PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

The Basic Petroleum Data Book provides valuable domestic and world statistical background information, beginning with most instances with 1947. Included are data on energy, reserves, exploration and drilling, production, finance, prices, demand, refining, imports, exports, offshore transportation, natural gas and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Companies.This report is published monthly by the API and contains detailed data on the imports of crude oil and petroleum products. Included are: importer of record, port of entry, country of origin, recipient, destination, quantity, and API gravity (except residual fuel oil) and sulphur content (for crude oil and residual fuel oil). The import data is based on reports filed with the Energy Information Administration of the DOE. This report is available around the first week of each month. The Exports report is published monthly by the API and contains detailed data on crude oil and petroleum products exports. Included are port of exit, country of destination, the number of shipments, quantity, shipment value and derived prices.

Joint Association Survey (JAS) on Drilling Costs is the only long-term source of information on detailed U.S. drilling expenditures. The survey, conducted since 1959, presents information on wells, footage and related expenditures for each active drilling area. Data for oil wells, gas wells, and dry holes are reported separately and the information is further disaggregated by depth interval for each state and area. Similar summary tables are provided for the offshore and onshore areas. Also included in the report are sections on drilling expenditures for exploratory and development wells, horizontal wells and coal-bed methane gas wells. A detailed comparison of the impact of price change on the drilling costs is also included. This publication is normally available in the fall of each year. Prior years' data are also available at a reduced price.
Quarterly Well Completion Report provides detailed information reported drilling activity, as well as estimates of the total number of wells and footage drilled for the current and recent quarters. The estimates of quarterly completions and footage are disaggregated by well-type, depth interval, and quarter for the current year and two years prior. The data on reported drilling by date of completion includes well type, depth interval, and quarter on a state and/or area basis. The reported drilling activity is also presented by depth interval. These tables show the cumulative number of well completions for the current year and the two years prior. Separate table are also provided for exploratory and development wells and new-field wildcat completions on a state and/or area basis. Reported completions by depth interval are given on an annual basis for the total United States, for exploratory wells, total U.S. onshore and offshore. This report is available within two weeks following the end of the quarter.
