Drilling Productivity Report

(Tue, 21 Jan 2020) The <em>Drilling Productivity Report</em> (DPR) uses recent data on the total number of drilling rigs in operation along with estimates of drilling productivity and estimated changes in production from existing oil and natural gas wells to provide estimated changes in oil and natural gas production for seven key regions.

The effect of oil prices on natural gas production

(Wed, 15 Jan 2020) Depending on the nature of oil and natural gas resources specific to particular regions, changes in future oil prices can produce very different results. Relatively higher oil prices push investment toward oil projects and away from natural gas projects, and relatively lower oil prices typically produce the opposite effect.
