North Dakota Oil Production Drops Again in June, Hits 1.18 Million bbl/d
(Reuters) — North Dakota's oil production fell by 22,500 barrels per day (bbl/d) in June to an estimated 1.176 million bbl/d, the state's Pipeline Authority said on Thursday, marking a second straight monthly decline.
Production in the third top oil-producing U.S. state has slipped since climbing to 1.29 million bbl/d last September, according to figures from its Pipeline Authority. September's level was the highest since March 2020, according to Energy Information Administration data.
The state would likely have a difficult time hitting 1.3 million bbl/d of production by the end of the year, regulators said on Thursday, but added they anticipated well completions to increase from June levels.
Separately, Marathon Petroleum's 71,000-bbl/d Mandan refinery in North Dakota came out of a turnaround in late July, the pipeline regulator said in a presentation.
The state experienced some natural gas plant outages during the summer, regulators also said.
