What this public sample includes
- Source limitations and geographic research context; production volumes withheld.
- County and operator research context; production totals and masked well examples are withheld.
- Source notes and public-sample caveats.
Data samples
ND public sample
North Dakota oil and gas production data sample
Use this North Dakota page to plan Bakken and Williston Basin research and understand source limitations. Earlier numerical production examples are withheld pending verification; the remaining county and operator names are starting points for research, not measured activity rankings.
Historical production sample withheld pending verification. No verified production cutoff is claimed on this page. For source readiness, see North Dakota coverage.
Correction September 12, 2026: the earlier production trend and masked well-volume examples are withheld because their source-query lineage could not be corroborated. They must not be treated as verified North Dakota production. County and operator names below are research context, not rankings.
North Dakota Bakken oil and gas production data
State production signals
No verified monthly production trend is presented here while the earlier sample is under review. Missing or withheld values do not mean zero production.
McKenzie, Mountrail, Williams, and Dunn counties are included to show how the public sample represents core Bakken and Williston Basin workflows.
Check production month and source coverage separately from well-status dates. The North Dakota well-index date does not establish new permit issuance.
Change in public sample
Changes are not calculated while the underlying sample is withheld. Missing evidence is not zero production.
Source method
North Dakota source method
The historical sample lacked corroborated source-query evidence in this review. Before restoring volumes, retain the source artifact, reporting period, units, aggregation method and record-selection evidence. This page remains available for geographic context and links to source-aware research.
| Primary source family | North Dakota state source data with matched completion context where available |
|---|---|
| Public treatment | County and operator research context; numerical trend and masked well examples withheld |
| Why it matters | North Dakota broadens the public sample beyond the Permian into Bakken oil workflows |
| Public cutoff | Earlier February 2026 volume sample withheld pending source verification; no verified production cutoff is claimed here |
Source basis and limits
- North Dakota well-index issue_date is a well-status date, not verified permit issuance. This historical production sample is separate and was not refreshed by the September 12 date correction.
- Public preview pages do not include raw records, exports, normalized matching logic, or advanced analytics.
Mcf means one thousand cubic feet. See the EIA unit explanation. This unit definition does not validate the underlying production estimates.
What app access adds
- Current records where the source supports them.
- Unmasked wells, coordinates, full monthly histories, maps, exports, and saved workflows.
- Operator, county, permit, production, and infrastructure context in one workspace.
Questions this dataset answers
- Which North Dakota counties should be reviewed in the available activity records?
- Which operators appear in the public North Dakota sample rows?
- How current is the public production clock for North Dakota?
- Which records would require current app access before making a business decision?

Production trend withheld pending source verification. The earlier chart is not a verified series and no percentage change should be inferred from it.
Need current data instead?
This page is an aggregate public sample. App access is for teams that need current availability, unmasked well records, full monthly histories, maps, exports, and operator-level workflows.
- •Current source refreshes where available by state
- •Well-level records, coordinates, and production histories
- •Exports, maps, saved filters, and repeatable team workflows
Counts and production figures are rounded or summarized for public pages. Source-level interpretation and normalized exports are available with app access.
Source status and caveats are tracked on the North Dakota coverage page.
