North Dakota Natural Gas Output Hits Record High in September, Flaring Edges Up
(Reuters) — Natural gas production in North Dakota rose to a record 3.440 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in September from an all-time high of 3.313 Bcf/d hit in August, while gas flaring also edged up.
Producers burned off, or flared, 0.182 Bcf/d of gas in September, up from 0.154 Bcf/d in August, keeping the percentage of gas flared at around 5%, the North Dakota Industrial Commission said in a report on Tuesday.
Flaring levels hit a peak of 36% in September 2011.
One billion cubic feet of gas is enough to supply about 5 million U.S. homes for a day.
The commission has set a goal of capturing at least 91% of gas pulled out of the ground after Nov. 1, 2020.
The number of producing wells, both oil and gas, rose to a preliminary record high of 18,538 in September from an all-time high of 18,396 hit in August.
