Niobrara oil, gas production expected to increase in March

Oil production in the Niobrara formation is expected to increase to 580,000 barrels per day in March, up slightly from February’s anticipated 573,000.

That’s according to the latest data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Oil production is increasing along with the price of oil, which has rebounded from a low of $43 a barrel last summer to more than $60 a barrel.

Gas production in the Niobrara also is expected to increase, from 4.81 million cubic feet per day to 4.86 million cubic feet per day.
