November 9, 2012
Starting this week, LCMC Research will publish a single rig report (US_RigWatch_combined_20121109.pdf). This report contains both STATS and Baker Hughes data, comparing and contrasting the activity posted by the two sources. Reports and data files generated in the old format will continue to be attached to this report. STATS shows 1,731 active rigs as of November 9, 2012, down -15 rigs from a week ago. Oil rigs decreased by -4 (ht: -8, vt-dir: +4.) and total gas rigs decreased by -11 (h.....
