The US rig count increased this week by 9 to 1078. The gas rig count also increased by 6 to 734. The most significant changes were increases in the Anadarko Basin (+6), LaMiss Salt Basin (+4) & Permian Basin (+4) and a decrease in East Texas (-7).

The total number of drilling rigs on Haynesville Shale wells is 116. The number in Louisiana increased by 1 to 103 with 13 rigs in Texas. DeSoto Parish led in Louisiana with 54 followed by Red River (24), Caddo (12), Sabine (5), Bossier (5) and Bienville (3). Chesapeake (32) leads among operators followed by EnCana/Shell (22), Petrohawk (12), Exco (9), Comstock (6), El Paso (6), Questar (5) and EOG (4).

As noted above Webster Parish is now part of the active Haynesville Shale play as Diamond has spudded the first HS well in the parish.

Drilling activity definitely is picking up in the northeast and southwest portions of the play in Louisiana.

The US rig count slipped this week decreasing by 10 to 999. The gas rig count was down slightly decreasing by 2 to 699. Large decreases occurred East Texas (-9) and the Anadarko Basin (-8) while the LaMiss Salt Basin actually increased by 6.

The number of drilling rigs on Haynesville Shale wells in Northwest Louisiana jumped by 5 to 89. DeSoto Parish led with 40 followed by Red River (17), Caddo (13), Bossier (9), Bienville (6) and Sabine (4). Chesapeake leads among operators (30) followed by Petrohawk (14) EnCana/Shell (14), Questar (5), Comstock (5) and Exco (5).

Two new wells were of particular interest. Comstock spudded their first HS well in Sabine Parish in the Benson Field. Also, EnCana spudded the first HS well in the Redoak Lake Field in Red River Parish. This well will provide some new information for the southeastern portion of the play.
