EIA Dashboards For November, 2019, Posted

The November, 2019, dashboards have been posted, with projected data through December, 2019.

A lot of takeaways here:

• Bakken: 
• new wells, oil/well continues to increase month-over-month
• new wells: 1,542 bopd, greatly exceeds that of the Permian
• Oasis using these incredible Bakken wells to fund their Permian operations (previously reported)
• new wells: natural gas production continues to increase month-over-month; exceeds that of the Permian
• by the end of the year, North Dakota production will come very close to 1.5 million bopd; data will be released in February, 2020
• Permian:
• new wells, oil/well month-over-month, flat 
• new wells: 793 bopd (51% that of the Bakken)
• that 793 is so low, I needed to triple check it
• new wells: natural gas production flat month-over-month
• Eagle Ford:
• all that talk about the demise of this field appears to be premature
