Total production
Tight oil production in the Eagle Ford came in at about 1.1 million b/d in April 2023 (after upcoming revisions, horizontal wells only). April data is only currently available for 90% of the wells, which explains the apparent drop you’re seeing for April in the chart above. Natural gas production for that month was about 6.6 Bcf/d.
In the first 3 months of this year, almost 10% more horizontal wells came online compared with the same period last year (379 vs 347).
Drilling Activity
However, since the steep fall in hydrocarbon pricing in the 2nd half of last year, drilling activity is falling again and as of last week 58 rigs were drilling horizontal wells. This was down from 74 rigs less than a year ago (source: Baker Hughes), which constitutes the biggest percentage decline among the 3 major US shale basins.
