In NW LA, for Q4 2015 and Q1 2016 (to date) there have been 63 HA permits issued.  Bossier - 3, Caddo - 6, DeSoto - 32, Red River - 19 and Sabine 3.  Although this is obviously a steep decline, the fact that Vine Oil & Gas has 23 of those permits tends to mask just how low drilling activity has fallen for all the other operating companies.  Take out CHK's 18 permits in those six months and you get an average for all the remaining operators of ~3.6 new permits per month.
