Watch for Falling Gas DUCs

Watch for Falling Gas DUCs: E&Ps Resume Completions at $4 Gas

hartenergy.com

Drilled but uncompleted (DUC) gas wells that totaled some 500 into September 2024 have declined to 295, according to a J.P. Morgan Securities analysis of Enverus data.

The U.S. gas-well DUC count is declining precipitously, particularly in the Marcellus Shale, according to new Enverus data.

Typically, more gas wells are turned inline (TIL’ed) beginning after summer to capture winter-month futures prices.

But U.S. producers departed from this in 2023 as a persistently low Henry Hub price resulted in the total number of gas DUCs climbing to more than 600 in January 2024, according to the Enverus data.

It's about time.  There are way too many Haynesville wells in limbo.   I wish the article was more specific on HA DUCs.
