BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Regulators say daily oil production in North Dakota rose slightly in February. According to the Department of Mineral Resources, North Dakota produced an average of 1.45 million barrels of oil daily in February. That’s up 1% from 1.43 million barrels a day in January. Natural gas production in North Dakota slipped in February. The state produced nearly 90 billion cubic feet of natural gas in February, down from 93.6 billion cubic feet in January.
