US drilling rig count up by 12 to 1,754
Oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. says the number of rigs drilling for oil and natural gas in the U.S. rose by 12 the week ending Nov. 8 to 1,754.
The Houston-based company said in its weekly report that 1,383 rigs were drilling for oil and 365 for gas. Six were listed as miscellaneous. A year ago there were 1,806 rigs. Of the major oil- and gas-producing states, Texas gained 13 rigs, New Mexico increased by six and Louisiana added one. Oklahoma lost four rigs and Alaska declined by one. Arkansas, California, Colorado, Kansas, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming remained unchanged.
The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981 and bottomed at 488 in 1999.
