US natural gas rig count adds six units last week
Wednesday, January 25, 2023
The U.S. natural gas rig count increased six units to 156 during the week ended Jan. 20, according to Natural Gas Intelligence.
However, despite the increase in natural gas-directed drilling, oil-directed drilling posted a 10-rig decline and the combined count fell four units to 771, according to the latest figures from Baker Hughes.
The combined 771 active drilling rigs are still ahead of the same time a year earlier when there were only 604 active drilling rigs.

What are mineral rights?
Mineral rights are the rights of the owner of the property to mine or produce any resources below the surface of the property. Mineral rights are different from surface rights.
Will I get free natural gas if I allow fracking on my property?
Maybe. It depends on your particular lease agreement. Some companies allow property owners a yearly free gas allowance. But, the process of connecting your property to the gas source may be more complicated. Some companies will provide a hookup, others require the landowner to provide one.
