North Dakota’s oil production was estimated to be down by between 70,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 100,000 bpd due to extreme cold weather and related operational challenges, the state’s pipeline authority said on Wednesday.
“Milder winter temperatures have returned in the region, and we anticipate that the majority of the lost production will return online within the next 3-6 days,” North Dakota pipeline authority said.
