166.

New record.

This record of 166 active rigs includes only six BEXP rigs. I believe BEXP has seven rigs in the Bakken (maybe the seventh is in Montana, if not inactive) with an eighth on the way in 2011.

All 22 CLR rigs are on the active list.

Only 10 EOG rigs are on the list. I believe I have seen as many as 11 EOG rigs.

Whiting has 15 rigs on the list.

The ten Hess rigs are on the list.

Oasis is up to eight rigs, which I think, is a new high for them.
