New starts

Please note: The following list is updated daily by reviewing the state active rig list. Occasionally, a company will post a start date retroactively (two or three days late) and these may not be picked up when looking for the most recent start dates. Also, companies may post a start date and withdraw it later--the list may not always reflect that. For the official status of a given rig, consult the state's list at https://www.dmr.nd.gov/oilgas/riglist.asp
