Daily Data Dump

The good, the bad, and the ugly of Texas oil production.

Best of the Best 🏆️

Every week, we sift through our proprietary data to find the best performers in Texas.

Never Quit 😢

Similarly, we find the oil producers who need a little help (i.e. call Barrel Hub).

If you’re wondering how we get this information, we’re under strict orders from the CIA not to disclose that (but if you want to know you can go here).

Reader Question of the Day

What research is being conducted on using microorganisms to improve oil recovery efficiency?

Scientists are exploring some tiny helpers to get more oil out of the ground—microorganisms! These little creatures can do things like changing the oil’s viscosity, making it flow more easily. It’s like turning a thick, sticky syrup into water that can move freely. This process is known as Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR), and it’s like using nature’s own tools to help get to hard-to-reach oil.

Researchers are studying different types of microorganisms to see which ones are the best helpers in oil recovery. They’re also figuring out the ideal conditions for these tiny creatures to work effectively. It’s all about teaming up with nature to make oil recovery more efficient and environmentally friendly, ensuring we make the most out of every drop.
