Boom to Bust is a fascinating animated map visualization of the ascent as well as autumn of North Dakota's crude oil & gas industries. The map shows the amazing increase inward North Dakota's crude oil & gas revenues outset inward 2006 as well as the subsequent autumn inward revenues since 2015.
The map animates through the years from 2006 to March 2016. The scaled round out markers on the map present the place of private crude oil wells. As the animation plays out yous tin run into the huge explosion inward horizontal drilling as well as hydraulic fracturing inward North Dakota. This is specially clear inward the early on years inward the timeline.
I mean value the size of the markers on the map quest the monthly revenues from each well. I assume it doesn't present the production rates of each well. The map sidebar explains that production rates convey continued to rise. The smaller circles at the destination of the timeline are thence presumably to create amongst the falling crude oil prices inward recent years.
The information on the map was animated amongst CARTO's Torque.js library. Torque visualizations oft overstep a lot of criticism for beingness zero to a greater extent than than flashing dots on a map. In Boom or Bust, however, the animated information is used actually good to say the compelling even out of North Dakota's crude oil economic scheme over the final decade.
