US drillers cut oil and gas rigs for 10th week in a row, Baker Hughes says


"(Reuters) -U.S. energy firms this week cut the number of oil and natural gas rigs operating for a 10th week in a row for the first time since July 2020, energy services firm Baker Hughes said in its closely followed report on Thursday.
The oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, fell by eight to 539 in the week to July 3, the lowest since October 2021.

And yes, the commodities future guys watch the rig counts.
For early 2024 over 700s in use, rest of 2024 600s, now in the mid 500s

Folks do not let a rig sit idle unless there's significant outside issues.

Which also means barrel prices of oil are lower, thus gas prices working lower, and reducing inflation pressure.

Price of gas ain't reflecting it.

Bully for donny in doing that.

And I will applaud it when gas goes to at least $5 a gallon like i've always said it should. Best thing for the State of Texas. Y'all maggies spit on us here by wanting it cheap.

amusing. and why would you want gas 5 bucks a gallon other than to "spit at maggies"?



why should gas be 5 beans a gal? in the USA

[Unique_Carpenter]

High gas prices = higher transportation costs = small/medium business folks can't afford to bring in inventory.

Why don't you use the search key since i've stated it more than once here.

That should amuse you. Than you can get back to us.

Else if you want an answer to it again, clear out all the request put to you on the board first.

That will really amuse us.

you want Oil to be taxed more than it already is. if Texas actually needed the revenue you might have a point. Texas has about 24B in surplus.

They fix up the inner structure, schools and such.

Texas has billions for that without gouging even more out of Oil. Texas is Oil and Oil is Texas. don't tax the hand that feeds you too hard eh?

That's awesome! Then they will be able to pay for the damages from the recent flooding...and from more of the same that will increase in frequency and severity due to climate change influences. And they won't need FEMA either!

Climate Change? You’re kidding, right.
There have been flash floods in the Texas Hill Country even before recorded history.
The difference between then and now is there were no camp grounds full of people to drown.

There have always been people who camped near water who have been subjected to dangerous flash floods. Or do you think indigenous peoples walked farther than they had to for water.

But that’s not really relevant to the discussion. The fact is that warmer air holds more moisture which means that rainfall can be much more intense and dense than you get with cooler air.

IE. Storms are now much heavier than in the past because our atmosphere is much warmer and the oceans are much warmer than in pre industrial times.

What is the topic of this thread? Seems like it says drill baby drill but some of you seem to want to make it about climate change and flooding in the hill country.
