HAYNESVILLE RIG COUNT BY PARISH/COUNTY AND OPERATOR
THE GHS HAYNESVILLE SHALE RIG TRACKER. 2023
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.

Thanks for the supplement, Rock Man.

No problem - always willing to kick in key info.
Interesting calculation on the wells in that Robertson / Leon County area - due to high pressure, total footage of all casing run assuming 7500' laterals is around 8.5 to 9 miles.
That is a LOT of steel! And Cement! And Cost!

The Bald Prairie wells may have come along at a bad time. Still only two wells on the weekly report, Comstock and Aethon. If this was last year, I'd expect a lot more wells in progress.

Those are the two main players - massive acreage positions.
Gas line hook ups and gathering facility issues have slowed down that play area development.
Gas prices not helping either.
Rumors that there may be a couple of other operators putting together drilling blocks as we speak.

Plus four rigs in the Robertson / Leon County deep play between Comstock and Aethon

What rig tracker is it that has four, Rock Man? My Enverus shows three, 1 Comstock in Leon and 1 Comstock and 1 Aethon in Robertson.

My ENVERUS Site today (just checked again)
Three in Robertson
Comstock with Nabors X37
Aethon with two Scan rigs (Scan Legacy and Scan Explorer)
One in Leon / Comstock with Nabors X07
Wonder if these two drilling contractors are talking to each other about operations - as well as competing?

I'm not surprised that there are glitches in Enverus's data. The three rigs I mention are listed in "Intelligence - Locations & Operators: Week 04-30-2023". I suspect that you got the four from a different Enverus report.

I gave up trying to understand how ENVERUS is put together a long time ago.
If an ENVERUS person is reading this discussion site, I would recommend that they strive for a little more consistency in what they are putting out there (and charging a lot for).

Don't have the 5/5 well specifics yet, Skip? Looks like you may have listed 4/28 twice.

GoHaynesvilleShale.com (GHS) was launched in 2008 during a pivotal moment in the energy industry, when the Haynesville Shale formation—a massive natural gas reserve lying beneath parts of northwest Louisiana, east Texas, and southwest Arkansas—was beginning to attract national attention.
