North Dakota – update through February 2019

23 / 04 / 2019

January oil production in North Dakota was unchanged from the month before, at 1.4 million barrels of oil per day. In January, which is typically a slow month, just 85 wells started production.

Niobrara (CO & WY) - update through January 2019

17 / 04 / 2019

These interactive presentations contain the latest oil & gas production data, from all 10,287 horizontal wells that started production in Colorado and Wyoming since 2009/2010, through January. Oil production in these 2 states started the year at record production (after revisions), at over 620 thousand bo/d. Both states contributed to the growth in the past 12 months; Colorado with ~20%, and Wyoming even at almost 50% (although from a lower base). Production in the Powder River Basin has been mostly responsible for the latter, and is now at over 120 thousand bo/d.

US - update through December 2018

08 / 04 / 2019

December production from these ~100 thousand horizontal wells was above 6.5 million bo/d, a y-o-y growth of 1.3 million bo/d (after revisions). This was a similar growth rate as a year earlier. Natural gas production increased to ~60 Bcf/d, growing by about 10 Bcf/d during the year, which also matched the growth in the previous year.

Eagle Ford - update through December 2018

04 / 04 / 2019

December oil production, close to 1.3 million bo/d, barely changed y-o-y. Just over 1,800 new horizontal wells were able to counter the ~45% decline in legacy production in 2018. Gas production hovered last year just below 6 Bcf/d.

Permian – update through December 2018

01 / 04 / 2019

December oil production came in at around 3.1 million bo/d (after revisions), 1 million bo/d higher than a year earlier. Close to 4,400 horizontal wells were completed in 2018, 23% more than in 2017. As is represented by the blue area in December 2018, about 2/3rd of December production came from wells that began production in 2018.

Utah – update through January 2019

28 / 03 / 2019

We've just included Utah in our coverage of horizontal drilling in the U.S., bringing the total number of covered states to 12. These 12 states are responsible for 99% of recent horizontal drilling activity based on the Baker Hughes horizontal rig count. Although the absolute amount of oil & gas produced in this state is relatively is low, compared with the other basins you've read about here, the growth rate has been pretty high in the past 2 years. Oil production from horizontal wells was 33 thousand bo/d in January this year, while it was only 14 thousand bo/d 2 years earlier.
