The Crude Life host Jason Spiess interviews Kunal Patel with the Dallas Federal Reserve about their latest energy study and outlook.
The two discuss the most recent Dallas Fed Energy Survey which involved about 200 oil and gas firms.
According to Patel, Activity in the oil and gas sector continued growing strongly in second quarter 2021, according to oil and gas executives responding to the Dallas Fed Energy Survey. The business activity index—the survey’s broadest measure of conditions facing Eleventh District energy firms—remained elevated at 53.0, essentially unchanged from its first-quarter reading.
Oil and gas production increased, according to executives at exploration and production (E&P) firms. The oil production index rose from 16.3 in the first quarter to 35.0 in the second quarter—its second-highest reading since the survey’s inception in 2016. Similarly, the natural gas production index increased 19 points to 35.0.
The index for capital expenditures increased from 31.0 to 42.4, indicating an acceleration in capital spending among E&P firms. Additionally, the index for the expected level of capital expenditures next year came in at 53.0, up from 49.5 in the first quarter.
About the Dallas Fed Survey
The Dallas Fed conducts a quarterly survey of about 200 oil and gas firms located or headquartered in the Eleventh District—Texas, southern New Mexico and northern Louisiana—which operate regionally, nationally or internationally.
The information collected is a valuable component of economic analysis and serves as input for Federal Open Market Committee monetary policy deliberations. Survey respondents are asked whether various measures of their firms’ business activities have increased, decreased or remained unchanged relative to the prior quarter and the year-ago quarter. Responses are aggregated into diffusion indexes; positive values indicate expansion while negative values indicate contraction.
