U.S. energy firms this week cut the number of oil and natural gas rigs operating for the fourth time in five weeks, energy services firm Baker Hughes said in its closely followed report on Friday. Oklahoma lost 1 rig, down to 43 rigs now running.
The total oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, fell by four to 600 in the week to May 24, the lowest since January 2022. Baker Hughes said that puts the total rig count down 111, or 16%, below this time last year.
Oil rigs were unchanged at 497 this week, while gas rigs fell by four to 99, their lowest since October 2021.
That cut the rig count in several states and one basin to their lowest levels in years.
In Texas, the state with almost half of the country's operating rigs, the count fell by three to 287, the lowest since February 2022, while in West Virginia, drillers cut two rigs, leaving just six active units, the lowest since August 2020.
In the Marcellus in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio, the nation's biggest shale gas-producing basin, the rig count fell by three to 26, the lowest since October 2021.
