Rodent + 1,424 January 12, 2018 Rigs have been steady or lower in the past couple of weeks despite higher oil prices. And while the US can do more with fewer rigs, compared to past years, I would still expect rig count to inch up in a few months, as it catches up with the higher oil prices. There is always a lag with the charts, oil prices compared to the number of rigs. It's not an instantaneous reaction. While some are saying that this may mean the end to rig counts swaying prices, I beg to differ. Now that a single rig is responsible for so much more production, I say it will be the other way around after things shake out. Each rig taken out of service or put in service will have a greater effect on oil production than in years past. For today, I say rigs will be up.

Seleskya + 50 AS January 12, 2018 Perhaps ... but remember earlier talk of the oilfield services companies not benefitting from the price rise and having carried the oil companies on their backs during the 'crisis'. Now they will be wanting payback and I expect services to get more expensive now. Maybe this will affect rig count? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rodent + 1,424 January 12, 2018 Maybe. Dallas Fed survey for end of december says 42% of polled executives at 132 oil and gas firms expect rig count to rise "substantially" if oil holds between $61 and $65 per barrel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rodent + 1,424 February 2, 2018 Happy rig count day again, my fellow community members! Rigs up, down? Flat? And how about that Canada! They've added hundreds of rigs in the last few weeks. Production in US is now a hair's breadth away from 10 million bdp. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomTom + 183 March 3, 2018 Hmm, it looks like the rig count is flattening out.. I wonder how many oil rigs will be added with WTI at $60 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder how many oil rigs will be added with WTI at $60 I don't think we'll see the crazy adds we saw in the later part of 2016 and early 2017. Nevertheless, production is booming, because fewer rigs are needed now to kick out the same production. Every oil rig addition today means more than a single oil rig addition a year or two ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rodent + 1,424 March 16, 2018 WTI is up on largely due to technicals, I think. There is absolutely no significant catalyst that I can see that would cause WTI would increase today. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
