One of the largest and most active plays in Oklahoma, the Cana Woodford, experienced a loss of three active oil and gas rigs in the past week. It was part of the nation’s decline in rig activity for an 11th straight week.
The latest Baker Hughes Rig Count showed the Cana dropped from 20 rigs to 17. Another of the state’s plays, the Ardmore Woodford lost one rig, leaving only one still in play. The Arkoma Woodford went another week no reported drilling activity, according to Baker Hughes.
Oklahoma’s Granite Wash was unchanged at 13 rigs. The Mississippian, which includes northern Oklahoma and well into southern Kansas, remained at only one active rig.
The nation’s most active region, the Permian Basin, remained at 265 rigs. The Williston, which is largely in North Dakota, was unchanged at 31 rigs. The Eagle Ford of South Texas saw no change with a count of 41 rigs.
Of the other plays, the D-J Basin stayed at 8; the Haynesville grew one to 38 rigs and the Marcellus continued with a count of 23 rigs. The Utica stayed at 12 active rigs. The Barnett remained at 2 rigs.
