North Dakota oil production was flat in February — despite high crude prices — and output is expected to grow only slightly this year.
Limited partly by weather, North Dakota pumped out 1.09 million barrels of oil a day in February, about the same as the previous month, according to state data released Tuesday. Natural gas production rose 1.5 % from January to February.
"The weather was bad, production was not too bad and the prices were amazing," Lynn Helms, North Dakota's mineral resources director, told reporters Tuesday.
