摘要

Houston—The US oil and gas rig count slipped by one to 406 in the week week ending Jan. 6, rig data provider Enverus said, with the Permian Basin posting a six-rig loss in the biggest change of all major basins. As industry looks forward to a more stable year following a 2020 thrashed by the pandemic and low crude prices, rigs in the Permian of West Texas/New Mexico fell to 176 to start 2021, dialing activity back to month-ago levels.
