EIA Estimates USA Crude Oil Output Hit All Time High In December

by Andreas Exarheas|Rigzone Staff|Monday, February 12, 2024

In its latest short term energy outlook (STEO), which was released last week, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimated that U.S. crude oil production reached “an all-time high in December of more than 13.3 million barrels per day”.

The EIA noted in the STEO, however, that crude oil production fell to 12.6 million barrels per day in January “because of shut-ins related to cold weather”.

“We forecast production will return to almost 13.3 million barrels per day in February but then decrease slightly through the middle of 2024 and will not exceed the December 2023 record until February 2025,” the EIA said in the STEO.

In its latest STEO, the EIA highlighted that U.S. crude oil supply averaged 12.93 million barrels per day in 2023, comprising 10.64 million barrels per day from Lower 48 states, excluding the Gulf of Mexico, 1.87 million barrels per day from the Federal Gulf of Mexico, and 0.43 million barrels per day from Alaska.

The organization outlined that the country’s crude oil output averaged 12.63 million barrels per day in the first quarter of 2023, 12.75 million barrels per day in the second quarter, 13.07 million barrels per day in the third quarter, and 13.29 million barrels per day in the fourth quarter.


Looking ahead, the EIA projected in the STEO that U.S. crude oil production would average 13.10 million barrels per day in 2024, comprising 10.75 million barrels per day from Lower 48 states, excluding the Gulf of Mexico, 1.94 million barrels per day from the Federal Gulf of Mexico, and 0.41 million barrels per day from Alaska.

U.S. output is expected to average 13.03 million barrels per day in the first quarter of this year, 13.12 million barrels per day in the second quarter, 13.06 million barrels per day in the third quarter, and 13.18 million barrels per day in the fourth quarter, the report outlined.

Shell begins production from Rydberg project in US Gulf of Mexico

By NS Energy Staff Writer 23 Feb 2024

Rydberg is a conventional oil development located in ultra-deepwater in the US, planned to be developed as a subsea tieback to the Shell-operated Appomattox project, with two production wells with a single insulated 12-mile (19km) flowline with a dynamic umbilical

Shell Offshore, a subsidiary of British oil and gas company Shell, has commenced production at Rydberg, a subsea tie-back to the Appomattox production hub in the Gulf of Mexico.

Rydberg is a conventional oil development located in ultra-deepwater in the US, with the Final investment decision (FID) approved in 2022.

The project is located within Mississippi Canyon in the Norphlet Corridor of the US Gulf of Mexico, around 75m (120km) off the coast of Louisiana, in a water depth of about 7,450ft.

The project is producing an estimated 16,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) at peak.

Rydberg is located in the leases that are operated by Shell, which owns an 80% working interest in the leases while CNOOC has a working interest of 20%.

Rydberg will be developed as a subsea tieback to the Shell-operated Appomattox project, with two production wells with a single insulated 12-mile (19km) flowline with a dynamic umbilical.

Shell deep water executive vice president Rich Howe said: “Rydberg will further boost production in the Norphlet Corridor at Appomattox, which is consistently one of our highest-producing assets.

“As we meet the energy demands of today and the future, we will continue to mature the best opportunities for growth in the Gulf of Mexico.”

Shell was the first operator to bring an asset online in the Norphlet Corridor with Appomattox development, which lies in Mississippi Canyon block 392 and straddles Blocks 391 and 348.

Appomattox project is jointly owned by Shell with 79%, which is also the operator and CNOOC Petroleum Offshore USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of CNOOC with 21%.

Rydberg’s current recoverable resource volumes are estimated at 38 million boe.

The project’s resource volume estimate is currently classified as 2P, under the Society of Petroleum Engineers’ Resource Classification System.

Also, the estimated peak production and current estimated recoverable resources presented above are 100% total gross figures.

Shell claims that its production in the US Gulf of Mexico has the lowest GHG intensity in the world, compared to other IOGP oil and gas-producing members.

Derniers chiffres mensuels de l'EIA pour la production de décembre dernier.

La production est restée stable, passant de 13'319 kb/j à 13'315 kb/j, soit une diminution de 4 kb/j. La production offshore a diminué de 10 kb/j à 1'862 kb/j ce qui fait que la production onshore a augmenté de 6 kb/j. Sur les 5 derniers mois, la production onshore a augmenté de 463 kb/j. Les estimations hebdomadaires étaient à 13'200 kb/j, une sous-estimation de 115 kb/j

Sur les 12 derniers mois (déc. 2022-déc. 2023), la production US a augmenté de 1177 kb/j.

L'année 2023 est donc une nouvelle année record pour la production US, surpassant la précédente qui était 2019. La production offshore est revenue à son niveau pré-covid, et la production onshore est ~600kb/j au-dessus de 2019.

Derniers chiffres mensuels de l'EIA pour la production de janvier dernier.

La production a fortement diminué, passant de 13'295 kb/j à 12''533 kb/j, soit une diminution de 762 kb/j. La production offshore a diminué de 77 kb/j à 1'1752 kb/j ce qui fait que la production onshore a chuté de 685 kb/j. Sur les 5 derniers mois, la production onshore a diminué de 370 kb/j. Les estimations hebdomadaires étaient à 13'025 kb/j, une sur-estimation de 492 kb/j

Sur les 12 derniers mois (janv. 2023-janv. 2024), la production US a diminué de 35 kb/j.

La production US en janvier a été visiblement fortement impactée par des conditions météorologiques (surtout le onshore), ce qui en fait un mois pas du tout représentatif de la production US actuelle. En février, ça devrait se rétablir.

U.S. Crude Production To Decline In 2024 As Shale Activity Stalls

By Alex Kimani - Apr 11, 2024,

- High decline rates for shale wells usually set in soon after commissioning.

-The U.S. oil rig count is currently 20% below its post-pandemic peak after flatlining for the past six months.

-The EIA agrees with StanChart’s assessment and has predicted that production will continue to fall in the second and third quarters of 2024 before rebounding in 2025.

Derniers chiffres mensuels de l'EIA pour la production de février dernier.

La production est remontée à son niveau de décembre dernier, passant de 12'576 kb/j à 13'154 kb/j, soit une augmentation de 578 kb/j. La production offshore a augmenté de 53 kb/j à 1'800 kb/j ce qui fait que la production onshore a augmenté de 525 kb/j. Sur les 5 derniers mois, la production onshore a diminué de 104 kb/j. Les estimations hebdomadaires étaient à 13'300 kb/j, une sur-estimation de 146 kb/j

Sur les 12 derniers mois (fev. 2023-fev. 2024), la production US a augmenté de 622 kb/j.

Après l'impact météo sur la production de janvier, la production US est revenu à son niveau "normal". Pour l'instant, rien de très particulier dans ce rapport, mais les rapports hebdomadaires semblent montrer une stagnation de la production US sur les mois de mars-avril, voir une diminution. C'est surtout le prochain rapport mensuel qui va être intéressant.
