...
• The Permian continues to perform relatively well overall, although only one horizontal rig has been added there in the last six weeks.

• The Cana Woodford was absolutely hammered again, now below its July peak

• The minor ‘Other’ plays have come back to life, with horizontal oil rigs there above last July’s peak for the first time
