Fall auctions delete 51 more rigs from drillers books

摘要

Another big round of rig retirements has taken 51 more U.S. rigs off drillers' books, and there are certain to be more before yearend. The 51 rigs in question were sold at auctions held by Kruse Auctioneers in Fort Worth, Houston, Pittsburgh, and Oklahoma City in September and October. Another Kruse auction, slated for November 7-8 in Odessa, Texas, features 10 drilling rigs. The nearby table summarizes the results by region and horsepower class.
