The agency said the state produced an average of about 793,250 barrels daily in April. That’s up from about 783,000 barrels a day in March.
Data show there were 8,758 producing wells in April, up from 8,639 wells in March.
North Dakota also produced a record 846,906 million cubic feet of natural gas daily in April. In March, the state produced 834,637 million cubic feet.
The state also had a record 185 new wells connected to natural gas gathering lines in April. But the percentage of natural gas burned off as a byproduct of oil production remained at 29 percent.
The April tally is the latest figure available because oil production numbers typically lag at least two months.
