The problem here is that much of the data before 1987 combines oil and gas rigs, and some of the counts are much higher than the current total of oil rigs alone. The EIAâs historical rig data shows a high of 4,521 rigs in 1981. Baker Hughes showed a record rig count of 4,530 recorded on Dec. 28, 1981.
Boulder, Colorado. Boulder (/ËboÊldÉr/) is the home rule municipality that is the county seat and the most populous municipality of Boulder County, and the 11th most populous municipality in the U.S. state of Colorado. Boulder is located at the base of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains at an elevation of 5,430 feet (1,655 m) above sea level.
Aurora, to the east is very large but rather featureless, as is Lakewood to the west. The other more attractive suburbs lie to the northwest towards Boulder â Arvada, Westminster, Lafayette, and Louisville. The latter two are in Boulder County and actually covered under Boulder. These suburbs are self-contained towns with a strong country feel and plenty of local employment.
