Back on May 27th we predicted a range of 40 to 70 spreads through August 1st. Just three of those weeks were above 70. The next confidence range is 60-90 with 100 a stretch goal. Heating up in the Permian. The Permian basin saw roughly 30 operators with active spreads in the month of July (roughly 100 back in July of 2019). Concho, Diamondback and EOG all have 3. Pressure pumpers Alamo, BJ Services, Advanced, Cudd, Evolution, FTSI, Halliburton, Liberty, Next-Tier, Patterson-UTI and Schlumberger each had at least 2 active spreads. Ok well who finishes third? With the Permian and Appalachian basins firmly holding onto the #1 and #2 spots we have a handful of basins in a dog fight for third. None of those basins appear poised to break double digits anytime soon. Once again, the 86,000 square mile area covering west Texas and parts of south eastern New Mexico looks to keep the U.S. oil and gas industry afloat. [/ihc-hide-content]
