Efficiency Stagnating in Key Shale Basins

EERC down for fourth straight month By Richard Rostad, analyst, Oil & Gas 360 Oil & Gas 360 has released its latest Effective Rig Count, evaluating the state of drilling activity and reported production from the major shale basins. The Effective Rig Count fell once again in March, with an effective 51 rigs coming offline in the month. The major shale

Frac Holiday Tanks Shale Efficiencies

EERC drops sharply EnerCom has released its latest Effective Rig Count, linking the state of drilling activity and the reported production from the major shale basins. The Effective Rig Count dropped by 83 in December, meaning the Effective Rig Count now stands at 2,762. This means that the new production in December would have required 2,762 rigs from January 2014

Effective Rig Count Falls on Diminished Efficiency

Total EERC down 13 EnerCom has released its latest Effective Rig Count, examining the state of drilling activity correlated to production in major shale basins. The Effective Rig Count fell this month, dropping by 13 to 2,747 effective rigs. Both efficiencies and reported rig counts fell in September, reinforcing the decline in the EERC. The past two months have seen

EERC falls to 2,755 EnerCom has released its latest Effective Rig Count, examining the state of drilling activity correlated to production in major shale basins. The Effective Rig Count fell to 2,755 in August, continuing the decline seen last month. The drop in total EERC was due to declining efficiencies, as reported rig counts rose slightly in August. These two

EnerCom Effective Rig Count Rises to 2,826 – But Permian Efficiency Gains Tap the Brakes

Current operations 3.15 times more productive than those of January 2014 EnerCom has released the latest Effective Rig Count, examining the state of drilling activity in major shale basins. The EERC rose in April, reaching 2,826 rigs. This indicates it would take 2,826 rigs from January 2014 to match the current activity level, due to the significant improvements in techniques
