Baker Hughes reported on October 23 that the US total rotary rig count remained unchanged at 603 for the second consecutive week, as a one-rig gain in oil drilling offset a one-rig decline in gas. The oil rig count rose by one to 460, while gas rigs fell by one to 132. Miscellaneous rigs were flat.
On a year-over-year basis, the total count of 603 is up 53 from the same period in 2025, with oil rigs running 40 above last year's level and gas rigs 11 higher. Among key shale basins, the Permian held steady at 272 rigs, Eagle Ford added two to reach 43, and the Williston and Granite Wash each gained one to stand at 31 and 22 respectively. The Cana Woodford and DJ Niobrara each shed one rig, falling to 18 and 9.
