Or was that already posted?
I am getting confused. No, I just checked: it was 151 rigs yesterday at 3:15 p.m. Pacific time.
At 5:00 a.m. this morning it was still 151.
Now someone alerted me that it was 153 rigs.
Incredible.
They have to get these wells drilled before EPA regulates fracking.
A suggestion for your "By the Numbers" on the right hand side... I know you have active rigs in there - but what about keeping track of the number of wells on the current confidential list? There are currently 1,061 wells on confidential.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I pulled the list into excel, and did a count by operator. I did a reverse sort to put the operator with the most wells on confidential at the top of the list.. Pretty interesting:

I do everything by hand. You have no idea how long it takes me to go through the confidential list, which I might do once a month. I need to let folks know it's approximate. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteBut that is very, very interesting. The list has always had about 950 wells on it; your number, 1,061, is a significant jump.
But it sure seems like very few wells are ever reported on the daily activity report; only three or four at a time.
I really appreciate you supplying the number today. When I get home from substitute teaching, I will put up a post on your number.
