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.

Aethon with 9 active rigs is impressive operation - both as to capital expenses and operational logistics
It's the first time in a while that Aethon hasn't had a rig on their Louisiana acreage. The six in Angelina are BSM. I'm not sure about the one rig in Nacogdouches.
Focus on their honey hole. Some of this effort may be lease related - get it drilled and HBP
Aethon's current Angelina County focus is drilled but uncompleted wells (my opinion). It's my guess that Aethon is preparing for higher natgas pricing next year when additional LNG capacity comes online.
In a sim. situation w/ 2 PNG (ROBNSN 10&15-14-16) wells completed 1/18/23 also ready to be fracked & apparently waiting on higher NG pricing.
