Fracking Slowdown in North Dakota?

I've posted for the past year that it appears that about half the wells that come off the confidential list are not completed/fracked, but apparently the backlog is narrowing, based on the "Director's Cut," suggesting that although the wells may not be completed by the time they come off the confidential list, they are fracked shortly after that.

But then, yesterday, I received this note (with some editing -- original, unedited comment was posted):
I am wondering if anyone knows of a site or group more attuned to the oilfield workers.

We're wondering why absolutely NO fracking seems to be happening lately - can we assume we're just going through a slowdown and things will pick up or should we pack up and head to TX for work? Any feedback from the workers or a link to a site would be appreciated! Thank you!
Thoughts? I've heard similar stories over the past few weeks from truckers not hauling ceramics/sand.
