Total DUCs in U.S. continue climbing in May: DPR

The number of DUCs, drilled, but uncompleted wells, in the Lower 48 U.S. states' seven major plays rose less than 1% from April to May, the Energy Information Administration reported Monday in its monthly Drilling Productivity Report (DPR).

A total of 31 DUCs were added to the total found in the Anadarko, Appalachia, Bakken, Eagle Ford, Haynesville, Niobrara and Permian plays. Total DUCs at May 31, was 7,772, up from 7,741 in April, Kallanish Energy reports.

Just three of the seven plays saw a month-to-month increase in DUCs, led by the Permian Basin, which gained 100 drilled but uncompleted wells, to 3,203 from 3,103.

The Eagle Ford (14) and the Bakken (1) were the other plays recording an April-to-May increase in DUCs, to 1,485 and 750, respectively.

The remaining four plays each saw their DUCs total fall, led by a 48-DUCs drop in the Niobrara, falling to 491 from 539. Appalachia (the Marcellus and Utica Shale plays combined) saw its DUCs total drop by 27, to 744, from 771.
