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).

Lone Star Stories

• Permian Basin Pumping Up the Volume

The Permian Basin dominates Texas oil production, with Martin and Midland Counties leading the charge, producing over 33 million barrels in September alone, despite a 20% year-on-year drop in active rigs. Oil prices have slightly increased to $69.48 per barrel, contributing to falling gas prices in Texas, the lowest in the nation, benefiting holiday travelers.

• Oil Optimism Rises as Dollar Dips and Demand Surges

Oil prices jumped over 3%, boosted by the IEA's higher 2024 demand forecast and a weakening dollar following the U.S. Federal Reserve's hint at reduced borrowing costs. The spike in oil prices was further supported by a significant drawdown in U.S. crude inventories, despite the European Central Bank's stance on maintaining high borrowing rates.

Reader Question of the Day

What role is quantum computing anticipated to play in the future of oil exploration and data processing?

Quantum computing is poised to transform oil exploration by rapidly analyzing geological data, helping to identify potential oil reserves more accurately. This technology's ability to process vast amounts of data quickly is like having a supercharged detective, speeding up the search for oil and making it more precise.

In data processing, quantum computing will excel at handling the large datasets from seismic surveys, improving the modeling of underground structures. This enhanced capability will lead to more accurate predictions of where oil is located, akin to solving a complex puzzle at lightning speed. This advancement promises to make oil exploration more efficient and cost-effective.
