North America minimize 22 rigs week on week, in keeping with Baker Hughes’ newest North America rotary rig depend, which was launched on April 11.
The entire U.S. rig depend decreased by seven week on week and the overall Canada rig depend decreased by 15 throughout the identical timeframe, taking the overall North America rig depend all the way down to 721, comprising 583 rigs from the U.S. and 138 from Canada, the depend outlined.
Of the overall U.S. rig depend of 583, 567 rigs are categorized as land rigs, 13 are categorized as offshore rigs, and three are categorized as inland water rigs. The entire U.S. rig depend is made up of 480 oil rigs, 97 gasoline rigs, and 6 miscellaneous rigs, in keeping with the depend, which revealed that the U.S. complete includes 523 horizontal rigs, 46 directional rigs, and 14 vertical rigs.

Week on week, the U.S. land rig depend dropped by six, its offshore rig depend dropped by one, and its inland water rig depend remained unchanged, the depend highlighted. The U.S. oil rig depend dropped by 9, and its gasoline and miscellaneous rig counts every elevated by one, week on week, the depend confirmed. Baker Hughes’ depend revealed that the U.S. horizontal rig depend dropped by six, its directional rig depend dropped by two, and its vertical rig depend elevated by one, week on week.
A serious state variances subcategory included within the rig depend confirmed that, week on week, Texas dropped three rigs, West Virginia and California every dropped two rigs, and New Mexico dropped one rig. Pennsylvania added one rig week on week, in keeping with the rig depend.
A serious basin variances subcategory included in Baker Hughes’ rig depend confirmed that the Permian basin dropped 5 rigs, and the Marcellus, Eagle Ford, and Cana Woodford basins every dropped one rig, week on week. The Haynesville and Barnett basins every added one rig week on week, the depend highlighted.
Canada’s complete rig depend of 138 is made up of 91 oil rigs and 47 gasoline rigs, Baker Hughes identified. The nation’s oil rig depend dropped by eight and its gasoline rig depend dropped by seven, week on week, the depend revealed.
The entire North America rig depend is down 37 in comparison with yr in the past ranges, in keeping with Baker Hughes’ depend, which confirmed that the U.S. has minimize 34 rigs and Canada has minimize three rigs, yr on yr. The U.S. has dropped 26 oil rigs and 12 gasoline rigs, and added 4 miscellaneous rigs, whereas Canada has dropped 24 gasoline rigs, and added 21 oil rigs, yr on yr, the depend outlined.
In a analysis word despatched to Rigzone on Friday by the JPM Commodities Analysis group, analysts at J.P. Morgan famous that “complete U.S. oil and gasoline rigs declined by seven to 583 this week, in keeping with Baker Hughes”.
“Oil targeted rigs declined by 9 to 480 rigs, after including 5 rigs final week. Pure gasoline targeted rigs elevated by one to 97 rigs, after shedding seven rigs final week,” they added.
“The rig depend within the 5 main tight oil basins – we use the EIA basin definition – decreased by six to 451 rigs. The rig depend in two main tight gasoline basins remained flat at 68 rigs,” they went on to state.
Within the word, the J.P. Morgan analysts highlighted that the “Permian basin los[t]… 5 rigs, [and the] Eagle Ford los[t]… one rig, whereas the rig depend in all different areas remained unchanged”.
“This follows the Permian shedding three rigs final week and 16 rigs over the past seven weeks. General, the rig depend within the Permian basin is now working 18 rigs under our forecast, which we attribute to weaker WTI costs and fears of U.S./world recession,” the analysts warned.
“If the lowered exercise within the Permian basin is sustained at present ranges all through the rest of the yr, we estimate a ~62,000 barrel per day adverse impression on U.S. liquids manufacturing in 2025 vs our forecast,” they added.
“The rig depend throughout main gasoline basins remained flat as the 2 rigs added in Haynesville have been offset by Marcellus/Utica shedding two,” they famous.
“This follows Marcellus/Utica including one rig final week after seven weeks of unchanged rig depend. Haynesville rig depend was flat final week and is up by three over final 4 weeks,” the J.P. Morgan analysts went on to state.
In its earlier rig depend, which was launched on April 4, Baker Hughes revealed that North America minimize 12 rigs week on week. The entire U.S. rig depend decreased by two week on week and the overall Canada rig depend decreased by 10 throughout the identical interval, that depend outlined.
Baker Hughes’ March 28 depend revealed that North America minimize 18 rigs week on week, its March 21 rig depend additionally revealed that North America minimize 18 rigs week on week, its March 14 depend confirmed that North America dropped 35 rigs week on week, and its March 7 rig depend revealed North America minimize 15 rigs week on week.
In its February 28 rig depend, Baker Hughes confirmed that North America added 5 rigs week on week.

Baker Hughes, which has issued rotary rig counts since 1944, describes the figures as an necessary enterprise barometer for the drilling business and its suppliers. The corporate notes that working rig location info is offered partially by Enverus.
