Whether managing produced water or a timber stand, we operate to leave the land in better condition than we found it.
Decisions are made by people in the field, supported by disciplined financial and management oversight at the parent level.
We partner with operators, landowners, and agencies who value reliability and responsible practice.
Start a Conversation →We own and operate two saltwater disposal facilities serving major producers in the Williston Basin — built for uptime, safety, and regulatory compliance.
Every barrel produced in the Bakken comes with water that has to go somewhere. Saltwater disposal is the critical, regulated last step in the production cycle — and operators depend on partners who can take that water safely, consistently, and without interruption.
Through our HJG North Dakota subsidiaries, we own and operate two saltwater disposal (SWD) facilities serving major producers across the Williston Basin. Our focus is singular: dependable, compliant disposal that keeps our customers producing.
Disposal assets are long-lived infrastructure, and we operate them that way — with disciplined maintenance, monitoring, and a commitment to meeting every regulatory standard that governs produced-water injection.

Contact the Team →Dark Horse Timber harvests only trees designated for removal by the U.S. Forest Service under its environmental clearing policies, then mills them into industrial and commercial cut timber.
Our eco-friendly model is simple: we never log live, healthy trees that the forest needs. We harvest only timber that the U.S. Forest Service has designated for removal as part of its environmental clearing policies — trees marked for thinning, fuel-load reduction, and forest-health management.
This means our work supports the Forest Service's objectives rather than working against them. The same trees that would otherwise add to wildfire risk or be cleared and wasted become a productive resource in our hands.
Through Dark Horse Timber, we then turn that designated timber into industrial and commercial cut lumber — capturing real value from material that is being removed for the good of the forest.
We log only trees marked for removal by the U.S. Forest Service under its environmental clearing policies.
Live, needed trees are never cut — our work supports forest health and wildfire-risk reduction.
Designated timber is processed into usable lumber rather than cleared and wasted.
Finished cut timber products for industrial and commercial use.
Our Utah logging and sawmilling operations run under the Dark Horse Timber brand, which maintains its own website with products, services, and contact details.
