U.S. energy firms this week cut the total number of oil and natural gas rigs operating for a second week in a row, reducing the rig count for a third consecutive quarter, energy services firm Baker Hughes said in its closely followed report on Friday.
The total oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, fell by seven to 623 in the week to Sept. 29, the lowest since February 2022. U.S. oil rigs fell by five to 502 this week, their lowest since February 2022, while gas rigs dropped by two to 116.
For the month, total oil and gas rigs in September fell by nine, their smallest monthly decline since April, dropping for a fifth month in a row.
Oil rigs fell for the 10th month in a row in September and for a third straight quarter, while gas rigs rose by one in September after falling by 13 in August.
While the total rig count fell by 51 in the third quarter, the cuts have slowed compared with a reduction of 81 in the second quarter as oil prices have rebounded due to tightening supplies.
Energy stocks are set to close out the final session of the third quarter in the green, tracking higher broader index futures and oil prices. Rates are backing off, with the 10-year back below 4.6%, trading around 4.53%. Sector news flow is light as quiet periods are set to commence ahead of earnings season next month.
Oil prices rose on Friday and were headed for a gain of about 3% for the week, driven by tight U.S. supply and expectations of strong fuel demand in China. A backdrop of tight supplies in the U.S. provided further price support, with storage at Cushing, Oklahoma, the delivery point for U.S. crude futures, already at its lowest since July 2022. "Any additional decline would threaten to bring them down to a critical level, which could make further withdrawals difficult," said Commerzbank analyst Carsten Fritsch.
Natural gas futures are lower by 3%, consolidating gains after touching 7-week highs yesterday.
