Similar as in Texas, lease production is allocated over individual wells in order to estimate individual well production.

For these presentations, I used data gathered from the sources listed below. Next week I will have a post with the September production from North Dakota. On the Get the Data the latest production data is again available. If you switch to gas, you can see that the same wells also produced on average 286 MMcf of natural gas. I estimate that their cumulative production will be in the range of 200 -250 kbo once they reach a production level of 30 bo/d.

The red line marks the performance of the 1284 wells that started in Q3 2016 after 11 months, they recovered just over 100 kbo. Also here I’ve selected the major oil basins, and the wells are grouped by the quarter in which production started. This “Ultimate recovery” overview shows the clear relationship between cumulative production, and production rates, over time. The ‘Advanced Insights’ presentation is displayed below: As the bottom graph shows, the average cumulative production from wells that started early 2016 is now already as much (~135 kbo) as from wells that started up to 4 years earlier, due to improved initial productivity. I’ve preselected the oil basins (see the “Basin” selection). In the “Well quality” tab the production curves are shown for all these horizontal wells. Remarkably, the gas output from wells that started before 2013 is even growing, as some of them are being refracked (especially in the Haynesville). This excludes production from Ohio and West Virginia, which both do not regularly post new data and are therefore deselected. If you switch to gas, you can see that gas production has continuously grown since 2010, and that in 2017 the growth rate is faster than in the previous 2 years.

Oil production from wells that started in 2017 (the pink area in the above graph) contributed already more than 30% of total production in July (1.3 vs 4.0 million bo/d). Since the low in September last year, output has risen again, and is nearing the previous high in March 2015.

Now that the production data I have for Texas is more complete (by including the ‘pending production’ reports), we can get a more complete picture of how oil production from horizontal wells has developed in 2017 in most of the US shale basins. Cumulative oil and gas production from these wells reached 7.4 Gbo and 76.9 Tcf. This interactive presentation contains the latest oil & gas production data from 78,491 horizontal wells in 10 US states, through July.
