Petroleum
North Dakota is a substantial crude oil-producing State with an output typically equal to roughly 2.7 percent of total annual U.S. production. The state is also an entrance point for Canadian crude oil transported via pipeline to U.S. Midwest refining markets. A petroleum refinery in Mandan refines crude oil extracted from the Williston Basin, which covers eastern Montana and the western Dakotas, as well as a small amount of Canadian crude. The refinery produces transportation fuels primarily for the northern Great Plains States and the Twin Cities area.
Ethanol is produced at ethanol plants in North Dakota, giving the state considerable ethanol production capacity. North Dakota is a moderate consumer of ethanol in blended motor gasoline.
