In the current oil-price environment we have all seen the tremendous decline in the number of active rigs across the country, in part led by steep attrition in the far-from-market Bakken and the less bountiful non-core acreage in the Eagle Ford. But there have been a few play areas that, though they have certainly suffered from the downturn, have kept activity levels up better than the national norm. Previously we have discussed Oklahoma, led by its STACK and SCOOP; the Permian Basin’s Midland and Delaware basins, and recently the Utica Shale in Ohio.
