North America Breaks Rig Loss Streak
North America has broken a string of consecutive weekly rig losses, according to Baker Hughes’ latest rotary rig count, which was released on September 15th.
The region added 17 rigs week on week, with nine of these coming from the U.S. and eight from Canada, taking North America’s total rig count up to 831. Of the total North America rig count figure, 641 rigs hail from the U.S. and 190 come from Canada.
Baker Hughes, which has issued the rotary rig counts to the petroleum industry since 1944, describes the figures as an important business barometer for the drilling industry and its suppliers. The company obtains its working rig location information in part from Enverus, which produces daily rig counts using GPS tracking units.

Thousands Urge Biden to Stop New Oil and Gas Projects
Tens of thousands of people rallied in New York, urging U.S. President Joe Biden to end approvals for new oil and gas projects as world leaders are heading to New York to take part in a climate summit. Leaders are gathering in New York for the UN General Assembly and a separate Climate Ambition Summit at the UN headquarters.
The White House has said that President Biden does not plan to attend the Climate Ambition Summit.
The Biden Administration has recently canceled seven oil and gas leases for the Alaska Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The decision overturned ones made by the Trump Administration, which awarded the leases. But the Biden administration approved a highly controversial project in Alaska in March this year, sparking the outrage of environmentalists after pledging to clip the wings of the U.S. oil and gas industry.
