Many people are unaware of the number of active drilling rigs around them., thinking, that oil is being produced somewhere far away, or somehow by itself. So how many rigs are active in the US? 10 or 100, maybe 500? Which state is the most active in mining, Florida or California, maybe Hawaii?
For the reason that, that at work I often refer to oil production data, I think many will be interested in looking at the big picture. Today we will understand the number of drilling rigs operating in the USA, and in oil production by state.
1. First of all, I will make a reservation, all statistics are exclusively about oil, I don't touch gas statistics at the moment. The second caveat is that, that I am writing the average data for the period from 1 January to 30 May of this year.
2. so, Let's first figure out the most productive states. The largest oil producer is Texas, worth noting, that Texas is split into two zones – “mainland” And “sea”, the first has a monthly output 90 million barrels, Second – 41. In second place is North Dakota – 30 million, in third and fourth places California and Alaska – 17 And 16 mln, respectively. Oklahoma in fifth place – 10 million.
3. Well, some interesting numbers, for example, Florida also produces oil, and you knew about it? They mine there a month 200 thousand. barrels, and the smallest mining state – Virginia, there are mined about 1 000 barrels per month. And in total, oil is produced in 31 state in scope 250 000 000 barrels per month.
4. And how many oil rigs are there in the United States?? Total for May 2014 years in the USA are active 2 011 Towers, and further 198 is in an inactive state i.e.. on repair, in the process of inspection or in the process of movement. By the way,, Total in the world – 3 580 active drilling rigs (excluding RF). In Latin America – 419, in Europe – 135, In Africa 125, in the Middle East 372, In Canada 355, в России – 781.
5. Texas boasts the largest number of towers, 892 Tower, in second place is Oklahoma – 193 Tower, then comes North Dakota – 175, New mexico – 89, and Colorado – 65. Because. we mentioned above the most productive states of California, then by the way, There is a 44 Tower, and in Alaska – 9.
6. What is the most productive field in the USA? There are two, both are in Texas, Eagle Ford и Permian Basin. In May, the Permian Basin field was 470 Towers, а на Eagle Ford 223.
Who is interested in something about oil production, – questions in comments.
Curious, Open data can be found .
