Director's Cut Released -- North Dakota Crude Oil Production Up Slightly -- July 16, 2019

For flaring data, see this post.

Over at twitter it's being reported that North Dakota oil production:

• May, 2019: 1.393 million bopd
• April, 2019: 1.392 million bopd

Those numbers, of course, were rounded. The preliminary crude oil production for April, 2019,was:

• 1,391,188 bopd (preliminary, crude oil production, April, 2019)

If the final number actually hit 1.392 million bopd, we had a huge jump in April. 

I don't yet see the Director's Cut which is slated to be released in about 40 minutes.

With regard to crude oil production, yesterday before the Director's Cut was posted, I wrote this:

• Crude oil production in March, 2019: 1,391,760 bopd (final) (preliminary was: 1,390,138 bopd, so it's very likely "final" April, 2019, will be closer to 1,392,810 bopd)

The May, 2019, summary:

Crude oil production:

• May, 2019: 1,393,284 bopd (preliminary)
• April, 2019: 1,392,485, bopd (final) (see above: I predicted: 1,392,810 -- off by 385 bopd -- whoo-hoo!)
• April crude oil production "increased" by 2,347 bopd or 0.1688%

Crude oil production:

• May, 2019 (preliminary): 1,393,284
• April, 2019 (final): 1,392,485
• January, 2019, all-time high: 1,403,808 bopd

Delta, crude oil:

• May, 2019 (preliminary):1,393,284
• April, 2019 (final): 1,392,485
• delta, month-over-month, bbls: 799 bopd
• delta, month-over-month, percent: 0.00%

Natural gas production:

• May, 2019 (preliminary): 2,821,672 mcfpd
• April, 2019 (final): 2,833,131 mcfpd (this is now the all-time high)
• we'll see if that record holds when the "final" figures come out next month
• to go from 2,821,672 to 2,833,132 mcfpd, is a 0.4% increase

BOE:

• April, 2019 (final), likely an all-time high: 1,864,595 boe
• May, 2019 (preliminary): 1,863,484 boe (once the "final" figures are posted a month from now, it's likely we will see a new all-time BOE daily production number;

Producing wells:

• May, 2019: 15,698 (preliminary, new all-time high)
• April, 2019: 15,503 
• March, 2019: 15,353 -- well below the all-time high of 15,409 in January, 2019

• January, 2019: 15,409
