I wish I had taken a screenshot of the NDIC GIS map the first of every month from the very beginning. With 200 rigs in a small area of western North Dakota, it's pretty much just a solid glob of green on the NDIC map, due to the density of the rigs.
However, starting a few months ago, I started to see more and more rigs moving from the center to the periphery. Tonight it is quite remarkable. The number of rigs has remained constant for quite some time but now we are starting to see them "spread out": to the north / northwest (Divide County); one rig to the far northeast; but most notable, a number of rigs moving south towards Dickinson and farther southwest.
For example. there are six rigs between Dickinson and Belfield, and another seven rigs north of these (south and southwest of Killdeer).
The seven rigs south and south west of Killdeer:
