Top Producing Operators In North Dakota -- Drilling Edge -- September, 2015, Data

There is a very good chance there are errors on this page. See disclaimer below.

It is often difficult to find end-of-year data listing the top producers in North Dakota without a subscription to a major oil and gas industry news site. DrillingEdge provides the data, at a dynamic link; for September, 2015.

For natural gas boe, I used the conversion calculator at Delek Energy; there are many other calculators and they don't all "agree." [Update, November 18, 2016 -- this link has been changed; very, very strange. Needless to say I don't use that site anymore.]

Disclaimer: I often make simple arithmetic errors. In a long note like this, there may be typographical and factual errors. I have not triple-checked the figures; in most cases, I have not even double-checked the calculations or the transcribed figures. If this information is important to you, go to the source.

Columns 1, 2, and 3 (operator, oil, gas) are taken directly from Drilling Edge. Column 4 (gas boe) is calculated as noted above. Column 5 (boe) is adding columns 2 and 4). Column 6 is transcribed from Drilling Edge. Column 7 is column 5 divided by column 6. Column 8 is column 4 divided by column 5 expressed as a percentage. Hopefully I have all that correct.

This table is based on production from one month, September, 2015.
