INDUSTRY OUTLOOK 2019
38 | COVER STORY A chorus of projections about continued growth in
America's resource plays and accompanying observations about a
revival in international and offshore operations are music to the
industry's ears. But as crude prices followed broad market indices
at the tail end of 2018, analysts began to temper their high notes.
What lies ahead? Producers who responded to The American Oil &
Gas Reporter's annual Survey of Independent Operators anticipate
a busy year ahead. More than 80 percent expect to drill at least as
many wells in 2019 as in 2018, and slightly more than half are
planning larger drilling budgets. With America's tight oil and natural
gas plays the focal point, their drilling plans are based on a $55-$65
WTI price range, with respondents indicating they would start
stepping up activity should spot prices rally above that level. For
natural gas, the survey results show that $4.00 an Mcf is the key
pricing point that would begin to elicit a notable drilling response.
