For all liquids, US output has been revised up by 417,000 barrels per day in the fourth quarter. Producers are going flat out, capitalizing on the $80-plus price to be had in the prompt crude market. They are bringing on drilled but uncompleted wells in large numbers, and as a result fourth-quarter crude production has been revised up by 260,000 b/d. Fourth-quarter output of natural gas liquids (NGLs) has been restated 157,000 b/d higher.
