Rig Count Drops For 17th Week With Smallest Decline Of 2015

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Crude prices are undecided how to react to this week's 20 rig decline in total rig count to 1028. This is the 17th weekly decline in a row (down over 46% from the highs) but the pace of declines is dropping rapidly as it appears the 'efficiency' has been wrung out for now.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

"Undecided" huh? Seems more like it's being ignored. These stats don't seem to mean much yet.

Come on guys, think it through.  As the total rig count has been halved in six months, a weekly absolute number decline at half the absolute level six months ago is the same weekly percentage decline.  The industry is vaporizing at approximately the same rate!

Try again, max rigs were a bit over 1800 and those rigs going off line aren't disappearing. They will be parked until the next time.....

In case anyone's screen was cut off short... The headline was supposed to read, "Smallest Decline of 2015 Since Lehman".

..93 rigs in the Bakken this morning; 98 at the end of last week...so a drop of about 6% week over week............this is an accleration compared to the prior week over week comparison.

The next losses wont be voluntary, lack of capital.

Bank here, yeah that well wont be enough collateral.

Production volume is surely more important than rig count. If you have 1000 rigs producing one barrel per day each and two rigs producing 10,000 barrels per day each you could shut down 90% of rigs and make next to no difference.
