M-U Rig Count Keeps Gains @ 39; Nat’l Count Loses 6 @ 542

The Marcellus/Utica rig count gained 1 rig two weeks ago in the Ohio Utica. The combined count hit 39 total rigs. Last week, the M-U maintained that count---the most rigs it has operated in more than a year. Pennsylvania has held at 18 active rigs for five consecutive weeks. Ohio picked up 1 rig two weeks ago and now operates 14 rigs. West Virginia maintained its 7 rigs, which it has operated since May 30. There were 24 rigs targeting the Marcellus and 15 targeting the Utica, for a combined 39 rigs in the M-U. The national count did not fare so well, losing 6 rigs, down to 542 active rigs, the lowest national count since September.
