Increasing oil production takes quite a few years, involving time spent on seismic studies, exploratory drilling, production drilling, as well as construction of infrastructure for transportation and refining.
She currently employs approximately 460 people who work offshore, and all of her revenue comes from servicing offshore production and drilling sites.
With equipment and crew constraints being resolved because of a decline in gas production, drilling activity in North Dakota is set to rise even further.

Onshore production means all well drilling and other equipment used in the onshore production, extraction, recovery, lifting, stabilization, separation or treating of petroleum and natural gas (including condensate).
The A350's delay is due to a production problem involving drilling holes in the plane's wings.
Central and South America lost operating income in drilling and production, hindered by the U.S. moratorium on offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico following BP's Deepwater Horizon disaster.
But the question after the Deepwater Horizon accident is how all involved parties including exploration and production companies and drilling contractors can work even more closely together to better understand and significantly reduce the various risks associated with drilling operations.
Through November, the company began drilling and production at different projects in South Texas.
So there are number of steps related to drilling and production.
WHITEHOUSE: Press Briefing by Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest
Our technologies and services include: surface and subsea drilling and production, monitoring and diagnostics, measurement and controls, large-scale LNG, pipeline compression and inspection, well site and industrial power generation, technologies for the refining and petrochemical industries, and modular CNG and LNG units for transportation sectors.
"The agency has taken unprecedented steps and will continue to make the changes necessary to restore the American people's confidence in the safety and environmental soundness of oil and gas drilling and production on the Outer Continental Shelf, while balancing our nation's important energy needs, " spokeswoman Kendra Barkoff said.
We have invited all of the major players in industry that do deepwater drilling and production to send their CEO and top technical folks to have a discussion about what we might consider doing in the short term to ensure safety, getting to the point that was made before.
We think drilling and increasing production is important as long as it is done safely, as you can do both.
These companies are forced to keep drilling to meet production quotas long after they stop making money by doing so.
Hornbeck, which provides transportation to offshore drilling rigs and production platforms, said its business was being unjustly interrupted by the moratorium.

Visitors to an offshore drilling rig or production platform receive safety training and are outfitted with steel-toed boots, safety goggles, gloves, hearing protection, and a helmet.
FORBES: Oil & Gas Isn't Just One Of The Richest Industries, It's Also One Of The Safest
In the 1960s it was hoped that the development of oil and gas would revive British manufacturing with orders for drilling rigs, production platforms and survey vessels.
What President Obama and the EPA are missing are the new, more effective drilling techniques that have led to the more cost-efficient drilling and safer production procedures.
And that means, yes, increasing domestic production and off-shore drilling, but we only have 3 percent of the world's oil supplies and we use 25 percent of the world's oil.
But in recent years, domestic production boomed, with horizontal drilling techniques and hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking, " helping producers unleash a flood of gas from shale formations in Pennsylvania, Arkansas and elsewhere.
As background, hydraulic fracturing is a multi-step process commonly used in oil and natural gas drilling to bolster eventual production from wells.

Mitch McConnell said something very nice in the meeting about how he supports our goals on nuclear energy and clean coal technology and more drilling to increase oil production.
Reid suggested the president instead focus on releasing oil from the strategic oil reserve, speeding up production in areas already open for drilling and cracking down on oil traders.
High oil prices and improved horizontal drilling techniques made oil production in tight oil plays like the Eagle Ford Shale in Texas and the Bakken Formation in North Dakota economical for the first time.
Oil firm Dana Petroleum is bringing new wells into production in Egypt, after a successful drilling campaign.
Improved drilling has boosted United States production of both oil and natural gas, but oil trades on a global market.

Again, we are experiencing a revolution in production in the United States through horizontal drilling, fracking, and these newer technologies, and they are able to capitalize on that wonderfully because of their domestic crude oil footprint.
The drill ships and production platforms required to undertake such deep drilling are massive floating structures, much larger than the largest aircraft carriers and costing well over a half billion dollars (and close to a million dollars a day to rent).
The Gulf of Mexico has become an important deepwater exploration and production region and it now contributes to 27% of the total crude oil production in the U.S. BP owns the largest acreages in the Gulf and plans to resume drilling in the region to prop up its declining crude production.
