Bakken Energy and Mitsubishi Power Americas have signed a memorandum of understanding to procure natural gas for their proposed $2 billion blue hydrogen hub in western North Dakota from the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation's Fort Berthold Reservation, which produces about 20% of the state's oil supply.

U.S. oil futures ended Thursday’s session with a modest gain, up a second day in a row, finding support from U.S. government data released Wednesday showing an unexpected weekly decline in crude inventories.

However, oil market fundamentals "remain very tight and with no immediate changes to that outlook, crude prices seem poised to go higher," he said. West Texas Intermediate crude for March delivery CLH22, +0.43% rose 22 cents, or nearly 0.3%, to settle at $89.88 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange after trading as high as $91.74.
