Oil and Gas Data Methodology
These articles explain how EnergyNetWatch thinks about source handling, data normalization, analytics, and the limits of public oil and gas data.
Why Oil and Gas Data Is Hard to Normalize Across States (2026)
See why oil and gas data normalization is difficult across states, source schemas, identifiers, reporting cadence, permits, and production.
Read articleMethodology notes on source normalization, decline curve analysis, rig tracking, and public oil and gas data caveats.
- Why is oil and gas data hard to normalize?
- How should public samples be interpreted?
- What source caveats matter before running analysis?

Decline Curve Analysis: DCA, EUR, Excel, Software, and Production Data (2026)
Practical decline curve analysis guide covering DCA formulas, EUR, Excel workflows, software, production data, and quality gates.
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.
