Bloomberg is reporting:
Drillers in oil and gas fields from Texas to Pennsylvania have yet to
turn on the spigots at 4,731 wells they’ve drilled, keeping 322,000
barrels a day underground, a Bloomberg Intelligence analysis shows.
That’s almost as much as OPEC member Libya has been pumping this year.
The number of wells waiting to be hydraulically fractured, known as the
fracklog, has tripled in the past year as companies delay work in order
to avoid pumping more oil while prices are low. It’s kept crude off the
market with storage tanks the fullest since 1930. The fracklog may slow a
recovery as firms quickly finish wells at the first sign of higher
prices.
300,000 bbls. That's per day.
