M-U Rigs Flat @ 35 as Haynesville Rigs Roar to 59; Nat’l Count Up 5

The rest of the country is drilling. We're not. Well, at least not as much. The Marcellus/Utica held flat at 35 rigs for a second straight week — the lowest count on our 52-week chart — while the national count added five rigs to hit 593, the highest since March 2025. Pennsylvania stayed at 16 rigs, Ohio at 10, West Virginia at 9. Nobody moved. Meanwhile, the Haynesville, our chief rival for gas-directed capital, tacked on three more rigs to reach 59.
