Oil wells typically last between 15 and 30 years. The metric uses a fixed ratio of estimated total production from new wells divided by the region's monthly rig count, lagged by two months.
This effect has been observed during winter weather freeze-offs, extreme flooding events, and the global oil demand contraction. The DPR methodology involves applying smoothing techniques to most of the data series because of inherent noise in the data.
