162 Active Rigs -- How It Breaks Down Among Operators -- North Dakota, USA

Here was the breakdown of rigs by operator when we hit a record 157. At 162, here is the breakdown by operator:

CLR: 22
WLL: 15
HES: 11
EOG: 10
OAS: 7
Petro-Hunt: 7
MRO: 6
BEXP: 5
XTO: 5
BR: 5
Slawson: 5


Compared to the "157" list, it was notable that BEXP and EOG were each down one (1) today, which means there really could be 164 active rigs today.


Most notable (at least to me): Oasis is now up to 7 rigs (one more than earlier). Whiting and Oasis seem to be moving out the most quickly, although the "face" of the Bakken, CLR, is also at a new high, 22.

MRO is also up one (1) today.
