Texas Oil & Gas Drilling Outlook Including Permian Basin and Eagle Ford
Texas oil and gas drilling is forecast to increase 46% to over 7300 wells drilled between 2016 and 2017. The Permian Basin, valued for its geology and low breakeven costs, is expected to drive growth through the forecast.
This report covers Texas oil and gas drilling by Basin. Data is presented in wells drilled, footage, and active drilling rigs, among others.
Basins covered in this study include:
Permian Basin
Eagle Ford Shale
Barnett Shale
Haynesville Shale
Scope of the Report
This report covers the scope, size, and growth of Texas oil and gas drilling including key trends in each basin by well trajectory, resource, county, and sub-region, where applicable. Historical data are provided for 2015 and 2016, with forecasts for 2017 and 2018, with year by year historical market volatility also addressed. Data are provided in wells drilled, footage, and active rigs, among others. Also included is an analysis of the key land acquisitions, infrastructure in the state, drilling permits, drilling rates, and drilling costs.
