North Dakota Oil Production

In July 2011, North Dakota was the United States' fourth largest oil-producing state, trailing Texas, Alaska, and California. North Dakota's oil production averaged 307 thousand barrels per day (bbl/d) in 2010, more than triple its 2005 level. The state's oil production continued to rise in 2011, averaging 341 thousand bbl/d in January and 360 thousand bbl/d in February. North Dakota's production growth rate has run against trends elsewhere in the U.S. when compared with other leading states over the past decade.
