BISMARCK, N.D., Sept 24 (Reuters) - North Dakota regulators
on Thursday gave the energy industry 10 extra months to curb the
amount of natural gas burned off at oil wells, acquiescing to
industry worries that construction delays have made it all but
impossible to meet existing targets.
The North Dakota Industrial Commission voted unanimously to
require the state's oil producers to collect 85 percent of
natural gas produced from their wells by November 1, 2016.
The previous deadline had been January 1, 2016.
