September, 2016, Crude Oil Production -- North Dakota --

Disclaimer: I only went through this exercise once. It has not been double-checked. There are a gazillion possibilities for errors. I might check it later; maybe not. I was just curious. Do not quote me on any of this. I can guarantee there are errors, although (hopefully) minor errors.

This is taken from the NDIC September, 2016, productivity spreadsheets. If this information is important to you, go to the source.

Later: although Jill Stein does not have any oil wells in North Dakota (to the best of my knowledge), I understand she is looking for $3 million in donations to order the NDIC to do a "recount." Apparently the difference between production totals for CLR, Hess, and Whiting are concerning to her. Hillary Clinton has not yet recused herself from the "recount" effort.
