U.S. Oil Rig Count Falls by 4 to 479 -- Market Talk

05/03

1327 ET - The number of rigs drilling for oil in the U.S. fell by four this week to 479 and was down by 20 from a year ago, oil services company Baker Hughes reports. As crude prices toy with multi-year lows on concerns about rising OPEC+ production, there's a risk the rig count could start to fall more sharply "based on history when WTI prices edge close to US$50 a barrel or below," analysts at Citi Research say in a note, citing declines seen in 2015-2016 and in 2020 during the early phase of Covid. "This is also the reason we think that, if there is a significant decline in oil prices in the coming weeks or months, a price recovery could take place later into 2026," they add. Rigs directed at natural gas rose by 2 this week to 101, down by one from a year ago. (anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
