Active Drilling Rigs – November 2010
Posted by bakkenSince our last report 2 months ago the number of active drilling rigs has increased 10% to 158 total rigs. Despite the challenging economic environment, oil and commodities have continued to creep higher over the last 2 months. Crude topped out above $86 about a week ago and now has drifted back to $84 as of Tuesday morning. The XLE ETF has gone from the low $50′s to a short term high of $63.89 earlier this month. There is some overall concern about the market in general with a number of technical indicators showing that we may be facing some headwinds for the next 6 months as global economic issues such as sovereign debt in Ireland and Portugal take the forefront. Continental Resources (CLR: 86.546 -0.89%) continues to be the Bakken leader with 20 active drilling rigs adding one since our last count. Whiting Petroleum (WLL: 46.98 -0.84%) & Brigham Exploration (BEXP: 0.00 N/A) both are unchanged since our last count 2 months ago. The number of smaller players standing up 1-2 rigs seems to be increasing with every month that goes by. Given the premium that most Bakken stocks now hold compared to their offshore counterparts, there may be a chance that acquisitions of these smaller private players may increase.
