<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Kayrros, part of our business is to track the drilling, frac\u2019ing and well-completion performance of Oil and Gas operators in all major US tight Oil and Gas basins \u2013 an information that we supply to the subscribers of our E&P Intelligence product, most of whom are themselves in the business. Recently, one of our subscribers\u2019 query led us to consider a new question: could the provision of our data affect our clients\u2019 own performance? 

The answer was revealing.

Our client \u2013 let\u2019s call him Operator A \u2013 posed a seemingly routine question: who is the best performer in the Bakken in terms of drilling and completions performance? To answer, we turned to our proprietary database of performance records going back to 2019 and looked at the track record of the various operators in the basin and how it had evolved over time. We went a step further: we singled out our subscriber from the rest of the industry to see if they behaved differently since they started their partnership with us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The results were striking. Average drilling performance in the Bakken, measured in drilled feet per day, has nearly doubled overall in the last six years.  This dramatic improvement reflects not only the recovery of activity from the COVID-19 slump but also the relentless pursuit of efficiency in US shale operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Operator A did even better than that. From being in the lower quartile when we started monitoring performance in 2019, it rose steadily to the top quartile by Q2 2025, eventually ranking among the top three best performers in the Bakken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Of course, Kayrros alone cannot take all the credit for this stellar trajectory, but we like to think we played a supporting role. Operator A is not the only star among our subscribers. In fact, its trajectory  is emblematic of how our leading customers use our data to improve their operations .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Drivers of Performance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we analyze Operator A\u2019s performance over the last six years, we can attribute it to several key factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
