How to read these graphs:
The graphs on the left show the rate of growth compared to the earliest year for which we have data -- in most cases 2003. The gray lines represent a theoretical constant annual rate of change.
The bar charts on the right show the actual values for each year we have data. For example, in 2008, Kentucky had 1,222 new wells drilled.
