M-U Rigs Even @ 40; Haynesville Even @ 52; Nat’l Count Down 1 @ 550

On Friday, Baker Hughes reported that the U.S. rig count lost 1 rig and now stands at 550 active rigs. Three weeks ago, the Pennsylvania Marcellus added a rig, bringing PA's total to 20 active rigs, the most it has operated in well over a year. PA kept its new/higher total last week. Both Ohio and West Virginia remained at 13 and 7, respectively. The combined M-U count was 40 rigs last week, the most operated rigs in well over a year, now for a third week in a row. The M-U’s primary competitor (for attention and money), the Haynesville, continues to operate 52 rigs (12 more than the M-U).
