Ten Wells Coming Off The Confidential List -- Another Boom? -- August 20, 2019

ND vs Norge: link sent to me by a reader from Norway -- link here, data points:
  • Norwegian production, June, 2019:
    • oil, NGL, and condensate: 1,409,000 bpd
      • crude oil: 1,067,000 bpd
      • NGL: 315,000 bpd 
      • condensate: 28,000 bpd
      • a decrease of 184,000 bpd compared to May 
    • natural gas sales: 9.4 billion standard cubic meters
  • crude oil production in June;
    • North Dakota: 1.424625 million bbls
    • Norway: 1.067 million bopd
  • North Dakota: 34% more oil production than Norway in the month of June, 2019

RBN Energy: an update on Marcellus / Utica natural gas processing and fractionation.
Natural gas production in the U.S. Northeast has been increasing steadily through the 2010s and now averages about 32 Bcf/d — 12% higher than last August and nearly double where it stood five years ago — despite the lowest regional spot gas prices since early 2016. This run-up in production volumes wouldn’t have been possible without the new gas-processing and fractionation capacity that MPLX and other midstream companies have been bringing online at a steady pace in the “wet” or NGLs-rich parts of the Marcellus and Utica shales. Today, we begin a short blog series on recently completed and planned gas-processing and fractionation projects in the nation’s largest gas-producing region, and the gas production growth they will help enable.
Maybe ND officials should visit the Marcellus / Utica to better understand how to handle growing production of natural gas.
