*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Since our last detailed cost inflation study in Q4 2021, surging commodity prices and geopolitical uncertainty have driven inflation above previous expectations. Higher commodity prices and inflationary costs are being passed on to upstream producers. Shortages for proppant, frac spreads, trucking and OCTG items hinder more activity. One bottleneck causes issues throughout the supply chain. Delays and backlogs are longer. Operators look to increased efficiency and cheaper materials to offset inflation.
