Have Yourself A Merry Shale Christmas – Infill Thinking’s 2024 Christmas Song Is Out!

Every Christmas season for the past eight years, we’ve written an oilfield Christmas song.

We started doing these shale adaptations from the Christmas Classics before ChatGPT, so you can be sure a human hand actually created them! 🙂

The songs are part market research because they reflect the trends we report. But they are also part tinsel and candy canes, designed to bring a smile to all our shale friends.

Due to prevailing OFS market malaise, this year’s song is a bit more melancholy than boom years (hopefully by next Christmas, the trends and song will both be more upbeat).

After doing this for so long, we pretty much have a full Oilfield Holiday album out now! Listen to our songs below and on Spotify or Youtube (note our 2024 song is only available here for now, but will be released on the steaming services by Christmas).

So grab some egg nog (maybe with a splash of something if that’s your style) and crank up the volume. Merry Christmas everyone!
