Cover: rig HPCN 129 on location, Niger Delta — April 2026.

Active rig count — all sources

NUPRC and contractor rows are named units in the merged register; Baker Hughes publishes a Nigeria country total without naming rigs, so it reconciles the count rather than adding to it.
What's inside
Connected modules, all drilling from national rig activity down to the individual rig record.
Rig registry
Every tracked drilling, completion and intervention unit — owner, operator, field, terrain and operating status.
Rigs by field
Field-by-field activity with day-over-day movements across the Niger Delta and frontier acreage.
Rigs by owner
Contractor and owner fleets, with the operators they are working for and unit-level detail.
Daily rig count
Regulator register, contractor disclosures and the Baker Hughes benchmark, reconciled each day.
Source reconciliation
Where sources disagree, the discrepancy is surfaced rather than smoothed over.
Daily alerts
Rig moves, completions, intervention campaigns and regulatory events as they are published.
Each record carries its origin (NUPRC, operator filing, press) and a last-verified date, so you always know what you are citing.
Rig moves, completion milestones and intervention campaigns — the details that determine where activity is heading.
National rig dashboards and daily updates are free. Unit-level registry and reconciliation sit on Professional.
