By every measure, the oil boom dominated North Dakota's economic activity in 2011, making it yet another year for the books.The link takes you to more data points.
As of the end of October, the last reporting quarter, old records fell and new oil production records continued to be set, just as they have every reporting quarter for the past three years.
13.9 million - The number of barrels of oil being produced each month in North Dakota as of October. That's nearly 500,000 barrels a day.
4 - The state is the fourth highest oil producing state in the country.
196 - The drilling rig count at the end of December.
201 - The all-time high number of rigs ever operating in the state, set in August.
One comment: I'm not sure where the "201" -- all-time high number of rigs came from. The record was clearly 204, albeit not very long, a day or so. But clearly 204.
