Number of the Week: How Many Rigs Are Drilling for Oil? (WSJ 08.27.11)

Jay, several natural gas plays still provide excellent returns due to associated condensate and natural gas liquids. Examples include the Eagle Ford Shale, Marcellus Shale, Granite Wash and Woodford/Cana Shale. Some dry gas drilling is still economic due to the enhanced natural gas prices from hedging activities.
