Today we are reviewing, operators continue to reduce their rig count as we head into the summer. This week we say operators reducing rig count by 15 net rigs. We did see however that the gas plays added rigs this week. To get access to the full rigs database, click here. (subscription required)

Looking at the data, we als see that companies have already spent 42% of their full year 2020 budget as of the first quarter. We expect the second half 2020 to be somewhat brutal for oilfield services and most companies will again talk budget exhausion. While the average spent is 42%, that is however more skewed towards oil focused E&P vs Gas players.

Gas Basin Growth

Marcellus up +1 rig
Haynesville up +1 rig
Piceance Basin up +1 rig

OIl Basin Reductions

Permian down -15
Eagleford down -4
Bakken down -2
