HOUSTON – The US Gulf of Mexico rig count has increased by one to 22 over the past week, according to the Baker Hughes Weekly Rig Count of Oct. 7, 2016. That number is down by nine year-over-year.
The overall US offshore drilling rig count stands at 23, a result of the increased rig count in the GoM and an additional rig offshore Alaska. The overall US offshore rig count is also down by nine year-over-year.
