A new record. This I didn't expect. First, I thought we would max out at 135, and at this "height," I didn't think we would jump up by two (2) in one day. It was 134 for several days (the previous high) and now up to 136 active rigs in North Dakota.
Update, July 21, 2010: in comments below, it has been pointed out that not all "active" rigs are doing exciting things like actually drilling for oil. Some are work-over rigs converting an oil well (or what once was an oil well) to a salt water disposal well).
