Monthly DUC Spreadsheet: Bakken Drilled, Completed, DUCs -- July, 2021, Data

Updates

August 17, 2021: two screenshots taken from the NDIC; the numbers vary a bit. I assume some numbers are "preliminary"; some are final.

A huge "thank you" to the reader who sends this to me every month.  

The chart begins for December, 2013, then monthly through July, 2021. 

The plague year, March, 2020 - February, 2021, in bold. 

DUCs can't increase if drilling doesn't increase. 

How fast can shale "turn"? From ninety-nine wells drilled in January, 2020, down to eighteen wells only six months later.

And, yet, North Dakota total oil production "maintained."
