justify;"><b>HOUSTON—</b>Texas oil and gas producers achieved one of the upstream industry’s most successful years in 2013, according to the Texas Petro Index (TPI) released today.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The TPI, a composite index based upon a comprehensive group of upstream economic indicators, reached 295.0 in December, which is the fourth consecutive month that the TPI has reached new heights. The previous record was set in September-October 2008. Nearly all the growth in 2013 was crude oil-driven, but the bottom line received a boost from higher wellhead prices for natural gas, as well.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">“The statewide upstream oil and gas economy in July finally recovered fully from the nadir of December 2009 and surpassed the previous peak TPI (287.6) achieved in the late fall 2008,” said Karr Ingham, the economist who created the TPI and maintains it monthly. “Although most indicators of industry activity were higher at year-end 2013, compared to the prior year, the story of the year was crude oil production in Texas.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">“By our estimates, statewide crude oil production grew by about 21 percent in 2013 compared to 2012, which in turn was up more than 34 percent compared to the prior year,” Ingham said. “And those increases are part of a trend that has been under way for several years.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">“Crude oil production in Texas in 2013 totaled 856.8 million barrels about 120 percent greater than the 389.9 million barrels of oil produced in Texas in 2007. In fact, the volume of oil produced in Texas in 2013 accounted for about 31 percent of all U.S. oil production and is the highest statewide total since 1985.”</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The Texas Petro Index ended 2013 up 6.7 percent compared to December 2012. Before the current economic expansion, the TPI’s previous all-time high of 287.6 occurred in September and October 2008, after which the TPI declined to 188.5 in December 2009 before embarking upon the current growth cycle.</p> <h5 style="text-align: justify;"><b>Texas Exploration & Production Highlights in 2013:</b></h5> <p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">– The statewide working rig count averaged 835, about 7.1 percent less than in 2012.</p> <p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">– Texas Railroad Commission issued 21,471 drilling permits, compared to 22,479 permits issued in 2012.</p> <p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">– Producers recovered an estimated 856.8 million barrels of crude oil, a 21.2 percent year-over-year increase and the sixth consecutive year in which statewide production increased.</p> <p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">– The estimated value of Texas-produced crude oil increased by 27 percent to about $81.0 billion, with wellhead prices increasing slightly (4.2 percent) and production up nearly 150 million barrels.</p> <p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">– The estimated value of Texas-produced natural gas increased 29.6 percent to $28.56 billion, as wellhead prices increased 31.8 percent to reach $3.60/Mcf while production declined slightly (1.0 percent).</p> <p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">– About 276,092 Texans on average were employed in the oil and gas production, drilling and service sectors during 2013, up about 6.4 percent compared to 2012 (average of 259,575). Upstream industry employment reached a record 282,700 in August before declining during the remainder of the year.</p> <h5 style="text-align: justify;"><b>Among leading TPI indicators during December:</b></h5> <p style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;">– The Baker Hughes count of active drilling rigs in Texas averaged 843, compared to 838 in December 2012.
