U.S. energy firms this week cut the number of oil and natural gas rigs for a second week in a row as the rig count, an early indicator of future output has been slow to grow with oil production only seen recovering from pandemic-related cuts next year.
The total U.S. oil and gas rig count fell by one to 763 in the week to Aug. 12, while oil rigs rose three to 601 this week, and gas rigs fell one to 160.
That was the first time the rig count fell for two consecutive weeks since August 2020.
Baker Hughes said that puts the total count up 263 rigs, or 53%, over this time last year.
