Excellent success rate for high impact wells this year, let’s hope it’s a good indicator for Serenity.
The much higher success rate at high-impact wells drilled so far this year is a good signal for global supply at a time when oil and gas prices are high, and trade has been upended following the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent sanctions and embargoes on Russian oil.
So far this year, E&P firms have discovered over 1.7 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe) at high-impact wells, nearly quadruple the 450 million boe discovered for the whole of 2021, Rystad Energy research showed this week.
Per Rystad Energy’s methodology, high-impact wells are classified through a combination of factors, including the size of the prospect, whether they would unlock new hydrocarbon resources in frontier areas or emerging basins, and whether they are “focus areas” for the operator.
So far into 2022, the success rate at such wells has stood at 47%
