Someone beat me to it, alerting me to 162 active rigs in North Dakota. I had just checked, not more than ten minutes earlier.
This truly is incredible.
On other posts, I do talk about the ability for the infrastructure to keep up and the turmoil this activity is putting on surface owners, county roads, etc.
But it is what it is, and I'm just tracking the active rigs as one of many data points on this site.
I thought "we" would top out at 145 rigs this past summer simply because the infrastructure could not support more, but I was really, really wrong.
