Five New Permits; Two Permits Renewed; What's This About Peak Oil? -- June 30, 2025

Locator: 48627B.

Peak oil? Say What? Charles Kennedy is reporting that US crude oil output hits record in April. Wow. Link here. The EIA page shows 13.468 million bopd. US field production of crude oil has exceeded 13 million bopd for the past 21 months with one exception, January, 2024, 12.554 million bopd.

U.S. crude oil production surged to an all-time high of 13.24 million barrels per day (bpd) in April, according to newly released data from the Energy Information Administration.
The increase of 0.4% over March volumes reinforces America’s standing as the world’s top oil producer and follows months of steady gains driven by improved drilling efficiencies and stronger prices.
Texas led the charge with an output of 5.7 million bpd, up 1.6% from March, while New Mexico, the second-largest producing state, posted a 0.7% increase to 1.95 million bpd. Gulf of Mexico volumes dipped slightly, but the national gain offset offshore slippage.

The Amazing CLR Harms Wells In The Antelope Sanish And Elm Tree -- New Wells Are Just Starting To Report -- Older Wells Are Coming Back On Line -- Monday, April 21, 205

Locator: 48416HARMS.

Note: in a long note like this, there will be content and typographical errors.

Updates

Production for all "Harms" wells has been updated "below the fold." It's too early to tell if there will be much of a halo effect but the new wells reporting are setting records.

Be very careful going through the data. Many of the NDIC file numbers are very similar and many wells have had name changes since the original permits.

The "Harms" wells that were off line are just now being reported that they are coming back on line. The following "Harms" wells have just started reporting production or have changed status:
