It’s that time of year again to report production numbers in Michigan for oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids for the first six months of 2016.   As stated many times here, the production data lags behind real time so we have to wait until just about this time of year to get all of the data from January to June.  After compiling the data for the first six months of 2016 we see a couple of<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

 things that stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1st Thing That Stands Out About 2016 Hydrocarbon Production Numbers in Michigan Through 6 Months<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first thing that stood out was the top producing well in Michigan was producing from the Niagaran Gray formation in Manistee County.   For the many of you following along with RMP’s Michigan hydrocarbon data reporting, you know that the Trenton-Black River formation in Jackson County has been the only bright spot for oil producers over the past handful of years in Michigan.  The Trenton Black River is still dominating the top 10 single well producers, but Core Energy’s State Manistee 2-14 well has taken the #1 spot.   Core Energy’s well in Manistee is miles away from Jackson County and the Trenton has been knocked down a peg as the Niagaran is back on top in the Michigan Basin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RMP is predicting that  Core Energy’s #CCS oil wells into Niagaran Pinnacle Reefs are the next big thing for Michigan’s Oil & Gas future.   Natural Gas Power Plants coupled with #CCS technology are the clean energy bridge to our children’s brighter future.    Natural Gas Plants like the Alpine Power Plant<\/a> being built in Elmira Township<\/a> strike the sensible balance of large scale electricity production Michigan needs with job creation and environmental stewardship.  Natural gas power plants create basically no pollution or harm to Michigan’s freshwater natural resources or air quality.   The Alpine natural gas plant near Gaylord Michigan will provide 700 MW of electricity on demand and produce negligible NOx, SOx, and CO2 if coupled with Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells and Core Energy’s #CCS wells.  Natural gas power plants also produce zero Hg<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CO2 generated from the Alpine Power Plant can be concentrated with $FCEL <\/a>technology and piped to Niagaran Pinnacle Reef wells for sequestration by companies like Core Energy LLC.   This is part of Michigan’s clean energy future and a chance to showcase world class carbon negative power generation technology in the Michigan Basin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2nd Thing That Stands Out About 2016 Hydrocarbon Production Numbers in Michigan Through 6 Months<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The second thing that is standing out in Michigan Oil & Gas production through the first months of 2016 is the aggregate drop off in total quantities produced.   The drop-off on the oil production graph (shown below) is the most striking.   The drop-off for oil production could also be influenced by wells being shut in because of low pricing rather than solely because of the lack of new wells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natural gas declines are also showing on the graphs below but dry gas production decreases are more gradual as the Antrim is a long term producer.  Let us not forget that many Antrim units have been hooked up to vacuum systems recently so it would be no surprise to actually see Antrim production go up in the near term.  But, RMP has stated before that putting Antrim wells on a vacuum is a backfire waiting to happen.  Remember what RMP said in August of 2015<\/a>:  Oxygen finds a way.  The greed that has led to trying to get more gas out of Michigan’s most prized hydrocarbon resource may actually kill the Antrim in the long run.    When infrastructure gets gummed up with rust, the Antrim will die.  And when I say die, I literally mean die as the anaerobic living creatures that produce CH4 in the Antrim will die if exposed to oxygen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s Get Into The Numbers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Below begins RMP’s numerical and graphical analysis of Michigan Basin hydrocarbon production from January to June of 2016.   The reporting is broken down into the top 10 lists for oil, NGL, and natural gas as well as aggregate reporting for Michigan as a whole.  Whenever you see the “See It On The Map<\/span><\/strong>” links in the top 10 lists, you can click on the link and see the well or unit of wells on RMP’s  energy mapping software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update 7-17-2025 – The oil maps have been taken down. If they ever go back up, the “see it on the map” links will be restored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RMP is promoter and advocate of solar & wind energy. So is everybody else though.  Saying you’re an environmentalist by saying you support solar & wind does not make you an environmentalist.  It just makes you like pretty much every other person out there.  The numbers RMP has been working so hard to learn over the past few years are showing that #CCS and natural gas are the bridge to a fossil fuel free future, cleaner air, cleaner water, and reduced CO2 emissions. Understanding that the transition to non fossil fuel infrastructure will take decades to complete is why most environmental groups in Michigan and around the country are moving freshwater and air protection backward by not learning about and promoting #CCS and natural gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s work together to protect Michigan’s freshwater resources and air quality.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You can’t drive a car, heat your home, charge your phone, fly on a plane, or do much else without being complicit in the reason we have fossil fuels.\u00a0 We did not get here overnight and we are not the only country that needs to improve the way we use hydrocarbons while we build solar and wind infrastructure.\u00a0 Unless you’re willing to give all of\u00a0your creature comforts\u00a0up today, it’s time to start learning about #CCS and technologies that can responsibly phase out dirty energy for clean energy.\u00a0 Please help RMP educate the public about sustainable energy production by making a tax deductible donation to our 501(c)3\u00a0non-profit\u00a0by clicking here<\/a>.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
