168 Active Rigs Today -- North Dakota, USA

A reader alerted me. Thank you.

That is either a new record or ties a record. There was some confusion in an earlier news story.  The confusion arose from an AP story which said North Dakota had 168 active rigs the previous week, though none of us who follow the Bakken closely noted a number higher than 166 at that time. Regardless, 168 is the high for number of active rigs in North Dakota.

Be that as it may, it is clear that there has been as many as 168 active rigs, albeit it seems for very short periods of time.

There's no question in my mind that we will soon see 170 active rigs in North Dakota.
