BHGE’s U.S. Natural Gas Rig Count Down Two as Oil Count Slides Further

摘要

The U.S. natural gas rig count dropped two units to fnish at 193 for the week ended Friday (March 8), as a slowdown in oil drilling drove a double-digit drop in the overall domestic tally, according to data from Baker Hughes, a GE Company (BHGE). Along with the two natural gas-directed units, nine oil-directed rigs packed up shop, leaving the United States with 1,027 active rigs for the week, 43 units ahead of its year- ago total of 984 rigs.
