The global oil and gas industry continues to see fluctuations as 2024 nears its end. The latest rig count data from Baker Hughes provides insights into drilling activity across the U.S., Canada, and international markets. These numbers reflect both seasonal trends and broader shifts in the energy landscape.
U.S. Rig Count: Stability Amid Yearly Decline
The U.S. rig count remains steady at 589, showing no change from the previous week but marking a 33-rig drop compared to this time last year. This reflects a focus on efficiency and strategic exploration efforts as the industry navigates fluctuating market demands and geopolitical influences.
Canadian Rig Count: Sharp Seasonal Decline
Canada’s rig count experienced a significant seasonal dip, dropping by 71 rigs this week to 95 active rigs. While such declines are typical in the colder months, the yearly comparison still shows a 9-rig increase, highlighting the country’s ongoing efforts to support energy production and meet domestic and export demands.
International Rig Count: Consistent Downward Trend
The international rig count stands at 919 rigs, unchanged from the prior month’s decline of 31 rigs. Compared to last year, the count reflects a significant drop of 59 rigs, underscoring challenges such as delayed projects and shifting investment priorities in certain regions.
