Pennsylvania – update through December 2019

This interactive presentation contains the latest gas (and a little oil) production data, from all 9,417 horizontal wells in Pennsylvania that started producing from 2010 onward, through December. Visit ShaleProfile blog to explore the full interactive dashboard December gas production fell by 2.5%, to 19.1 Bcf/d. Compared with a year earlier, production was 1.1 Bcf/d higher (6%). However, with the decline in gas prices (below $2 in recent weeks), the horizontal rig count in Penn

US - update through November 2019

These interactive presentations contain the latest oil & gas production data from 120,328 horizontal wells in 12 US states, through November 2019. Cumulative oil and gas production from these wells reached 12.9 billion bbl and 145 Tcf of natural gas. West Virginia is deselected in most dashboards, as its production data is only up-to-date through September. Oklahoma is for now only available in our subscription services.

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.
