The North Dakota Industrial Commission plans to analyze the composition of natural gas liquids (NGL) produced in the state to weigh the feasibility of building petrochemical plants to help reduce flared and wasted natural gas from Bakken Shale production.

The North Dakota Pipeline Authority (NDPA) is commissioning the University of North Dakota’s Energy and Environmental Research Center to complete the study for $300,650 by May (2020).

In 2020, North Dakota’s total gas processing capacity should reach 3.36 Bcf/d, a 6% increase over 2019 capacity in the state, according to the NDPA.

August, 2019, Director's Cut:

• natural gas production: 3,013,014 thousand cubic feet /day (new all-time high) or 3.013 billion cfpd
