Aug numbers are out: 701,134 bbl s per day.
CarpeDiem.com does a better job than I describing the significance of all this.
August production: 21,735,166 bbls / 31 --> 701,134 bopd
July production: 20,963,713 bbls / 31 --> 676,249 bopd
701,134 - 676,249 = 24,885 bbls / 676,249 --> 3.68% increase
7,701 producing wells -- 91 bbls/day
What surprises me the most? From CarpeDiem.com: North Dakota produced 73% more oil than Alaska in August. That's pretty impressive.
