pbd-
Within the last a day or two I read a post (here?) that expressed concern about us being near the top in drilling because it has gotten so expensive. Here's some data put out by GS:
- February U.S. drilling permits - often a leading indicator of the US rig
count - rose 5.1% sequentially on a 3-month trailing average basis to
3,047, excluding coal bed methane permits. Permit levels remain in line
with the current cycle high of 3,053 in October 2000.
- U.S. land drilling permits were up 1.8% sequentially on a 3-month
trailing average basis to 3,060, including coal-bed methane permits.
- U.S. offshore drilling permits were up 23.0% sequentially on a 3-month
trailing average basis to 209, setting a new current cycle high. The
previous high was 170 in January 2001.
- U.S. oil drilling permits rose 6.3% sequentially on a 3-month trailing
average basis to 883.
- U.S. gas drilling permits increased 7.2% sequentially on a 3-month
trailing average basis to 1,217, also setting a new current cycle high.
The previous high was 1182 in December 2000.

Sure looks like all is well.
