U.S. Rig Count

Data and confidentiality notice

Protecting our clients' confidential information comes first, so this page is built from published data only.

• Sources. The rig figures come from the Baker Hughes North America Rig Count, a public dataset Baker Hughes publishes every week at rigcount.bakerhughes.com. Prices, production, and the frac-spread count come from the U.S. Energy Information Administration and Primary Vision. Each provider is the source of its own numbers.
• The analysis is ours. The counts belong to the providers above. The reading of what they mean is McCracken Land Services' own view, and it does not represent Baker Hughes, the EIA, or anyone else.
• No client or private data. This page reports only activity that is already published at the state and basin level. It names no operator, well, lease, or client, and nothing here is drawn from our client work or any private source.
• Assembled automatically. We put this page together each week with the help of software that gathers the published numbers and drafts the summary. We review it before it goes out, but automated data pulls can carry an error. If a figure looks off, trust the original source it came from, and let us know so we can fix it.
• Not advice. This is general industry information. It is not legal, investment, title, or drilling advice.
