Spills of produced water and oil have almost become commonplace throughout North Dakota, but that begs the question: How many spills does our state really see?

We dove into Hazconnect to check out the reported spills in the state and saw that the oil industry was not the only culprit.

Some of the spills are exceedingly small, others reach into the tens or even hundreds of thousands of gallons. Two of the spills reported would each fill over half of an Olympic swimming pool..

Here are all 69 spills reported to North Dakota for January 2024

Gal: Gallon
BBL: barrel (1 Barrel = 42 gallons)
