U.S. Oil Rig Count Rises By 1 to 410 -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01-17

1330 ET - Rigs drilling for oil in the U.S. increased by one this week to 410, or 68 fewer 1han a year ago, Baker Hughes reports. The EIA in its latest outlook expects U.S. oil production to be little changed this year from 2025 around 13.6 million barrels a day, but to fall by 340,000 b/d in 2027 as lower drilling rates start to have an effect. Production was a record last year as rising well-level productivity offset a 13% drop in the number of rigs, the EIA said. But "over the next two years, we expect sustained lower crude oil prices will result in a pullback in drilling and completion activity that is enough to outweigh ongoing increases in productivity." Rigs drilling for natural gas fell by two this week to 122, 24 more than a year ago, according to Baker Hughes. (anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
