N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – A milestone in North Dakota’s oil production.

 

[

 

State mineral resources director Lynn Helms says North Dakota becomes one of four states to ever exceed the million-barrel-a-day mark. North Dakota is number two in the production of oil, behind number one Texas.

 

 

Helms says he expects daily production to eventually rise to one-and-a-half million barrels a day – before it starts leveling off.
