US drillers cut oil rigs to lowest since Jan 2022 for second week

U.S. energy firms this week cut the number of oil rigs operating for a second week in a row to the lowest since January 2022, energy services firm Baker Hughes said in its closely followed report on Friday.
The combined oil and natural gas rig count, traditionally an early indicator of future output, fell by two to 616 in the week to Nov. 10, the lowest since February 2022, which puts the total rig count down 163, or 21%, below this time last year.
The number of active rigs has dropped since December due to weaker energy prices and as many firms return profits to investors and pay down debt rather than spending to boost production. However, U.S. oil and gas production is still set to hit record highs this year as demand grows and the industry boosts efficiency to offset the impact of the lower prices.
The number of oil rigs fell by two to 494this week, while gas rigs were unchanged at 118.
Benchmark U.S. crudeoil for December delivery rose $1.43 to $77.17 per barrel Friday. Brent crudefor January delivery rose $1.42to $81.43 per barrel.
Wholesale gasolinefor December delivery rose 3 centsto $2.19 a gallon. December heating oilrose 2 cents to $2.74 a gallon. December natural gasfell 1 centto $3.03 per 1,000 cubic feet.
