16 PERMIAN BASIN TRENDS (7) The number of drilled, but uncompleted (DUC) wells in the Lower 48 U.S. states seven most productive basins/plays rose by 3.3% from September to October. The increase occurred despite three of the seven areas reporting a drop in DUCs, according to the November issue of the Energy Information Administration s Drilling Productivity Report (DPR). The DPR reveals 269 DUCs were added to the September total of 8,276. The new total is 8,545, as of Oct. 31, Kallanish Energy reports. The biggest increase by far from September to October was in the Permian Basin, up 249 drilled, but uncompleted wells, 6.9%, to 3,866, from 3,617. The Anadarko was the closest basin/play to the Permian, up 41 DUCs, or 3.9%, from September to October, to 1,084, the DPR reveals. The three drilling areas which recorded a month-to-month drop in DUCs were Appalachia (the Marcellus and Utica Shale plays), Bakken and Niobrara, down 19, 20 and 14 DUCs, respectively, to 623, 797 and 401, respectively. The Eagle Ford play saw a 25-DUC increase, to 1,571, while the Haynesville Shale recorded a seven-duc increase, to 203.
