Texas Breaks Records In Oil Production
Karr Ingham, oil and gas economist out of Amarillo, said the numbers the Texas Railroad Commission reported are actually low. “Those numbers are going to be adjusted upward going forward. It is obvious Texas production was in excess of 2 billion barrels a day. It used to be that we had a lot of rig activity up here, but this has kind of shifted to the Permian,” he told KXDJ’s Chris Samples. All wells decline over time and if you are not drilling new wells to replace that declining production, then you have declining production and outside the Permian, that is what is happening around the state. You can listen to more from him and Samples here. So, why have our drilling numbers decreased so much? Ingham noted, “We are a very gas rich part of the geologic world up here. So, the drilling that was going on before was part oil and part gas. Natural gas pricing is just awful.” Ingham, a Stratford native, is also the vice president of the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers. | ||

Ruben On The Road In Fritch With Connect Community Services
Ruben on the Road: Fritch nonprofit serving the community for over a decade FRITCH, Texas (KFDA) - Ruben heads to Fritch to learn about a nonprofit organization that has served the community for over a decade. Gere Jester, co-founder of Connect Community Services, says in 2013, she held a ladies’ Bible study. At the time, she was the loan executive for the company she worked for so she visited many of the agencies. Jester says in the Bible study, she asked what people in Fritch do when they need assistance. “And it was like deer in the headlights. Everybody said, ‘We don’t really know.’ So we began researching and discovered that they either had to go to Amarillo or there were a few services available in Borger, but nothing here in Fritch to help them,” said Jester.
