North America dropped 35 rigs week on week, in response to Baker Hughes’ newest North America rotary rig depend, which was launched on March 14.
Though the entire U.S. rig depend remained unchanged week on week, Canada’s whole rig depend dropped by 35 throughout the identical interval, taking the entire North America rig depend all the way down to 791, comprising 592 rigs from the U.S. and 199 from Canada, the depend outlined.
Of the entire U.S. rig depend of 592, 576 rigs are categorized as land rigs, 14 are categorized as offshore rigs, and two are categorized as inland water rigs. The overall U.S. rig depend is made up of 487 oil rigs, 100 fuel rigs, and 5 miscellaneous rigs, in response to the depend, which revealed that the U.S. whole includes 530 horizontal rigs, 50 directional rigs, and 12 vertical rigs.

Week on week, the U.S. land rig depend, offshore rig depend, and inland water rig depend remained unchanged, the depend highlighted. The U.S. fuel rig depend decreased by one, its oil rig depend elevated by one, and its miscellaneous rig depend remained unchanged, week on week, the depend confirmed. Baker Hughes’ depend revealed that the U.S. horizontal rig depend decreased by one week on week, whereas the nation’s directional rig depend elevated by one and its vertical rig depend remained unchanged throughout the interval.
A significant state variances subcategory included within the rig depend confirmed that, week on week, New Mexico dropped three rigs and Oklahoma added two rigs. A significant basin variances subcategory included in Baker Hughes’ rig depend confirmed that the Permian basin dropped three rigs, the Eagle Ford basin dropped one rig, the Granite Wash basin added two rigs, and the Williston basin added one rig, week on week.
Canada’s whole rig depend of 199 is made up of 139 oil rigs and 60 fuel rigs, Baker Hughes identified. The nation’s fuel rig depend dropped by 4, and its oil rig depend dropped by 31, week on week, the depend outlined. Canada’s miscellaneous rig depend remained unchanged throughout the interval, Baker Hughes revealed.
The overall North America rig depend is down 45 in comparison with 12 months in the past ranges, in response to Baker Hughes’ depend, which confirmed that the U.S. has minimize 37 rigs and Canada has dropped eight rigs, 12 months on 12 months. The U.S. has dropped 23 oil rigs and 16 fuel rigs, and added two miscellaneous rigs, whereas Canada has dropped 19 fuel rigs and added 11 oil rigs, 12 months on 12 months, the depend revealed.
In a analysis observe despatched to Rigzone by the JPM Commodities Analysis crew on Friday, analysts at J.P. Morgan famous that “whole U.S. oil and fuel rigs remained unchanged at 592 this week, in response to Baker Hughes”.
“Oil-focused operators elevated by one to 487 rigs, after remaining flat final week. Pure gas-focused rigs fell by one to 100 rigs, after final week’s lack of one. The rig depend within the 5 main tight oil basins, we use the EIA basin definition, remained flat at 464 rigs,” they added.
“This week, the rig depend within the main tight oil basins held regular, with the Anadarko basin including two rigs, the Bakken including one, the Permian dropping three, and all different areas remaining unchanged,” the analysts went on to state.
“Though the general rig depend carefully aligns with our estimates, we observe that the rig depend within the Anadarko basin is operating 11 rigs above our forecast. This improve, with the basin including seven rigs during the last six weeks, will be broadly attributed to a extra favorable pure fuel worth surroundings,” they continued.
“If the exercise within the Anadarko basin is sustained all through 2025, we estimate a modest impression on oil manufacturing progress of ~10 kbd and ~50 Mmcf/day impression on pure fuel output,” the J.P. Morgan analysts famous.
In its earlier rig depend, which was launched on March 7, Baker Hughes revealed North America dropped 15 rigs week on week. The U.S. minimize one rig week on week and Canada dropped 14 rigs throughout the identical interval, Baker Hughes outlined in that depend.
Baker Hughes’ February 28 depend confirmed that North America added 5 rigs week on week, its February 21 depend revealed that North America added three rigs week on week, its February 14 rig depend confirmed that North America dropped two rigs week on week, and its January 31 rig depend confirmed that North America added 19 rigs week on week.
The corporate’s January 24 rig depend revealed that North America added 12 rigs week on week, its January 17 depend confirmed that North America added 9 rigs week on week, and its January 10 rig depend outlined that North America added 117 rigs week on week.
Baker Hughes’ January 3 rig depend revealed that North America dropped one rig week on week and its December 27 rig depend confirmed that North America dropped 71 rigs week on week.
Baker Hughes, which has issued rotary rig counts since 1944, describes the figures as an vital enterprise barometer for the drilling business and its suppliers. The corporate notes that working rig location info is supplied partly by Enverus.
