Louisiana drilling activity remained steady over the last 30 days, with 28 rigs operating across nine parishes, led primarily by Haynesville-focused operators. Apex Natural Gas, Expand Energy, and Aethon Energy continue to dominate the basin’s activity, reinforcing a disciplined development environment centered on consistent execution rather than expansion.

Oklahoma’s drilling story right now is about stability, not surprise. Operators are sticking to their best rock in the Cana Woodford and surrounding Anadarko Basin plays, leaning on preferred contractors and maintaining a steady development cadence.
