Platts Analytics sample data for the Williston in North Dakota shows a swing from 2.2 Bcf/d in March to 2.14 Bcf/d as of April 16. It is expected to fall to 2.09 Bcf/d by April 20. As a result, the basin has sent less gas to the US Upper Midwest on Northern Border. Bakken flows on Northern Border fell to just 1.7 Bcf/d on April 6, the lowest it has been since Feb. 19, when extreme cold caused production curtailments. Bakken flows measured at 1.8 Bcf/d on Northern Border on April 16.
