EIA monthly petroleum production report: link here. It really is amazing: three states and the GOM are the only real plays that matter any more. And North Dakota in third place behind New Mexico. The surface area involved and number of rigs, North Dakota vs New Mexico, in fascinating, to say the least. But Texas? Amazing.
- New Mexico rig count: 83.
- North Dakota rig count: 27.
- Texas rig count: 273
Back of envelope:
- 5.0 million bbls; 273 rigs
- 1.4 million bbls; 83 rigs
- 1.0 million bbls; 27 rigs

The Permian has been a leader in domestic oil and gas production for decades but the Shale Revolution made it a global superstar. In the past few years, thousands of miles of new crude oil, associated gas, and produced-water gathering systems have been installed in West Texas and southeastern New Mexico, as have dozens of new gas processing plants and a number of new takeaway pipelines for oil, gas, and NGLs. Lately, there has also been a lot of consolidation among Permian midstream companies, mostly with the aims of increasing scale, improving reliability, and directing more hydrocarbons through the combined companies’ gathering, processing, and takeaway assets. In today’s RBN blog, we continue our review of recent, major pipeline-company combinations in the Permian and the benefits participants expect to realize from them.
