North Dakota Crude-Oil Production Falls Below One Million Barrels a Day
By Chester Dawson
North Dakota oil production dropped 4.7% in August on a commodity price slump, falling below the one-million-barrel-a-day mark for the first time in more than two years, according to the latest data from the state's Department of Mineral Resources.
Crude production dropped to 981,039 barrels a day in August, the most recent month for which data is available, the state said. That is the lowest level since March of 2014, when output came to 977,178 barrels a day.
Lynn Helms, director of the state's Department of Mineral Resources, said North Dakota's oil production would likely decline to a low of about 900,000 barrels a day by mid-2017 before recovering.
