Baker Hughes has been publishing data on active drilling rigs since 1944. Initially, the company collected information only in the USA and Canada, since 1975 – worldwide.

The historical maximum in the number of operating drilling rigs was noted in 1981 – 5,624 rigs. The lowest number was recorded in 2020 and reached 1,352 installations.

We remind you that on June 3, oil prices fell sharply and reached a four-month low. According to some market analysts, the OPEC+ decision has a negative impact on prices.
