Writer: Aries OneAries One

Updated: Jan 26

The global oil and gas rig count continues to fluctuate, reflecting dynamic trends across key regions. The latest Baker Hughes rig count report shows mixed results, with the United States experiencing a slight decrease in active rigs, while Canada and international markets see notable growth. Here's a breakdown of recent rig activity:


  • United States: Rig activity in the U.S. has declined slightly, with two fewer rigs in operation this week, bringing the total to 585. Over the past year, the U.S. has seen a net decrease of 34 rigs, indicating ongoing adjustments within the domestic oil and gas industry.

  • Canada: Canada’s rig count, however, tells a different story. The country added five rigs this week, increasing the total to 223. This represents an impressive year-over-year growth of 43 rigs, underscoring Canada’s continued commitment to expanding its energy capabilities.

  • International: The international rig count stands at 947, marking a significant monthly increase of 16 rigs and a year-over-year rise of 7 rigs. This uptick signals sustained global interest in oil and gas exploration, with numerous regions contributing to this growth.

Implications for the Global Oil and Gas Industry

The increase in rig activity, especially in Canada and international markets, reflects strong demand and optimism in the oil and gas sector. While the U.S. shows some signs of slowing down, it is evident that Canada and other regions are ramping up efforts to meet global energy needs. The surge in international rigs may also indicate heightened exploration and production activities in various global basins, contributing to a diversified supply chain.
