Baker Hughes: North American rig count increases by six
Baker Hughes reported the North American rig count increased by six from the previous week, with oil activity during the week ending May 28 leading the gains in both the US and Canada.
The North American rig count through May 28 was 519, up from the previous week’s count of 513.
The US rig count saw gains only in oil activity, which saw the rig count improve by three. None of the shale basins in the Lower 48 US states saw an increase in natural gas work, leading to a net loss of one rig for the week.

Baker Hughes: Upstream gas work stable in North America
Oilfield services company Baker Hughes reported April 16 that North American natural gas drilling was relatively stable from last week, with only modest gains reported in the US.
Its North American land rig count for the week ending April 16 showed 426 active rigs, up five from the previous week. The US led upstream activity during the week, with one more gas rig and seven more oil rigs active.
All told, about 78% of the upstream activity in the US was focused on oil. The Permian shale basin had the most working rigs in the US, and all but one of the 227 rigs were drilling for oil.
