Enverus Rig Count @ 530 (-11); Marcellus @ 35 (+3), Utica @ 14 (+1)

After four months of steady increases in the U.S. rig count, last week (the week ending April 21) the Enverus U.S. rig count "took a step back" with a decrease in the count. It was the first time this year the count has dropped. Oil rigs fell steeply to 404, down 15 for the week, while natural gas-oriented rigs gained four to 126. The Permian oil-focused play was the biggest loser, dropping five rigs last week.
