M-U Rigs Even @ 37; Haynesville Up 1 @ 56; Nat’l Up 1 @ 544

Last week, the combined Marcellus/Utica Baker Hughes rig count remained at 37 active rigs for the fifth week in a row. The M-U’s chief competitor, the Haynesville, added one rig and now runs 56 active rigs, some 19 more than the M-U (bummer). The national count added one rig last week and now operates 544 rigs. Baker Hughes said oil rigs fell by three to 407 last week, their lowest since February, while gas rigs rose by four to 129, their highest since early April. Other miscellaneous rigs held steady at eight.
