Baker Hughes reported its rig count on Thursday this week and newswires originally posted the following headline: “Gas rigs down by 29 week-on-week.” That headline is misleading and the large drop reflects a re-classification of horizontal rigs in Eagle Ford. According to Baker Hughes, horizontal gas rigs in Eagle Ford dropped by 27, while horizontal oil rigs in the formation increased by the exact same amount. STATS reported a decrease of 1 rig and a decrease of 2 rigs in Eagle Ford horizonta.....
