The Energy Equipment and Infrastructure Alliance (EEIA), a trade association representing the companies and people that provide contractor services, equipment, materials, and labor to shale oil and gas exploration and production, infrastructure, transportation and processing, has just published its Spring/Summer 2021 Energy Logistics & Distribution Report (full copy below). The report features more than 75 individual charts and graphs tracking price and volume metrics for energy including crude oil, natural gas, NGLs, drilling activities, renewables, consumption, logistics, and financial data. It is the single best source of charts and graphs to understand what’s happening in the energy markets.
