- that's almost a difference of 25,000 bbls (24,996 to be exact)
- the increase represents almost a 3% increase (2.626% to be exact)
- the delta between 1 million and 977,051 = 22,949

The drilling rig count was up slightly but well completions were up sharply from 70 to 200. There are still about 50 wells shut in due to Tioga gas plant conversion in an attempt to minimize flaring. In March, 2 -3 days at the beginning with temperatures well below zero, and then later 7 - 12 days with winds too strong for completion work, and then 8 inches of snow on the last day of the month.Wells waiting to be completed: some wells are waiting to be completed due to weather-related issues. I don't think there is any shortage of frack spreads right now. The big reason for wells waiting to be completed, I think, is due to pad drilling. Generally, operators wait until all wells on a pad are drilled to total depth before they frack all the wells. There are exceptions.
About 635 wells waiting to be completed, a decrease of 15 from previous month.
