Reports
OUTLOOK 2017

COVER STORY U.S. independents are hopeful the upturn is finally
at hand. 2016 closed with commodity prices on an upswing, lifting
end-of-year rig counts, while the outcome of the November
elections followed by the OPEC-led initiative to tighten global
supplies buoyed operators' spirits. With the calendar year rolling
over, it seems an appropriate time to assess the state of U.S. energy
markets. Is the price recovery real? Will oil activity pick up in
2017? What about natural gas drilling? To provide insights on these
and other key issues, AOGR presented a series of questions to
J. Marshall Adkins, Rusty Braziel, Bud Brigham and Boyd Russell.
