Blackouts Cut Oil Production In North Dakota

(Fargo, ND)  --  Blackouts are cutting oil production in North Dakota.  Data released this week shows the state produced around one-million barrels of crude oil per day in February, six percent fewer from the month before.  North Dakota Mineral Resources Department Director Lynn Helms said it wasn't a terrible month, but not a good one.  The winter storm that swept through Texas is to blame for the lack of production.
