U.S. Oil Rig Count Update – 6/17/20

  • June 17, 2020
  • by Belinda Przybylski
According to Baker Hughes, U.S. oil rig counts declined to an 11 year low level as of the week ending Jun 12th. Jun 12th week ending oil rig counts declined 3.4% from the previous week while finishing 74.7% lower on a YOY basis and 77.6% below the three and a half year high levels experienced during November of 2018. The percentage decline in oil rig counts was the smallest experienced throughout the past 12 weeks on a percentage basis, however. Oil rig counts have declined in response to lower WTI crude oil prices, which have rebounded off of recent lows but remain 49% below the Oct ’18 highs during the week ending Jun 12th. Crude oil production has slowed throughout April, declining to a 26 month low level during the week ending Jun 12th. Jun 12th week ending oil production per rig remained near recently experienced 20 year high levels. Crude oil production is expected to continue to slow throughout coming months according to drilling productivity estimates compiled throughout areas accounting for 95% of recent production gains.
