U.S. oil and gas rig count slipped one rig to 562 for the week ending June 12 according to Baker Hughes data, as a two-rig decline in Gulf of Mexico outweighed gains in Anadarko (+1), the Eagle Ford (+1) and Haynesville (+1), while Permian (-1) and All Other (-1) also declined. Gas-directed rigs fell to 121 (-3), their lowest level since October 2025, while oil-directed rigs climbed to 433 (+2) and miscellaneous rigs were unchanged at 8. Haynesville's one-rig gain brought it back to 68, matching its highest level since May 2023, even as the overall gas-directed count fell. Total U.S. rig count is up nine over the last 90 days and now stands seven rigs above this week in 2025, extending positive year-over-year territory for the second consecutive week.
