Another North Dakota Oil Record -- 153 Million Bbls in 2011

Link here to the Bismarck Tribune.

North Dakota oil drillers produced a record 152.9 million barrels of crude in 2011, up more than 35 percent and nearly 40 million more barrels than the previous record set a year earlier, the state Industrial Commission said Wednesday.

State records show North Dakota also produced a record 155.9 billion cubic feet of natural gas in 2011, up from 113 billion cubic feet the year before.

Kewl. 

For round numbers, going forward, I will probably blog 150 million bbls in 2011.
