THE GHS HAYNESVILLE SHALE RIG TRACKER. 2021
I'll update each week so we can follow the rig count. I am only counting rigs drilling the Haynesville and Bossier formations. Many industry rig numbers are for the "Haynesville Area", however they may defined that, and includes wells drilling other formations.

Is there a source that tracks the frac companies working in this trend and how many spreads they are currently running?
I am not aware of such a service
There is no free tracker for frack crews as far as I know. Some subscription services may have that data. You can review corporate presentations on a quarterly basis where companies will sometime state how many "dedicated" frack crews they deploy at any given time. In Louisiana, the SONRIS database will show a Work Order (very bottom section of a well file) that provides the effective dates for the work to be performed. The work would not be done before the initial date but those work orders are effective for twelve months so there is no way to know, short of on the ground intel, when the completion ops are actually taking place.

* KJ Energy has a horizontal listed on the report but with no details provided. I will consider it a Haynesville well for now and update next report.
Skip,
Best I can tell for KJ Energy is that they have filed no permits in Panola County in the last 2 years,
other than for Cotton Valley, & one Travis Peak
Thanks for checking, Tom. I thought that the second time that the rig was reported would have included updated and more detailed information. The rig report relies on the rig operator for the weekly report details, not the well operator. So in this case, Helmerich & Payne would be providing the information. The purpose behind the report is to provide driving directions to the rig site. Here is a cut-and-paste of the listing for the Cassity #2 H in Panola Cty. It is strange and I've never seen this before in the weekly rig report.
KJ ENERGY LLC CASSITY #2H HELMERICH & PAYNE #452
Spud 8/17/21 18 Drilling ahead
- Location details missing. Driving directions unavailable
Thanks for well info. Skip
Permit & Amended are very recent
BRACHFIELD, S.E. (COTTON VALLEY) - TD 10,125'
Thanks, Tom. I only list Haynesville/Bossier wells so I will remove the Cassity 2 H from the next rig update.
Rose, to make it easier, I have sent you a friend request. Accept it and you will have access to my personal page.
