Nat’l Rig Count Continues Drop: U.S. Loses 2 @ 588, M-U Even @ 36

The U.S. national oil and gas rig count has been in a pattern of free-falling for the past three weeks. The national combined Baker Hughes oil and gas rig count dropped by another two to 588, the lowest it has been since January 2022. The Marcellus/Utica, after losing two rigs three weeks ago, maintained the same count last week --- a combined 36. Pennsylvania continued to operate 21 rigs. Ohio remained steady with ten active rigs. And West Virginia kept five active rigs. At this time last year, WV operated 12 active rigs. The M-U fell down three weeks ago and (so far) hasn't gotten back up.
