North America lower 18 rigs week on week, in keeping with Baker Hughes’ newest North America rotary rig rely, which was launched on March 21.
Though the whole U.S. rig rely elevated by one week on week, Canada’s whole rig rely dropped by 19 throughout the identical interval, taking the whole North America rig rely all the way down to 773, comprising 593 rigs from the U.S. and 180 from Canada, the rely outlined.
Of the whole U.S. rig rely of 593, 576 rigs are categorized as land rigs, 14 are categorized as offshore rigs, and three are categorized as inland water rigs. The overall U.S. rig rely is made up of 486 oil rigs, 102 gasoline rigs, and 5 miscellaneous rigs, in keeping with the rely, which revealed that the U.S. whole includes 532 horizontal rigs, 49 directional rigs, and 12 vertical rigs.

Week on week, the U.S. land rig rely and offshore rig rely remained unchanged, and the nation’s inland water rig rely elevated by one, the rely highlighted. The U.S. gasoline rig rely elevated by two, its oil rig rely decreased by one, and its miscellaneous rig rely remained unchanged, week on week, the rely confirmed. Baker Hughes’ rely revealed that the U.S. horizontal rig rely elevated by two week on week, whereas the nation’s directional rig rely dropped by one and its vertical rig rely remained unchanged throughout the interval.
A significant state variances subcategory included within the rig rely confirmed that, week on week, Oklahoma added two rigs, Louisiana added one rig, and Texas dropped one rig. A significant basin variances subcategory included in Baker Hughes’ rig rely confirmed that the Ardmore Woodford basin added three rigs, the Cana Woodford basin dropped two rigs, and the Granite Wash, Permian, and Williston basins every dropped one rig, week on week.
Canada’s whole rig rely of 180 is made up of 118 oil rigs, 61 gasoline rigs, and one miscellaneous rig, Baker Hughes identified. The nation’s gasoline and miscellaneous rig counts every elevated by one, and the nation’s oil rig rely dropped by 21, week on week, the rely outlined.
The overall North America rig rely is down 20 in comparison with 12 months in the past ranges, in keeping with Baker Hughes’ rely, which confirmed that the U.S. has lower 31 rigs and Canada has added 11 rigs, 12 months on 12 months. The U.S. has dropped 23 oil rigs and 10 gasoline rigs, and added two miscellaneous rigs, whereas Canada has dropped 17 gasoline rigs, and added 27 oil rigs and one miscellaneous rig, 12 months on 12 months, the rely revealed.
In a analysis be aware despatched to Rigzone by the JPM Commodities Analysis group on Friday, analysts at J.P. Morgan famous that “whole U.S. oil and gasoline rigs elevated by one to 593 this week, in keeping with Baker Hughes”.
“Oil-focused operators decreased by one to 486 rigs, after gaining one rig final week. Pure gas-focused rigs elevated by two to 102 rigs, after final week’s lack of one. The rig rely within the 5 main tight oil basins – we use the EIA basin definition – declined by one to 463 rigs,” the analysts added.
“The Anadarko basin added one rig, whereas the Bakken and Permian basins every misplaced one rig, with rig rely in all different areas remaining unchanged. Though the general rig rely largely aligns with our estimate for March, we be aware that the rig rely within the Permian basin is operating seven rigs under our forecast,” the analysts went on to state.
“This decline, with the Permian basin shedding 5 rigs during the last 4 weeks, will be broadly attributed to a weaker WTI value atmosphere. If the lowered exercise within the Permian basin is sustained all through 2025, we estimate a modest affect on liquids manufacturing progress of ~25,000 barrels per day vs. our forecast,” they continued.
In its earlier rig rely, which was launched on March 14, Baker Hughes revealed that North America dropped 35 rigs week on week. Though the whole U.S. rig rely remained unchanged week on week, Canada’s whole rig rely dropped by 35 throughout the identical interval, that rely confirmed. Baker Hughes’ March 7 rig rely revealed North America dropped 15 rigs week on week.
In its February 28 rig rely, Baker Hughes revealed that North America added 5 rigs week on week. Its February 21 rely revealed that North America added three rigs week on week, its February 14 rig rely confirmed that North America dropped two rigs week on week, and its January 31 rig rely confirmed that North America added 19 rigs week on week.
The corporate’s January 24 rig rely revealed that North America added 12 rigs week on week, its January 17 rely confirmed that North America added 9 rigs week on week, and its January 10 rig rely outlined that North America added 117 rigs week on week.
Baker Hughes’ January 3 rig rely revealed that North America dropped one rig week on week and its December 27 rig rely 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 trade and its suppliers. The corporate notes that working rig location info is supplied partially by Enverus.
