A week after the Anadarko Basin in Oklahoma stood out for its large increase in rig activity, its numbers dropped according to Enverus Rig Analytics. But it still saw the biggest quarterly gain.
The Austin, Texas company issued its weekly report on Thursday and reported the Anadarko added 16 rigs or 73% and finished the second quarter at 38.
The number of rigs running in the U.S. ticked up by three in the last week to a total of 539 as of June 30, according to Enverus Rig Analytics. The count is relatively flat month over month, up by 163 rigs or 43% since YE20, and up 99% YOY.
Compared to the end of Q1, the U.S. count exited Q2 more active by 48 rigs, or 10%. The Permian added 10 rigs during the period to end Q2 at 225 rigs. The Williston Basin’s six-rig, or 43%, increase to 20 was also notable. All major plays were up, with the Appalachian Basin (42 rigs), DJ Basin (13) and Gulf Coast (61) adding one or two rigs each.
