Active Rigs Stable At 41 In North Dakota -- December 22, 2016

Note: Corral Creek oil field has been updated. A reader noted that some wells in Corral Creek have a "PH" in their legal names. According to a COP employee, the "PH" stands for "pilot hole" -- a well that will be used for monitoring with no intention of production. Some of these wells could be converted into SWD wells.
