North Dakota Oil Production Remains Steady Amid Global Uncertainty

North Dakota's oil production and rig count have remained steady according to the latest numbers from the Department of Mineral Resources Director's Cut. The data, released on September 23, 2026, shows that despite global events affecting the industry, the state's oil production has stayed consistent. Charles Crane, the director of the department, is quoted as saying 'the outlook is cloudy.'

The numbers show that North Dakota's rig count has remained steady at 35, with no significant changes in recent months. This stability in production and drilling activities could be a result of the state's efforts to maintain a balance between oil extraction and environmental concerns.
