US - update through March 2019

17 / 07 / 2019

Shale oil production in these states grew by 1.5 million bo/d last year to over 6.8 million bo/d, as is visible in the graph above. Although preliminary data has the first few months of 2019 down a little, I expect that March set another record, after revisions.

Eagle Ford - update through March 2019

08 / 07 / 2019

March oil production came in at about 1.3 million bo/d, after upcoming revisions, 5% higher than a year earlier. Natural gas production is still hovering at a level close to 6 Bcf/d (switch 'Product' to 'gas').

Permian – update through March 2019

04 / 07 / 2019

Oil production from horizontal wells in the Permian set another record in March, at over 3.2 million bo/d, even before upward revisions. As the blue areas indicate, in March more than 2/3rd of production came from wells that began production since 2018.Gas production also set a new record at close to 11 Bcf/d (switch "Product" to gas), although not all of it is wanted due to sometimes negative pricing.

Marcellus (PA) – update through April 2019

01 / 07 / 2019

This interactive presentation contains the latest gas (and a little oil) production data, from all 8,915 horizontal wells in Pennsylvania that started producing from 2010 onward, through April. With March revisions in, it has become clear that another record was set, at 18.4 Bcf/d. April natural gas production was at a similar level. New wells recover on average more than 4 Bcf of gas in the first 2 years on production ('Well quality' tab). It took each of the ~1,300 horizontal wells, that began production in 2013, more than 5 years to reach that level.

Fayetteville (AR) – update through March 2019

25 / 06 / 2019

While we were waiting for some revision data for Pennsylvania, we finished adding Arkansas to our ShaleProfile data platform, which this post is all about. Relative to the other states we cover, not much shale oil & gas is produced in Arkansas nowadays. However, it is home to the Fayetteville shale gas basin, which produced in its heyday close to 3 Bcf/d of natural gas. In March this year this was down to 1.3 Bcf/d.

North Dakota – update through April 2019

19 / 06 / 2019

Oil production in North Dakota stayed flat in April m-o-m, at 1.39 million bo/d, just below the record high in January (1.4 million bo/d). Natural gas production continued the trend upwards and reached 2.9 Bcf/d. After the slow winter months, 106 wells came online in April, slightly more than a year earlier (95)
