North Dakota natural gas output hits record high in December, flaring eases
(Reuters) - Natural gas production in North Dakota in December rose to a record 3.525 Bcfd from the prior all-time high of 3.469 Bcfd in November, while gas flaring eased.
Producers burned off, or flared, 0.174 bcfd of gas in December, down from an estimated 0.188 bcfd in November, keeping the percentage of gas flared at around 95%, the North Dakota Industrial Commission said in a report on Thursday.
Flaring levels hit a peak of 36% in September 2011.
One billion cubic feet of gas is enough to supply about 5 million U.S. homes for a day.
The commission has set a goal of capturing at least 91% of gas pulled out of the ground after Nov. 1, 2020.
The number of producing wells, both oil and gas, rose to a preliminary record high of 18,753 in December from the previous all-time high of 18,743 in November.
