US oil rigs rise, production set to increase

摘要

Houston-US oil rigs rose by just three to 474 on Wednesday, according to the Baker Hughes rig count, on a week cut short by the country’s Thanksgiving celebration and the formal start of a six-week holiday period that typically features sluggish drilling activity. The meager increase followed a giant leapfrog last week when the oil rig count rose by 19 to 471-the biggest weekly gain posted since July 2015.
