Where it stands
The price of oil is dropping, but US oil drillers are adding rigs. This is a surprise because oil prices are a key factor in the decision to add or remove rigs.
The latest data from Baker Hughes shows the US rig count has remained unchanged at 588. The Odessa American notes that the basin rig count has increased by three.
Meanwhile, the Canadian rig count has decreased by three, according to the Oil & Gas Journal. The question remains: why are US drillers adding rigs despite the drop in prices?
