Oil and gas drilling remains strong in Oklahoma

Last updated: July 7, 2025 | Reading Time: 1 minutes
Oklahoma drilling stays strong despite a 2-rig drop; Cana Woodford up 2, Granite Wash down 1, others mostly unchanged or steady.

While the latest Baker Hughes rig count reported a drop of 2 rigs in Oklahoma to 50, most of the strong oil and gas drilling plays in the state still saw continued activity.

A breakdown of the oil plays showed only one with a decline of activity and that was the Granite Wash, which according to the Baker Hughes rig count, slipped by one rig to 14. None of the other oil plays in the state showed any decline, so the overall drop of two is admittedly confusing.

Otherwise, the Cana Woodford saw a pickup of 2 rigs for a total of 20. The Ardmore Woodford remained at 3 rigs while the Arkoma Woodford stayed at one.
