Don't forget that some wells on the confidential list have not even been spudded yet. Take Brigham's Mark 4-9TFH for example.
ReplyDeleteYes, you are correct. The number of wells/permits on the confidential list is simply one data point.
DeleteI believe the recent record for number of wells coming off the confidential list was 181, or thereabouts, back in November, 2012.
