How may wells were drilled in 2014?

In 2014 there were 35,699 new oil & gas wells drilled in the United States. Before you go to the link below, guess how may new wells were drilled in Saudi Arabia last year.

If we stopped drilling new wells, U.S. oil production would drop by 2,200,000 barrels per day in one year.
