North America lower 12 rigs week on week, based on Baker Hughes’ newest North America rotary rig depend, which was launched on April 4.
The entire U.S. rig depend decreased by two week on week and the whole Canada rig depend dropped by 10 throughout the identical interval, taking the whole North America rig depend all the way down to 743, comprising 590 rigs from the U.S. and 153 from Canada, the depend outlined.
Of the whole U.S. rig depend of 590, 573 rigs are categorized as land rigs, 14 are categorized as offshore rigs, and three are categorized as inland water rigs. The entire U.S. rig depend is made up of 489 oil rigs, 96 fuel rigs, and 5 miscellaneous rigs, based on the depend, which revealed that the U.S. whole includes 529 horizontal rigs, 48 directional rigs, and 13 vertical rigs.

Week on week, the U.S. inland water and offshore rig counts remained unchanged, and the nation’s land rig depend dropped by two, the depend highlighted. The U.S. fuel rig depend dropped by seven, its oil rig depend elevated by 5, and its miscellaneous rig depend remained unchanged, week on week, the depend confirmed. Baker Hughes’ depend revealed that the U.S. horizontal and vertical rig counts remained unchanged week on week, whereas the nation’s directional rig depend dropped by two throughout the interval.
A significant state variances subcategory included within the rig depend confirmed that, week on week, Texas dropped three rigs and Pennsylvania added one rig. A significant basin variances subcategory included in Baker Hughes’ rig depend confirmed that the Marcellus basin added two rigs and the Granite Wash basin added one rig week on week. The Permian lower three rigs, and the Utica and Cana Woodford basins every lower one rig throughout the identical timeframe, the depend outlined.
Canada’s whole rig depend of 153 is made up of 99 oil rigs and 54 fuel rigs, Baker Hughes identified. The nation’s oil rig depend dropped by 9, its fuel rig depend remained unchanged, and its miscellaneous rig depend dropped by one, week on week, the depend revealed.
The entire North America rig depend is down 13 in comparison with yr in the past ranges, based on Baker Hughes’ depend, which confirmed that the U.S. has lower 30 rigs and Canada has added 17 rigs, yr on yr. The U.S. has dropped 19 oil rigs and 14 fuel rigs, and added three miscellaneous rigs, whereas Canada has dropped 17 fuel rigs, and added 34 oil rigs, yr on yr, the depend outlined.
In a analysis observe despatched to Rigzone on Friday by the JPM Commodities Analysis workforce, analysts at J.P. Morgan famous that “whole U.S. oil and fuel rigs declined by two to 592 this week, based on Baker Hughes”.
“Oil centered rigs elevated by 5 to 489 rigs, after shedding two rigs final week. Pure gas-focused rigs decreased by seven to 96 rigs, after including one rig final week,” they added.
“The rig depend within the 5 main tight oil basins – we use the EIA basin definition – declined by three to 457 rigs … with all losses occurring within the Permian basin, whereas the rig depend in all different areas remained unchanged,” they continued.
“This follows the Permian shedding three rigs final week and 10 rigs over the past 4 weeks. Total, the rig depend within the Permian basin is now operating 13 rigs under our forecast, which we broadly attribute to weaker WTI costs and rising uncertainties round international oil demand,” they famous.
“If the lowered exercise within the Permian basin is sustained all through the rest of the yr, we estimate a ~45,000 barrel per day damaging affect on U.S. liquids manufacturing in 2025 vs our forecast,” the J.P. Morgan analysts went on to state within the analysis observe.
In its earlier rig depend, which was launched on March 28, Baker Hughes revealed that North America lower 18 rigs week on week. The entire U.S. rig depend decreased by one week on week and the whole Canada rig depend decreased by 17 throughout the identical interval, that depend outlined.
Baker Hughes’ March 21 rig depend revealed that North America lower 18 rigs week on week, its March 14 depend revealed that North America dropped 35 rigs week on week, and its March 7 rig depend revealed North America dropped 15 rigs week on week.
In its February 28 rig depend, Baker Hughes 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 necessary enterprise barometer for the drilling business and its suppliers. The corporate notes that working rig location info is offered partially by Enverus.
