Total footage drilled in 1981 was 7,804,361. The NDIC only has data thru 2005 at their site https://www.dmr.nd.gov/oilgas/stats/DrillStats.PDF
In 2008 there will be about 800 wells drilled with an average footage of 16,000 for a total footage of 12,800,000 Thus in terms of feet drilled 2008 will set a record.
