203 -- New Record -- Active Drilling Rigs in North Dakota -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Dynamic link here.

Over the weekend it went to 201, tying the record, so I knew it could hit a new record today. I checked often, caught the 202. Moments later, it was gone, but to 200, but a reader said it actually got to 203. The reader is a reliable source, so I have put 203 as the new record.

We were at 202 and then 203 for less then 30 minutes today.
