U.S. Oil-Rig Count Falls in Latest Week
By Lisa Beilfuss
The U.S. oil-rig count fell by eight to 644 in the latest reporting week, the third-straight decline after six consecutive weeks of increases, according to Baker Hughes Inc.
The number of U.S. oil-drilling rigs, which is viewed as a proxy for activity in the oil industry, has fallen sharply since oil prices started falling last year.
The rig count dropped for 29 straight weeks before climbing modestly in recent weeks.
Despite recent increases, there are still about 50% fewer rigs working since a peak of 1,609 in October.
