The North Dakota Pipeline Authority says the ongoing wildfires in North Dakota have negatively impacted oil production in the state. The agency said that the wildfires resulted in a drop in oil output by approximately 60,000 to 90,000 barrels per day. North Dakota is the third-largest oil producer in the country, with daily output reaching over 1.1 million barrels per day in July.
Exxon Mobil announced it had temporarily shut down some oil wells and production sites in North Dakota due to multiple incidents of wildfires, and their teams are working with emergency responders to assess the damage caused by the fires.
