The same reader also made a comment at the most recent site regarding the Art Berman article addressing the same subject:
So today's report indicated DUCs were down by 145 to 7,298....902 of those were in Appalachia or the Haynesville, so most of the rest were oil wells...
But here's the kicker: there were 518 completions in December; 118 gas and 400 oil...so that article's benchmark to hold oil production steady is already being met...
So, "Op-Ed Or Fact" is already a moot question...
EIA dashboards:
- EIA pdf, Bakken: https://www.eia.gov/petroleum/drilling/pdf/bakken.pdf
- EIA, pdf, Permian: https://www.eia.gov/petroleum/drilling/pdf/permian.pdf
- EIA, pdf, Eagle Ford: https://www.eia.gov/petroleum/drilling/pdf/eagleford.pdf
For the December, 2020, "dashboards," see this post.
This was the December, 2020, dashboard for the Bakken:
Rigs, DUCs, and Managing Assets
This is the most current "dashboard" for the Bakken. I will post the Permian and Eagle Ford dashboards later and at a stand-alone post.
I'm traveling; and, limited resources (battery and time).
The EIA monthly drilling productivity report for the Bakken:
It should be noted that February is the worst month for drilling and fracking in the Bakken. Actually, it's the worst month for doing anything in the Bakken, although First Lutheran Church hosts its annual Lutefisk dinner every February. The church will probably do it differently this year but my hunch is that lutefisk pretty much neutralizes "cold" viruses.
