US oil rig count hits fresh 19-month low amid broad drilling slowdown

摘要

New York-The US oil rig count fell to a fresh 19-month low this week as drilling activity waned in nearly all major basins, information published by RigData showed Thursday. The number of active US oil drilling rigs edged down by 11 to 815 this week, the lowest since January 2018 and 100 lower than year-ago levels. The decline in oil drilling activity led the combined US oil and gas rig count down 11 to 1,022 last week, itself a 19-month low.
