Last week, the combined Marcellus/Utica Baker Hughes rig count remained at 37 active rigs for the seventh week in a row. The M-U’s chief competitor, the Haynesville, remained at 58 active rigs after adding two rigs two weeks ago, some 21 more than the M-U. Clearly, drillers are choosing to put their money into the Haynesville over the M-U. The national count added one rig last week and now operates 548 rigs.

Last week, the combined Marcellus/Utica Baker Hughes rig count remained at 37 active rigs for the sixth week in a row. The M-U’s chief competitor, the Haynesville, added two rigs and now runs 58 active rigs, some 21 more than the M-U. Clearly, drillers are choosing to put their money into the Haynesville over the M-U despite that play’s higher costs because (a) it’s closer to the Gulf Coast LNG export facilities, and (b) it’s easier to build pipelines in Louisiana and Texas than it is in the northeast. The national count added three rigs last week and now operates 547 rigs. Read More “M-U Rigs Even @ 37; Haynesville Up 2 @ 58; Nat’l Up 3 @ 547”

Last week, the combined Marcellus/Utica Baker Hughes rig count remained at 37 active rigs for the fifth week in a row.
