broader perspective" in order to better serve economies and communities across the U.S.
While these state visits were rumored to be connected to a possible presidential bid by the Facebook CEO, Zuckerberg stated in May that he will not be seeking office: "Some of you have asked if this means I'm running for publicc office. I'm not," he stated.
