BR WIth Another Huge Merton Well -- September 27, 2016

Updates

September 29, 2016: see comments below. A reader has provided an excellent comment that helps explain what another reader noted. Comment brought up here for easier googling:
Rig counts are a little "dicey". Todays report shows Nabors X10 and Nabors X-10. I believe this one and the same rig. The White Mt. 252 is a "spuder" rig just drilling and setting 2000 ft surface casing. 
The OneOK gas plant is likely a factor in Dunn County. Also some of the more difficult Badlands locations are drilled in summer and fall when road conditions are better. Come winter and early spring, rigs are more common in more accessible locations in Mountrail, Williams and McKenzie Counties. It appears to me the actual deep-drilling rig count is 30. There is also a Key Drilling rig (146-100) in McKenzie County which might be drilling a vertical Madison formation test in the Rough Rider Field (or drilling surface hole only?)
Later, 9:47 p.m. Central Time: a reader noted there are 12 rigs in Dunn County an 10 rigs in McKenzie -- wondering why more rigs in Dunn County -- if it had anything to do with new ONEOK gas processing plant coming on-line soon? See first comment.
