North Dakota oil production was estimated to be down between 130,000 and 160,000 barrels per day (bpd) as of Thursday morning due to the recent extreme cold and related operational challenges, the state’s pipeline authority said.
Associated wellhead natural gas production was estimated to be down 0.37-0.45 billion cubic feet per day, said Justin Kringstad, director of the North Dakota Pipeline Authority.
“Warmer weather moves into the region starting today. I am anticipating up to a week for the majority of the curtailed production to be back online,” Kringstad said in an emailed statement.
