Random Update Regarding Projected Number Of Oil & Gas Permits To Be Issued In 2015 -- January 29, 2015

This is way too early to be doing this, January is not even over yet, but a) I was curious; b) I was bored; and, c) January 31 falls on the weekend skewing the numbers.

The numbers may be slightly off, but probably not by much.

On January 29, in each of the designated years, this is the number of oil and gas permits that had been issued by January 29th, the raw, actual number of issued permits as of January 29th:

• 2015 (this year): 241
• 2014 (last year): 253
• 2013 (the year before last year): 218
• 2012 (the year before that): 167

Based on that data, if the number of permits were issued at the same rate, the number of permits projected to be issued each calendar year as of January 29th:

• 2015: 3,033
• 2014: 3,184
• 2013: 2,744
• 2012: 2,102

The actual number of permits issued for the full calendar year:

• 2015: --
• 2014 (last year): 3,013
• 2013 (the year before last year): 2,671
• 2012 (the year before that): 2,521

Just some idle numbers on a Thursday evening.
