AFAIK, there has never been a period (until recently) when drills were standing idle because they didn’t have a good location in which to drill.

Thanks. My comments were with regard to the (I assume) specialty rigs used for horizontal drilling and fracking. Not total rigs.

And I still haven’t seen any evidence rigs stood idle because the feds refused to open land for them.
