Decline Curve Analysis in Oil and Gas: Production Data Meaning
Learn what decline curve analysis means in oil and gas, how it relates to production records, and why it matters for operator and well evaluation.
Tracking Active Drilling Rigs Without Expensive GPS Feeds
Baker Hughes tells you how many rigs are in the Permian. It doesn't tell you where. By combining public drilling permits with state-reported spud dates, EnergyNetWatch infers active rig locations at a fraction of the cost of $75,000/yr GPS telemetry feeds.
