Daily Bulletin

Futures Curve

Lone Star Stories

The U.S. shale oil industry is witnessing a decline in drilling activity due to increasing costs, challenging regulatory environment, and uncertainty over demand. This slowdown may tighten supply and impact oil prices, but weak demand forecasts, influenced by central banks' monetary policies and potential recession fears, complicate the outlook.

Despite a contraction in Texas' energy-led economy, optimism persists due to the state's historical robust growth, largely driven by the oil and gas industry. However, caution arises from recent declines in drilling rig counts and the need for policy discussions to ensure future growth and opportunities.

Reader Question of the Day

What is casing and cementing?

In the context of drilling for oil and natural gas, casing and cementing are crucial steps to ensure the well's structural integrity and protect groundwater resources.

  1. Casing: Casing is the process of inserting a metal pipe into the wellbore.

  2. Cementing: After a casing pipe is placed into the wellbore, it is cemented into place.

These processes are fundamental to the safe and efficient drilling and operation of oil and gas wells.
