Oil--EIA Drilling Productivity Report: Production Per Rig Still Heading Up

Remember, these are forecasts for the current month and the month ahead.
From the Energy Information Administration:

Rig-weighted average	374	387	13		2,016	2,138	122

The Drilling Productivity Report 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. EIA's approach does not distinguish between oil-directed rigs and gas-directed rigs because once a well is completed it may produce both oil and gas; more than half of the wells produce both....MORE
