Houston-The US oil and natural gas rig count rose by three on the week to 285, rig data provider Enverus said Sept. 3, as the last four months of the year approach with the drilling arena not showing much change. Two of the three rigs added in the week that ended Sept. 2 were oil-focused, as that number rose to 196. The other rig was gas-focused, for a total of 89. The big jump for the week came from the Permian Basin of West Texas/New Mexico, which saw an increase of four rigs to 131.
