A boost in the workforce helped Williams County add 66 producing oil
wells in May, increasing daily production by more than 21,000 barrels
that month, the latest figures show.
The significant jump – a 23 percent increase in oil production over
April – was due to additional crews that do hydraulic fracturing, or
fracking, said Lynn Helms, director of Mineral Resources.
Helms said he expects another big jump in Williams County oil
production when June numbers are released as the frack crews continue
to work on those idle wells.
