MTSkiBum 1,594 Posted May 19, 2022 The pain will continue for a while. New production is unable to ramp up fast enough not enough workers or equipment to drill the amount of wells needed to meet the demand. Using the power of hind-site, the way this could have been prevented was to subsidize the oil industry to keep drilling even when the price of oil was under 50 dollars a bbl in 2020. But that would not have sit well with the public back in 2020. Due to the lag it takes in getting wells producing we are feeling the effects of past decisions. All of which were market driven. None of this was Trump's fault because it would have been stupid with the knowledge we had at the time to subsidize the oil industry. The reason why recent wells matter so much is because fracked wells lose production quickly. A fracked well that is 5 years old only produces a fraction of the oil of a newer well. This is why losing some of those "fresher" 2020 wells hurt our supply so much. https://www.wsj.com/articles/frackings-secret-problemoil-wells-arent-producing-as-much-as-forecast-11546450162 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they control the output quite often too. How a well is completed matters for long term production, I was talking about the oil producing wells in West Texas, New Mexico, and North Dakota. This is where the majority of our oil production comes from in the country. A traditionally completed oil well in offshore of Louisiana for example produces much longer with a slower drop off in volume. It is good to here that gas wells in the North East produce for a long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
