U.S. Rig Count Ticks Higher As Oil Prices Head For Another Weekly Gain

By Julianne Geiger - May 06, 2022

The number of total active drilling rigs in the United States rose by 7 this week, after an increase of 3 rigs in the week prior, according to new data from Baker Hughes published on Friday.

The total rig count increased to 705 this week—257 rigs higher than the rig count this time in 2021. Drilling has picked up substantially since the Russia invasion, adding 55 rigs over the last ten weeks.

Oil rigs in the United States rose this week by 5 rigs to 557, while gas rigs rose by 2 to 146. Miscellaneous rigs stayed the same, at 2.

The rig count in the Permian Basin remained the same this week at 335, as did rigs in the Eagle Ford at 61.

U.S. crude oil production held steady at 11.9 million bpd during the week ending April 29, according to the latest Energy Information Administration—a 300,000 bpd rise since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Costs for drillers have risen in the U.S. shale patch—just one of many factors preventing U.S. drillers from ramping up production quickly.

U.S. shale producers have been reluctant to ramp up drilling and instead have opted to reward shareholders with buybacks and dividends; however, indications are that more production is underway, with Chevron announcing a week ago that it would ramp up production at its biggest oilfield, along with other producers, including Continental, Hess and Matador.

U.S. Rig Count Continues To Rise As WTI Hits $110

By Julianne Geiger - May 13, 2022

The number of total active drilling rigs in the United States rose by 9 this week, on top of the 7 rig increase in the week prior, according to new data from Baker Hughes published on Friday.

The total rig count increased to 714 this week—261 rigs higher than the rig count this time in 2021 and the highest count since April 2020. Drilling has picked up substantially since the Russia invasion, adding 64 rigs within that timeframe.

Oil rigs in the United States rose this week by 6 rigs to 563, while gas rigs rose by 3 to 149. Miscellaneous rigs stayed the same, at 2.

The rig count in the Permian Basin stayed the same this week, at 335 while rigs in the Eagle Ford rose by 1. Despite this week’s stagnation, Permian rigs have made substantial gains since the sharp dropoff in 2020 following the Covid-19 lockdowns and subsequent demand destruction, recovering to 186 percent from the low of 117 rigs in August 2020 to 335 rigs now.

U.S. crude oil production slipped for the first time in 13 weeks for the week ending May 06, to 11.8 million bpd, according to the latest Energy Information Administration—a mere 200,000 bpd rise since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
