Daily Bakken Crude Oil Production to Reach 1.1 Million Barrels in 2014

摘要

Energy Intelligence group Gen-scape predicts crude production in the Bakken shale region will reach 1.1 million barrels per day (bpd) by the end of 2014, continuing its growth trend. The company had predicted that production would rise by 54,000 bpd from May to June, which would have been the region's largest monthly increase on record. However, the North Dakota Industrial Commission reported on Aug. 15 that oil production rose just 10,153 from May to June, reaching 821,415 bpd, which surpassed May's total of 811,262 bpd. The commission's report still showed that monthly oil and gas production in North Dakota's Bakken shale region reached record highs in June, as gas production rose to more than 930 million cubic feet (MMcf) in June, surpassing May's total of more than 896 MMcf.
