Shale Oil Production Forecast

Shale production, which had been growing by nearly 1.25 mb/d/yr dropped by about 0.5 mb/d, a reversal of 1.5 mb/d from expectations (EIA) which contributed to the rebalancing of the market, albeit.

Shale oil production forecast. Crude-oil production from seven major U.S. shale plays is forecast to climb by 22,000 barrels a day in February to 9.2 million barrels a day, according to a report from the Energy Information. • Shale oil production has been accelerating in US, growing from 111,000 barrels per day in 2004 to 553,000 barrels per day in 2011 (equivalent to a growth rate of around 26% per year). As a result, US oil imports are forecast this year to fall to their lowest levels for over 25 years. • Estimates by the US Energy Information. Oil and natural gas from deep shale formations are transforming the United States economy and its energy outlook. Back in 2005, the US Energy Information Administration published projections of United States natural gas supply that stressed the need to develop an import infrastructure (1): by 2025, imports would account for almost one-third of United States consumption.

US shale was expected to grow by 650,000 barrels a day this year before the coronavirus outbreak wiped out forecasts for global oil demand, triggering one of the steepest oil price declines on record.

The US shale production decline is likely to continue, despite a bounce back in demand since April, the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.. The U.S. rig count is at its lowest since 2005; only 176 oil rigs are currently active nation-wide. Drilling permits in July dropped to their lowest level since September 2010, according to Rystad Energy. The last time the agency's forward growth forecast for shale oil was lower was January 2017, when the growth rate was pegged at 2,000 b/d and total shale oil output was supposed to reach 4.542 million b/d. The EIA sees total US oil production at 9.156 million b/d in February and 9.174 million b/d in March.

Business US shale oil forecasts too optimistic, even IEA agrees. The fracking of hard-to-reach oil reserves has helped the US regain its crown as the world's top crude oil producer. The United States will account for the overwhelming share of global oil production growth, at 85%, by 2030. Figure 1.

EIA AEO2019 reference case forecast of US oil production by source, 2012–2050 Oil prices started strong at $61/b in January 2020. Prices plummeted in the second quarter, with one day in April even closing at negative $37/b. Demand for oil has dropped because of the coronavirus pandemic. The EIA forecast that oil prices will average $43/b in the second half of 2020 and $50/b in 2021. The EIA expects U.S. shale oil production to drop next month to 8.526 million barrels per day in the seven most prolific shale basins in the United States, according to new data published on.

Oil 2019, the annual IEA outlook for global oil markets, examines the key issues in demand, supply, refining and trade to 2024. This year, the report covers the following themes: a changed supply picture led by the rise of the United States in world markets thanks to rapidly-growing shale oil production, as it becomes a net exporter of crude oil and products; supply growth in the non-OPEC. On an annual average basis, EIA expects U.S. crude oil production to fall from an average of 12.2 million b/d in 2019 to 11.4 million b/d in 2020 and 11.1 million b/d in 2021. U.S. regular gasoline retail prices averaged $2.18 per gallon (gal) in August, largely unchanged from the average in July but 44 cents/gal lower than at the same time. U.S. crude oil production from seven major shale formations is expected to decline by about 56,000 bbl/d in August to about 7.49 million bbl/d, the lowest in the two years, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said in a monthly forecast on July 13. Bakken oil production forecast to top 1 million barrels per day next month; Production, depletion trends are keys to predicting natural gas and oil production; Drilling efficiency is a key driver of oil and natural gas production; Drilling often results in both oil and natural gas production; Rethinking rig count as a predictor of natural gas.

The brokerage said it expects shale oil production to grow by 0.7 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2020, down from its previous forecast of 1 million bpd, and below 1.1 million bpd in 2019. Goldman Sachs put out a report on November 11 that said U.S. production growth could drop to just 0.6 mb/d, which is notable since the investment bank has often painted bullish scenarios on shale. Global oil-producing nations are expected to reduce production by as much as 19.5 million barrels per day, but those cuts are being implemented slowly and in some cases will not start for weeks. The EIA has forecast declining output from the Eagle Ford in the past four months of productivity reports. Production in the Permian is forecast to grow 75,000 b/d from August to September, accounting for all but 10,000 b/d of total US shale oil growth over the period, the EIA said.

Domestic shale production may recover somewhat in the next couple of months then decline again, pulling U.S. shale oil output down to 6.1 million barrels per day by year-end 2021, a 27% drop from.
