North America dropped three rigs week on week, according to Baker Hughes’ latest rotary rig count, which was published on December 13.
Although the total U.S. rig count remained unchanged week on week, the total Canada rig count declined by three during the same time period, taking the total North America rig count down to 780, comprising 589 rigs from the U.S. and 191 rigs from Canada, the count outlined.
Of the total U.S. rig count of 589, 573 rigs are categorized as land rigs, 14 are categorized as offshore rigs, and two are categorized as inland water rigs. The total U.S. rig count is made up of 482 oil rigs, 103 gas rigs, and four miscellaneous rigs, according to Baker Hughes, which showed that this total count comprises 525 horizontal rigs, 50 directional rigs, and 14 vertical rigs.
Week on week, the U.S. added one land rig and cut one offshore rig, while its gas rig count increased by one and its miscellaneous count decreased by one, the count revealed. The county’s directional rig count increased by one and its horizontal rig count decreased by one during the period, Baker Hughes pointed out.
A major state variances subcategory included in the rig count showed that New Mexico added two rigs week on week and Louisiana added one rig. Texas dropped two rigs and Pennsylvania dropped one rig week on week, the count highlighted.
Canada’s total rig count of 191 comprises 120 oil rigs and 71 gas rigs, Baker Hughes pointed out. The country’s oil rig count dropped by four week on week and its gas rig count increased by one during the same timeframe, the count showed.
The total North America rig count is down 28 compared to year ago levels, according to Baker Hughes, which outlined that the U.S. has driven this decline, cutting 34 rigs during the period while Canada’s count increased by six. The U.S. has cut 19 oil rigs and 16 gas rigs, and added one miscellaneous rig, while Canada has added four gas rigs and two oil rigs, year on year, the count revealed.
In a research note sent to Rigzone on Friday by the JPM Commodities Research team, J.P. Morgan analysts noted that “total U.S. oil and gas rigs remained flat at 589 this week”.
“Oil focused operators remained flat at 482 rigs, after last week’s gain of five. Natural gas focused rigs rose by two to 103 rigs, a third consecutive weekly gain,” the analysts added.
In the research note, the J.P. Morgan analysts stated that the rig count in the major tight oil basins experienced a modest decline, “decreasing by two rigs”.
“The Eagle Ford region accounted for this reduction, while all other basins remained steady. Although the headline figure suggests a stable oil rig count, our detailed tracking indicates a shift of two rigs, likely relocating to non-core counties in the Eagle Ford, yet still operational,” the analysts said in the note.
“More significantly, the overall oil rig count preserved last week’s increase of five rigs, reinforcing the notion that capital programs for 2025 are beginning to roll out,” they added.
“Currently, we find ourselves eight rigs short of our December exit forecasts. However, it’s important to note that any movements in drilling activity today will have implications for production in 2025,” they continued.
In its previous rig count, which was published on December 6, Baker Hughes revealed that North America lost four rigs week on week. Although the U.S. added seven rigs week on week, Canada dropped 11 rigs during the same period, that count outlined.
