North
Dakota's
oil
output
rose
about
30,000
bpd
from
April
levels,
monthly
data
from
the
state
Industrial
Commission
showed.
Output
has
doubled
in
the
last
two
years
alone.
Most
of
the
gains
came
from
the
Bakken
and
Three
Forks
shale
prospects,
where
production
rose
to
just
above
574,000
bpd
in
May,
the
data
showed.

weather

a
ramp
up
in
drilling

to
the
increase.
There
were
over
6950
wells
drilling
for
oil
in
May,
according
to
state
data.
North
Dakota,
located
along

border,

upended
the

oil
market
