After I missed the "record" of 157 active rigs -- someone else alerted me to it -- I have been checking twice a day to see if "we" would hit 158.
And it appears I missed that record! Someone just alerted me -- Friday night, November 12, 2010 -- the Director's Cut (NDIC/Director) which was just published today.
The Director mentions that the record of 158 was hit on November 11, 2010, but that today (November 12, 2010) the number of active rigs had fallen back to 156. Talk about ephemeral.
In a separate post, I will hit the high points of the latest Director's Cut, for archival purposes.
Anyway, "we" have a new record: 158 active rigs in North Dakota.
By the way, that makes sense: BEXP's seventh rig was missing in the "old record" of 157. I haven't yet had a chance to check out to see if I can find the 158th rig.
