From the Bakken:
14 rigs operating in the Bakken, I'm down to 1.
Estimated 60% of Bakken production shut in.

Screen shot of Whiting bankruptcy court filing. Negative cash flow for May projected at $80+M. Illustrates previous point that significant LOE in the Shale continues in spite of shut ins.
At 25 active Rigs in the Bakken and I have three. Expect 0 by the end of may. Hope I can find a ride back to Denver.

Since I just caught a break...thought I would give you the Bakken perspective to help answer some of your question. Down to 31 Rigs in the Bakken and I have 4 of them. My TX relief never showed. Local rig count dropping by about 5 a week.
Updated July 28, 2021
Looks like the rig count went up another 3.
Reacting to increasing prices?
Notice that the rig count in the Bakken is almost back to where it was in April 2020, just after COVID hit.
29 now vs 31 back then but how much higher was it at the start of 2020?
