The study shows that shale production
Since 2014, U.S. shale oil has created a boom in domestic crude oil production. Shale oil comprises more than a third of the onshore production of crude oil in the lower 48 states. As a result, the United States became the world’s largest crude-oil producer, according to the Energy Information Administration .
The report points out that in 2018 the US shale oil industry spent $54 bn on tight oil plays, 70% of which served to offset field declines and 30% to increase production. The Energy Information Agency (EIA) of the USA publishes a monthly Drilling Productivity Report detailing the production and drilling statistics for the 7 shale oil and gas regions of the USA (Figure 1). This post presents an analysis of this data for the Bakken, Permian and Eagle Ford, that combined, account for 89% of US shale oil production. For shale oil production, the exponential curve is not sufficiently flexible, but the hyperbolic curve has the potential to model shale oil production well. The two decline models that were used in this study are the hyperbolic and the stretched exponential decline curves. Oil production from these wells set another record in November, at over 7.6 million bo/d (after upcoming revisions). The over 10 thousand horizontal wells that came online in 2019 contributed half of this supply (3.8 million bo/d), as is visualized by the dark blue area in the graph above.

The over 10 thousand horizontal wells that came online in 2019 contributed half of this supply (3.8 million bo/d), as is visualized by the dark blue area in the graph above. The massive U.S. shale oil production supply is the major fundamental reason for traders to stay bearish about crude oil prices. In addition, bears often cite concerns from the demand side, such

It is perhaps better to think of break-even as a bell-shaped curve, where some wells in a shale play can break even at $30, 50% break even at <$60/bbl (for example), but then some small fraction on the far side of the curve don't even break even when oil prices are at $100/bbl.
The monthly well production data published by the North Dakota State Government will be used to estimate an average decline curve for a shale oil well in the Bakken. We show that the typical decline curve given by the North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources is overly optimistic by comparing the expected average production per field to the realized production.

14 Oct 2019 America's shale boom got the world accustomed to soaring production. Now growth has slowed, and a cloud has formed over the industry.
The massive U.S. shale oil production supply is the major fundamental reason for traders to stay bearish about crude oil prices. In addition, bears often cite concerns from the demand side, such Crude oil caught in a tug of war, US shale may fire up the bulls. US crude production slipped in January to 11.87 million bpd, from a record high in December. The fundamentals of supply and demand in the oil market appear to be heading in a bullish direction. The monthly well production data published by the North Dakota State Government will be used to estimate an average decline curve for a shale oil well in the Bakken. We show that the typical decline curve given by the North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources is overly optimistic by comparing the expected average production per field to the realized production. Using some numerical examples from the Marcellus, I will demonstrate why production declines are not a valid argument against drilling for oil and gas. Defining Decline Curves Simply put, a decline curve is a graph of crude oil or natural gas production over time. It is perhaps better to think of break-even as a bell-shaped curve, where some wells in a shale play can break even at $30, 50% break even at <$60/bbl (for example), but then some small fraction on the far side of the curve don't even break even when oil prices are at $100/bbl. According to a Wall Street Journal breakdown of production costs per barrel for 13 large producers, Saudi Arabia can extract a barrel of crude at US$8.98, just a little bit less than Iran, at US$9.08. To compare, the cost per barrel of U.S. shale comes in at US$23.35. This cost includes taxes, The newest hints of production shortfalls in maturing wells follows a two-year price rout that put the brakes on costly offshore drilling, and a more recent push by oil-company investors for
