Where are the drilling rigs in Pennsylvania?

Where are the drilling rigs?  Were we not supposed to see more drilling activity starting this year?  Is supply glutted now?  Has demand not increased as forecast?  Are pipelines operating at peak capacity?  Is it solely a matter of needing more pipelines?  With local upcoming AI & natural gas electricity generation facilities it seems that regional pipelines will be adequate.

Are gas companies choosing to operate solely in maintenance mode now?  Drill new wells only as needed to maintain production levels.  Given that a new pad with new wells may take two years to create,  does it not it seem that now is the time to add more wells?

From a distance it sure has appeared that Tioga County has become the hot spot for drilling in the northeastern side of PA. let`s hope this continues. Are these Marcellus or Utica wells being drilled?

Just wondering, recently the CEO for Huntley & Huntley mentioned that gas companies might pursue Utica, as well as, Marcellus gas in lower EUR areas leading into NE PA as Tier 1 areas decline in Westmoreland County.

So how will this impact the coverage area where they drill?  Will they go further to the east or west to expand?  Any targeted gas companies in their sights?  It`s great to see gas companies with the vision & energy to grow.

from Marcellus Drilling News this week

Pennsylvania issued 23 new permits last week, up from 19 the previous week. Ohio issued 11 permits, a slight decrease from 13 two weeks ago. And West Virginia issued 5 new permits, the same number as two weeks ago. Just, wow!
