Permian – update through March 2018

This interactive presentation contains the latest oil & gas production data through March from all 15,294 horizontal wells in the Permian (Texas & New Mexico) that started producing since 2008/2009.     Oil production in the Permian has kept its upward trajectory through the first quarter of this year. The percentage growth since mid last year was even larger in New Mexico (50%), than in Texas (toggle the basins in the ‘Basin’ selection to see this).   Despi

Oklahoma - update through December 2019

These interactive presentations contain the latest oil & gas production data from 11,444 horizontal wells in Oklahoma, through December 2019. This is our first post on Oklahoma and maybe also the last one, as it will be part of the bigger US updates from now. Oklahoma is home to several tight oil & gas basins, such as the SCOOP and the STACK. Production data is not easily provided by the state agencies. Multiple sources and thorough cleansing is needed before the data can be used. I thin

Haynesville – update through May 2020

This interactive presentation contains the latest gas (and a little oil) production data, from all 5,628 horizontal wells in the Haynesville that started producing from 2007, through May 2020. The last time we had a separate post on this basin was over a year ago. But we noticed that drilling activity is relatively high in this basin (even higher than in the Marcellus!), and it is the only major US shale basin for which we predict output growth, based on current activity levels.
