Niobrara (CO & WY) – update through September 2018
These interactive presentations contain the latest oil & gas production data, from all 9,508 horizontal wells that started production in Colorado and Wyoming since 2009/2010, through September. Since the last post, we’ve also added several other regions in these 2 states, and they are included here. In August a new record was set, at over 0.5 million bo/d. After revisions are in I believe September will show a higher level again. Weld County produces about 75% of this output (group production by ‘County’ to see this).Marcellus (PA) – update through September 2018
Gas production from horizontal wells came in higher again in September, at 17.4 Bcf/d. Output has grown by more than 10% in the 4 preceding months, driven mostly by an increase in well completions; In both August and September, 107 wells started production, the highest since the end of 2014.North Dakota – update through September 2018
Oil production in North Dakota jumped to 1,359 kbo/d in September, a month-on-month increase of more than 5%, which again set a new record. Just over 150 wells were brought into production, the highest number in more than 3 years. The year-to-date number of new producers is now almost the same as for the full 2017 (933 vs. 992).US – update through July 2018
Oil and gas production from horizontal wells kept setting new records through the first 7 months of this year. The 5,600 new producers contributed ~2.2 million bo/d and 10.4 Bcf/d in July, versus 4,600 new producers in the same period last year (which contributed 1.6 million bo/d and 9.1 Bcf/d in July last year).Eagle Ford – update through July 2018
In July 228 horizontal wells started production in the Eagle Ford, the highest number in more than 3 years. Although the graph above shows a dip in production in July, this is partially because of reporting lag, and I expect that when these wells have a full month on production in August total output will show a bump.
Permian – update through July 2018
Output has continued to rise fast in the first half year, adding over 400 thousand barrels of oil per day, from horizontal wells. The apparent drop in July is as usual due to incomplete data. As the graph above shows, more than 75% of oil production in July came from the ~5.7 thousand wells that started since the beginning of 2017.Marcellus (PA) – update through August 2018
Gas production from horizontal wells in this state set another record in August, at 17 Bcf/d. An important factor behind this was a large number of wells that were brought online during the month; 108, the highest in almost 4 years. Almost 25% of total gas production in August came from just 265 wells, that each produced at a rate higher than 10 MMcf/d.North Dakota – update through August 2018
Oil production in North Dakota came in at 1,291 kbo/d in August, after a month-on-month rise of 1.7%, setting again a new record. As the graph shows, the 782 wells that started production in 2018 contributed already to more than 1/3rd of total production in August. They produced more than the ~10k wells that started before 2015.US – update through June 2018
US shale oil and gas production reached new highs in recent months. Our new post covers that latest data through March this year.Eagle Ford – update through June 2018
Despite minor improvements in well productivity, production growth in the Eagle Ford is lower than seen in the other oily shale basins. See our latest post on the most recent data.
