Read More...Four weeks ago, MDN told you about a developing story of rig realignment in the Marcellus/Utica (see Rig Bloodbath Continues – Pennsylvania Loses 7 Rigs in 3 Weeks). As we reported, Pennsylvania was losing rigs, bleeding rigs, like crazy—four rigs gone in two weeks’ time. And West Virginia was gaining those lost rigs. PA’s rig…

Read More...Two weeks ago, the national rig count, which counts all oil and gas rigs, added an astonishing eight rigs to the count after languishing for months — the biggest weekly gain in a year. As we told you, the Marcellus/Utica rig count from two weeks ago remained at 33, but that wasn’t the whole story (see…
Read More...Hidden in last Friday’s weekly Baker Hughes official rig count is a big story happening in the Marcellus/Utica. From the 30,000-foot level, Friday’s latest rig count report appeared just fine.

Read More...The big news (for us) with the weekly Baker Hughes rig count is that last week, Pennsylvania laid down its use of three active drilling rigs, resulting in the lowest rig count in the state in 2 1/2 years. PA now operates 18 active rigs, down from 21 the week prior. The last time PA…
Read More...MDN told you the bottom had dropped out of the rig count two weeks ago (see Baker Hughes U.S. Rig Count Loses 6 @ 594, M-U Drops 2 @ 36). Last week, the drop continued to deepen. We call it free fallin’. The national combined oil and gas rig count dropped by another four to…

Read More...Two of the world’s largest three oilfield services (OFS) companies, Halliburton and Baker Hughes, provided updates this week for their second-quarter performance and operations.
