摘要

The US oil and gas rig count rose by 15 to 308 in the week ending Sept. 23, rig data provider Enverus said, marking the largest weekly gain in the more than six months since the current industry downturn began. The week-on-week increase brought the nationwide rig count, which had been rangebound in low 280s to the mid-290s for 14 weeks, above 300 for the first time since early June. All rigs added to the domestic fleet in the past week were oil-directed. The oil rig count rose by 17 to 217, while rigs chasing natural gas dropped by two to 91.
