A New York-based oil and gas company plans a $325 million expansion to its natural gas plant in northwestern North Dakota to keep pace with production in the state's prolific oil patch.

Hess Corp. wants to increase capacity at its plant in Tioga from 100 million cubic feet of natural gas daily to 250 million cubic feet.

The plant was built in 1954. The company says it wants to start construction on the expansion project next March and complete it in late 2012.
