In the first half of this year, oil production from horizontal wells has hovered just above 1.2 million bo/d, while gas output stood at about 5.8 Bcf per day.
Unlike the Permian, production growth is rather timi
This interactive presentation contains the latest oil & gas production data through June from all 16,770 horizontal wells in the Permian (Texas & New Mexico) that started producing since 2008/2009.

Even though data for the last few months is still somewhat incomplete, it is already clear that the Permian set another production record in June, producing well above 2.4 million bo/d from these horizontal wells
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.

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.

These interactive presentations contains the latest oil & gas production data from all 13,628 horizontal wells in North Dakota through July, that started production since 2005.
July oil production in North Dakota came in at 1,269 kbo/d, after a month-on-month rise of 3.4%, setting a new record for the state.

An important factor behind this jump were the 141 new wells that started production, the hig
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
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 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
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
This interactive presentation contains the latest gas (and a little oil) production data through June, from all 8,236 horizontal wells in Pennsylvania that started producing since 2010.
Gas production from these wells has hovered around a level of 16 Bcf/d in the first half of 2018. During this period, 351 horizontal wells started production versus 299 in the year before.
In the ‘Well quality’ tab, the production profiles of all these wells can be found, averaged by the yea
This interactive presentation contains the latest oil & gas production data through June from all 13,628 horizontal wells in North Dakota that started production since 2005.
June oil production in North Dakota came in at 1,246 kbo/d, after a month-on-month drop of ~1.5%.
As shown in the below graph, wells that started production since 2017 contributed about half of total oil production in June.
If you switch to gas, you’ll see that natural gas production has risen
This interactive presentation contains the latest oil & gas production data through April, from 90,168 horizontal wells in 10 US states. Cumulative oil and gas production from these wells reached 8.7 Gbo and 96.7 Tcf.
The number of well completions in the 2nd half of 2017 was about 60% higher than the average level in 2016, which explains most of the rise in output over the past year.
Average initial well productivity in the oily basins did not change much over this period, as
This interactive presentation contains the latest oil & gas production data through April from 20,207 horizontal wells in the Eagle Ford region, that started producing since 2008.
Despite significant future upwards production revisions, which are typical for Texas, it appears that total oil and gas production has declined in the Eagle Ford since December.
It also appears that the wells that started producing in 2018 are so far closely tracking the performance of wells f
This interactive presentation contains the latest oil & gas production data through April from all 15,532 horizontal wells in the Permian (Texas & New Mexico) that started producing since 2008/2009.
The graph above shows the rapid growth of unconventional oil production from horizontal wells in the Permian where total oil output doubled in the past 2 years. As usual for this region, recent data is incomplete, and I expect that after revisions April production has set another record
This interactive presentation contains the latest gas (and a little oil) production data through April, from all 8,137 horizontal wells in Pennsylvania that started producing since 2010.
After the significant jump in output at the end of last year, gas production has remained fairly steady at a level around 16 Bcf/d, and just like in the past 3 years there was a small dip in May.
Only 252 horizontal wells started production in Pennsylvania in the first 5 months of this year, which
This interactive presentation contains the latest oil & gas production data through May from all 13,545 horizontal wells in North Dakota that started production since 2005.
May oil production in North Dakota came in at 1,245 kbo/d, after a month-on-month increase of 1.6%. This pushed production higher than the previous all-time high in December 2014.
Recent wells are closely tracking the performance of the wells that started in 2017 (see the bottom graph in the ‘Well qu
This interactive presentation contains the latest oil & gas production data through March, from 88,617 horizontal wells in 10 US states. Cumulative oil and gas production from these wells reached 8.6 Gbo and 94.2 Tcf. The latest data for Ohio, which just released Q1 production figures, is also included. Only data for West Virginia is not up-to-date, and therefore this state has been deselected in most views.
With the surge in drilling and completion activity since early 2017
This interactive presentation contains the latest oil & gas production data through March from 20,615 horizontal wells in the Eagle Ford region (TRRC districts 1-4), that started producing since 2008.
Growth is tepid in the Eagle Ford basin, and recent oil output remains well below the high set in March 2015, even after upcoming upward revisions.
Although well productivity has also improved in this basin, as shown in the ‘Well quality’ tab, the effect has been more mode
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).
