27 Punchline Oil price drop helped consumers and the overall economy but slowed growth in energy states. Benefit of low oil prices to the economy softened by strong dollar and slower global growth. Rough patch for energy-producing states. Texas forecast to grow 1-2% in >2 016: Revenues, capex and hiring will likely improve Financial distress remains for some.

28 Additional Resources Quarterly Energy Update The Quarterly Energy Update is a brief overview of the latest developments in global oil and gas markets. The update highlights shifts in the outlook for world oil production, consumption and inventories, and reviews how data reflecting U.S. activity, OPEC output and prices have evolved over the last three months. Dallas Fed Energy Survey The Dallas Fed Energy Survey is a quarterly questionnaire sent to around 200 oil and gas firms located in Texas, northern Louisiana and southern New Mexico. A summary report released after each survey round describes how key business indicators like production and capital spending have changed since the prior survey. Energy in the 11 th District Energy in the 11 th District provides detailed background info on four major oil and natural gas producing regions: the Barnett Shale, Eagle Ford Shale, Haynesville Shale and Permian Basin. Monthly and quarterly updates depict the latest county-level data on production, drilling, employment and sales in each region.
