Actual and Forecast (2010-2040) of Anadarko raw natural gas production (Bcf/d), broken down between old and new wells.
- Peak production occurred in 2018 at 5.7 Bcf/d.
- Anadarko production then began declining and is expected to drop to just 2.1 Bcf/d by 2040.
- Does not include associated gas.
Anadarko Gas Well Initial Productivity
- New well initial productivity declined to 4.2 MMcf/d in 2023, down from over 6 MMcf/d in 2022. Incorrys projects new well IP to drop to 3.7 MMcf/d by 2040.
Anadarko Gas EUR
- Anadarko well EUR has dropped from a peak of about 4.6 Bcf in 2022 to less then 3.3 Bcf in 2023. EUR is expected to continue to drop 2.9 Bcf in 2030.
Anadarko Well Count
- Approximately 10,700 wells have been drilled since 2010.
- The number of new wells in Anadarko dropped significantly from a peak of about 1350 in 2012 to just under 250 in 2023. Incorrys is forecasting the number of new wells to stay in the 200 range through 2040.
- Over the 2020-2023 time period, the average lateral length was 6,100 ft with a average total depth of 15,000 ft.
Anadarko Map

- Anadarko is located in western Oklahoma and northeast Texas extending to southwestern Kansas and southeastern Colorado.
- Anadarko basin has multiple formations including Granite Wash, Mississippian Lime, Marmaton, Woodford, Cleveland, and others.
- Classification of basin in adjacent counties in Oklahoma and Kansas can be different. Some counties in Kansas in particular classify producing basin as Sedgwick, Central Kansas Uplift, or Cherokee. Such wells are not included in this analysis.
