U.S. energy firms this week cut the number of oil and natural gas rigs operating for an 11th week in a row for the first time since July 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic cut demand for the fuel, 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 two to 537 in the week to July 11, the lowest since October 2021.
Baker Hughes said this week's decline puts the total rig count down 47 rigs, or 8% below this time last year.
Baker Hughes said oil rigs fell by one to 424 this week, their lowest since September 2021, while gas rigs were unchanged at 108.
In Texas, the biggest oil and gas producing state, the rig count fell by one to 255, the lowest since November 2021. Oklahoma was down one rig, now with 42 rigs running.
But in the Haynesville shale in Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas, one of the nation's biggest and fastest growing gas producing regions, the rig count rose by one to 38, the most since March 2024.
(Reuters) - Oil prices rose over 2% on Friday as the International Energy Agency said the market was tighter than it appears, while U.S. tariffs and possible further sanctions on Russia were also in focus.
Brent crude futures settled up $1.72, or 2.5%, at $70.36 a barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude gained $1.88, or 2.8%, to $68.45 a barrel.
For the week, Brent rose 3%, while WTI had a weekly gain of around 2.2%.
The IEA said the global oil market may be tighter than it appears, with demand supported by peak summer refinery runs to meet travel and power generation.
Front-month September Brent contracts were trading at about a $1.20 premium to October futures.
"The market is starting to realize that supplies are tight," said Phil Flynn, senior analyst with Price Futures Group.
