(Reuters) - U.S. energy firms this week cut the number of oil and natural gas rigs operating to their lowest since January, 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 six to 578 in the week to May 9, putting the total rig count down 25, or 4%, below this time last year.
Baker Hughes said oil rigs fell by five to 474 this week, their lowest since January, while gas rigs were unchanged at 101.
Drillers cut three rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, bringing the total count down to nine, the lowest since September 2021.
In the Permian Basin in West Texas and eastern New Mexico, the nation's biggest oil-producing shale basin, drillers cut two rigs, leaving 285 rigs, the lowest since December 2021.
In New Mexico, drillers cut four rigs, bringing the total down to 96, the lowest since April 2022.
Oil and gas drilling permit applications in Texas, the top U.S. oil-producing state, hit a four-year low in April amid concerns that rising OPEC+ supplies and a trade war will continue to hit crude prices, consultancy Enverus said on Thursday.
According to Enverus, operators in Texas submitted 570 new drilling permit applications in April, down from 795 in March and the lowest number since February 2021.
(Reuters) - Oil prices settled nearly 2% higher on Friday and notched their first weekly gains since mid-April as a U.S. trade deal with the United Kingdom turned investors optimistic ahead of talks between top officials from Washington and Beijing.
Brent crude futures rose $1.07, or 1.7%, to settle at $63.91 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures advanced $1.11, or about 1.9%, to settle at $61.02.
Week-over-week, both benchmarks gained over 4%.
U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said China should open its market to the U.S., and that an 80% tariff on Chinese goods "seems right," a day after he announced a deal lowering tariffs on British car and steel exports, among other agreements with the United Kingdom.
"Energy markets - as bearish as they've been - are finally shaking off some of the pessimism and catching the broader market optimism that's showing back up as progress on trade relationships has begun," said Alex Hodes, oil analyst at brokerage StoneX.
