The number of oil and gas rigs in the world in March decreased due to Canada

The number of active oil and gas rigs in the world decreased in March due to Canada. This was announced by the American oil service company Baker Hughes.

On average, there were 1,793 installations worldwide last month, compared to 1,813 in February. At the same time, the March level is 86 lower than the indicator for the same month of 2023.

In the US, the number of installations in March increased by 2 compared to the previous month and amounted to 625. Meanwhile, in Canada, their number fell by 35 to 197.

The number of rigs in the Middle East decreased by 5 last month (to 344). At the same time, their number increased by 10 (up to 229) in the Asia-Pacific region, by 4 (up to 118) in Europe, and by 4 (up to 115) in Africa. In Latin America, as before, there were 165 rigs (the lowest figure since July 2022).

Baker Hughes has been publishing data on rigs in operation since 1944. At first, the company collected information only in the USA and Canada, since 1975 – all over the world. Since June 2019, it has included in its calculations the number of drilling rigs in Ukraine, while the recalculation of consolidated data for Europe for past periods was not carried out in this regard.

The average monthly number of oil and gas drilling rigs operating in the world in 2023 increased for the third year in a row. The figure rose to 1,814 units compared to 1,747 in 2022.

According to the mass media, the historical maximum in terms of the number of working drilling rigs was recorded in 1981 — 5,624 rigs. The minimum number was recorded in 2020, it was 1,352 units.
