North Dakota's economy started to boom about eight years ago due to advances in hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, and by 2014 it had the fastest growing economy in the nation.
North Dakota's largest industry is oil and gas, according to a recent survey by financial news website 24/7 Wall Street. In a recent examination of the top industries in each of the 50 states, the website found that the oil and gas industry contributes nearly 7 percent of North Dakota's gross domestic product, or GDP.
North Dakota's resources include sand and gravel, cement rock, clay, salt, uranium, and volcanic ash, but its two most valuable have been lignite coal and petroleum. In the early 21st century, the state produced about 30 million tons of coal annually.
In 2017, North Dakota led the nation in the production of all dry edible beans, navy beans, pinto beans, canola, flaxseed, honey, dry edible peas, Durum wheat, and spring wheat. North Dakota was the No. 2 producer of lentils, black beans, great northern beans, all wheat, and sunflowers.
North Dakota produced 155 billion cubic feet of natural gas, processed 97 billion cubic feet of natural gas and paid $9.6 million in production taxes in 2011. Over the past three years, North Dakota's natural gas industry has worked hard to connect more than 2,100 new wells to gas plants.
North Dakota is known for its Badlands, now part of the 70,000-acre Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Roosevelt's journey to the Dakota Territory in 1883 to hunt bison was among his Western ventures that instilled in him a fervor for preservation of natural lands, and ultimately the first national parks.
According to the North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources, the total oil rig count in the state had fallen from 58 active rigs on October 3, 2019, to only 11 active rigs on October 3, 2020, a reduction of over 80 percent.
They were all wrong. North Dakota began to boom in the midst of America's forever wars, when technological advancement in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing made a formerly impenetrable seam of crude oil suddenly recoverable.
The driving force behind this surge in economic output: Oil, oil and more oil. In recent years new technology has made it possible for drillers to reach pockets of oil that had previously been inaccessible -- spurring a full-fledged oil boom in the northwest corner of the state.
The energy industry is one of the major drivers of North Dakota's economy. The state produces shale gas and has vast reserves of oil and coal. It has large reserves of lignite coal, and it is the largest producer in the country.
