The count of active oil and gas drilling rigs has declined five straight weeks in the U.S. and four straight weeks in the Permian Basin as of May 10 as the 2019 slump for activity continues, according to Baker Hughes. The count was 988 (fewest since March 2018) in the U.S. – the third straight week. .
Rig counts are plunging in the Permian Basin and fewer energy companies are looking to drill in Texas, yet another sign that the global coronavirus pandemic is taking a heavy toll on the Lone Star State’s vital oil and natural gas industry. According to Baker Hughes, the nationwide rig count fell. .
Permian Basin and Texas continued their declines in count of active drilling rigs. Baker Hughes said as of Aug. 15 there were 255 rigs in Permian (down 1 in the past week, down 48 or 16 percent from 303 a year ago) and 242 rigs in Texas (down 1 in past week, down 31 or 11 percent from 273 a year.
