Statewide OH

The venerable Baker Hughes national rig count was 589 active rigs last week—which is FIVE weeks in a row. Very unusual. The Marcellus/Utica rig count was a combined 34 last week—the same number for FOUR weeks in a row. The national count remains rangebound between 581 and 589 since June 2024 (except for Sep. 13, when it hit 590 for a single week). The M-U remained static last week, with PA at 15 rigs, OH at 9 rigs, and WV at 10 rigs. Read More “No Change in M-U, Nat’l Baker Hughes Rig Counts 2nd Week in a Row”

This is an interesting pattern we’ve not seen in a long time for the venerable Baker Hughes rig count. The national rig count and the count for the Marcellus/Utica remained the same for multiple weeks in a row. The national count was 589 active rigs last week (now four weeks in a row). The M-U count was 34 last week (now three weeks in a row). The national count remains rangebound between 581 and 589 since June 2024 (except for Sep. 13, when it hit 590 for a single week). The M-U remained static last week, with PA at 15 rigs, OH at 9 rigs, and WV at 10 rigs. Read More “No Change in Either M-U Or National Baker Hughes Rig Counts”

The Baker Hughes national rig count dramatically increased three weeks ago, adding seven rigs for a national count of 589 (see OH Drops 1, PA Adds 1 Rig; National Rig Count Soars, Adds 7 @ 589). For the past three weeks, we have held on to the gains made (still at 589), including last week. Note that the national count continues to be rangebound between 581 and 589 since June (except for Sep. 13, when it hit 590 for a single week). The Ohio Utica lost one rig three weeks ago, and the Pennsylvania Marcellus picked it up. Two weeks ago, PA lost the rig it picked up the week prior. Last week, nothing changed; the combined M-U count stands at 34 for two weeks in a row, with PA at 15 rigs, OH at 9 rigs, and WV at 10 rigs.

The Baker Hughes national rig count dramatically increased two weeks ago, adding seven rigs for a national count of 589 (see OH Drops 1, PA Adds 1 Rig; National Rig Count Soars, Adds 7 @ 589). Last week, the national count didn’t change, and we are holding on to the gains made the previous week (still at 589). Note that the national count continues to be rangebound between 581 and 589 since June (except for Sep. 13, when it hit 590 for a single week). Two weeks ago, the Ohio Utica lost one rig, and the Pennsylvania Marcellus picked it up. However, last week, PA lost the rig once again, so the combined M-U count now stands at 34, down one rig from the previous week.
