Marcellus (PA) & Utica (OH) – update through September 2017
Gas production from these unconventional wells reached a new high in September, just below 20 Bcf/d. Initial productivity increased a lot over the past year. That explains why the 787 wells that started production in first 9 months of 2017 are in September at an average production rate of about 50% higher compared with the 733 wells that started in the same period last year.North Dakota – update through October 2017

Shale oil production has grown strongly in 2017, and I belief that in August it surpassed the previous high in March 2015. This is not yet visible in the above graph, as the production data reported through August is fairly incomplete for recent months, most notably for New Mexico.Eagle Ford – update through September 2017

As the graph shows, oil production in the Texas side of the Permian has grown steeply in the first half of 2017, faster than in any other 6 month period. In August, more than 70% of the total oil production was produced by wells that came online since 2016. The difference with my previous posts on the Permian is quite large, as a significant amount of production was not yet processed by the RRC (and thus had the status ‘pending’).Eagle Ford – update through August 2017
In this “Ultimate Recovery” ( EUR) overview the relationship between production rates, and cumulative production is revealed. Longer laterals and larger proppant volumes have increased the initial production rates in recent years, but their impact on the ensuing decline seems limited.
