This week, U.S. energy firms added oil and natural gas rigs for the first time in four weeks, energy services firm Baker Hughes. Despite this week's rig increase, the total count was still down 116, or 16% below this time last year.
The total oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, rose by one to 604 for the week of May 17. Oil rigs rose by one to 497 this week, while gas rigs were unchanged at 103.
The oil and gas rig count dropped about 20% in 2023 after rising by 33% in 2022 and 67% in 2021, due to a decline in oil and gas prices, higher labor and equipment costs from soaring inflation, and as companies focused on paying down debt and boosting shareholder returns instead of raising output.
