Houston—The US oil and gas rig count moved up one to 457 in the week ending Feb. 10, rig data provider Enverus said, as growth slowed from double-digit rig increases in the previous two weeks, even with WTI oil prices improving toward $60/b. The week’s single net rig add came on the oil side, as rigs chasing that commodity moved up three to 338, while those chasing natural gas were down two to 119.
