EIA publishes Drilling Productivity Report
Published by Louise Mulhall,

Oilfield Technology,
The Drilling Productivity Report uses recent data on the total number of drilling rigs in operation along with estimates of drilling productivity and estimated changes in production from existing oil and natural gas wells to provide estimated changes in oil and natural gas production for seven key regions. EIA's approach does not distinguish between oil-directed rigs and gas-directed rigs because once a well is completed it may produce both oil and gas; more than half of the wells produce both.
While shale resources and production are found in many US regions, at this time EIA is focusing on the seven most prolific areas, which are located in the Lower 48 states. These seven regions accounted for 92% of domestic oil production growth and all domestic natural gas production growth during 2011-14.

Choosing the right hose
Jonathan Petit, Trelleborg Oil and Marine, argues that, amid the surge in global oil demand, with Ship-to-Ship (STS) operations growing in popularity, choosing the right marine hoses will play a key role in delivering the cost efficiencies required to take full advantage of this opportunity.
