Drilling: Market Forecast for US Shale Gas - Why it will be so easy to get a well drilled in 2011
Spears and Associates forecast of drilling activity in US shale gas plays points strongly to a decline in drilling in the second half of 2010 due to low gas prices and high drilling/completion costs.
Harder to measure are the hedged gas price positions held by many E&P companies and the impossible-to-quantify drive to hold expensively acquired acreage. These two factors are sustaining high levels of gas well drilling today. Spears will talk about the firm’s drilling forecast, including its basin-by-basin drilling/completion cost index, plus the firm’s census of frac horsepower additions that promise to overwhelm the market with frac spreads in 2011.
