Ja det ser litt små skummelt ut med en sånn nedgang. Er nok ikke en stor kø med kapital som vil inn helt enda heller. Men plutselig en morgen så er den der
Freeman highlighted two key trends – “frac efficiency” or the number of
monthly wells completed per frac crew has “dramatically” increased from ~2.9x prepandemic and “skyrocketed to roughly 4.3x” post pandemic yet “On the other hand, post-pandemic rig efficiency has taken a slight, but material, step back versus its prepandemic average. Looking at the chart below, pre-pandemic rig efficiency averaged 1.28 rigs per-well drilled, falling to 1.16x post-pandemic.” We asked Freeman if the increasing frac efficiency and decreasing rig efficiency is linked to private operators adding back rigs more than publics (ie. small operators not as likely to do pad drilling, etc)? but publics had built up more DUCs and are running them down so frac
efficiency is good? Freeman confirmed that is the key reason for these trends. This
is good for markets being able to have visibility to how quickly US can grow its oil.
The public companies have been working down DUCs and have to increase drilling
to rebuild DUCs. And public companies provide regular updates and guidance on
their drilling program. Its why there should be visibility to how quickly and sustainably
US oil production can grow in 2022.
