North Dakota posted a record 1.132 million b/d of oil production in August, the state's Department of Mineral Resources said Wednesday.
That output was up 17,910 b/d from 1.114 million b/d in July, the agency said in a statement.
The number of producing wells also reached an all-time high of 11,563 in August, up from July's 11,293, the agency said.
August natural gas production in the state reached a record 1.34 Bcf/d, jumping from July's 1.294 Bcf/d.
About 94% of the state's crude production, or 1.067 million b/d, in August came from the Bakken and Three Forks intervals, the two producing geological formations in the play.
Transportation out of the Williston Basin saw little month-to-month change. Barrels transported via rail were unchanged at 60% in August, while pipeline transportation rose 1 percentage point to 34%, the agency said.
