MINOT (AP) - Minot officials are being asked to approve about $600,000 in startup help for an oil field service company.

Pure Energy Services of Calgary, Alberta, hopes to expand into Minot's proposed energy park near U.S. Highway 2 this year.

The city's Magic Fund Committee meets Friday to take up the request, along with a Minot Area Development Corp. request for $1.1 million to build water, sewer and other services for the energy park.
