North Dakota Hits New Production Record as Restrictions Loom

摘要

North Dakota surged to new records for oil and gas production in July, even as restrictions loomed for operators unable to meet the state’s restrictions for flaring associated natural gas. Producers pumped 1.27 million barrels per day of crude from the Bakken tight oil play in July, up 3.5% from June (OD Aug.17’18). The state broke its 2015 production record for the first time in May (OD Jul.16’18).
