Permian – update through May 2018

This interactive presentation contains the latest oil & gas production data through May from all 16,326 horizontal wells in the Permian (Texas & New Mexico) that started producing since 2008/2009. In this update we were able to include more recent wells, which explains the higher (~10%) production level.   Output has surged higher in the first 5 months of 2018, following the rapid rise in 2017. As the graph shows, about 75% of total oil production in May came from wells th

Eagle Ford - update through May 2018

This interactive presentation contains the latest oil & gas production data through May from 20,900 horizontal wells in the Eagle Ford region, that started producing since 2008. In the first 5 months of this year, oil production from these wells has hovered around a level of 1.2 million barrels of oil per day. This was a few percent above the output 12 months earlier, but lower than the level reached in Q4 last year.   Although well performance has also steadily shown imp

Niobrara (CO & WY) - update through May 2018

This interactive presentation contains the latest oil & gas production data through May, from all 7,962 horizontal wells that started production in the Niobrara region (Colorado & Wyoming) since 2009/2010. As shown in the graph below, 2017 was a similarly strong year for oil production growth as 2013, with more than 150 thousand bo/d added. Since end of last year, production from unconventional horizontal wells has remained just below half a million bo/d. In May about 70% of total o

This interactive presentation contains the latest oil & gas production data through May, from 91,810 horizontal wells in 10 US states. Cumulative oil and gas production from these wells reached 8.9 Gbo and 98.6 Tcf. Their total oil production was close to 5.5 million bo/d in May, or more than half of total US oil supply, while gas production topped 50 Bcf/d.   If you group this total oil production by ‘production level’, using the ‘Show production by’ selection, you will

Marcellus (PA) – update through July 2018

This interactive presentation contains the latest gas (and a little oil) production data, from all 8,298 horizontal wells in Pennsylvania that started producing since 2010, through July. It also contains the production data from Ohio & West Virginia, but as these states have a greater lag in their reporting, only Pennsylvania is preselected in most views.   Visit ShaleProfile blog to explore the full interactive dashboards As you can see, unconventional gas production fro

This interactive presentation contains the latest oil & gas production data through July, from all 8,221 horizontal wells that started production in the Niobrara region (Colorado & Wyoming) since 2009/2010. Although we had a post on this region just 3 weeks ago, as we now have reliable data up through July, I wanted to share another update. A few percent of the wells were not yet reported in July, so there will be some upward revisions.   Visit ShaleProfile blog to ex
