Hmmmm.... Interesting ..... Active Rig Count

Daily Activity Report

Active rigs: 187

Nine (9) new permits -- (actually an error; only 8 new permits; one of the permits NDIC listed was issued some time ago)
  • Operators: EOG (2), CLR (2), Oasis (2), GMX Resources (2),
  • Fields: Parshall (Mountrail), Patent Gate (McKenzie), Squires (Williams), Ranch Creek (McKenzie)
  • Comments:
Wells that were supposed to come off confidential list did not report any initial production numbers. No explanation provided by NDIC.

One producing well was completed:
  • 24241, 1,609, Whiting, Anderson 41-7H, Sanish, t1/13; cum --
There were two DRY holes:
  • 21347, DRY, Wesco Operating, Gruman 41-18NENE, a Lodgepole well; Eland, Stark County;
  • 22365, DRY, Chimney Sweep, Hondl 21-1NWNE, a Lodgepole well; wildcat, Stark County;

Updates

Later, 2:23 pm: I didn't think I would be updating this post today, but now the active rig number has gone up to 187. Very, very surprising. I haven't been following the details of which operators are adding rigs, or if there are new operators; maybe that's why I didn't see this coming. [I've updated rig county by operator for selected operators; note the number of rigs for XTO.]

Original Post

Active rigs at 186, surprising, I suppose to some ... maybe not so surprising as we move into spring...

  1. Word around Dickinson is activity is going to move south this summer and rig counts will start increasing soon
