The Enverus Daily Rig Count is the most accurate and up-to-date rig count in the energy industry!
US Rig Count
from previous week
Enverus revolutionized the rig count process by tracking more than 95% of the U.S. rig fleet on a daily basis, primarily through the use of GPS units. Users no longer have to wait a week or more to access the rig data they need to make time-sensitive decisions. The information presented on this page is fed directly from the Enverus Rig Analytics database and updated daily.
In addition to the information on this page, Enverus’ Rig Analytics include well operator, lat/long location, driller, rig specs and other important attributes at the well and rig level. For more information about the full Enverus Rig Analytics offering, please contact us.
The U.S. rig count reached 657 during the week ended Jan. 3, down 15 rigs from the previous week’s high point, according to Enverus Foundations data. The count is down 18 rigs, or 3%, in the last month and down 204 rigs, or 24%, YOY. All numbers discussed are weekly peaks to avoid the sometimes wide variability of daily numbers.
Most of the decrease in the last week came from drilling programs outside the major basins. Among the major basins, the Gulf Coast’s two-rig drop was the largest, leaving it with 73 rigs running. Appalachia and the Permian dropped one rig each to 40 and 293. The Williston Basin added one rig to reach 35, while the Anadarko and DJ basins were flat at 52 and 15 rigs.
