摘要

The US oil and gas rig count rose by three to 871 on the week as most basins either added rigs or stood still, energy analytics and software company Enverus said Sept. 8, amid domestic production that ticked up past the 12 million b/d mark. Rigs chasing oil declined by four leaving 662, while natural gasprone rigs gained seven for a total 209. The giant Permian Basin, the country's largest oil reservoir that spans both West Texas and Southeast New Mexico, gained the most rigs for the week ended Sept. 7 - three, hitting a new recent high of 347.
