HOUSTON, Sept. 2 (Xinhua) -- The number of operating oil and natural gas rigs in the United States decreased by seven to 1,968 this week, according to a weekly report released here Friday. A total of 1,064 rigs were exploring for oil and 895 for natural gas in the U.S., with another nine rigs listed as miscellaneous, according to the report released by Houston-based oil service company Baker Hughes Inc. The rig count stood at 1,653 a year ago. Of the leading U.S. oil-and gas-producing states, Louisiana lost 6 rigs and New Mexico lost two. California and Colorado lost one rig each. Texas and North Dakota were the only two states that gained rigs this week, with Texas adding two rigs and North Dakota gaining one. The Baker Hughes rig counts, first issued in 1944, act as an important business barometer for drilling firms and their suppliers to gauge the overall business environment of the oil and gas industry. The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981 as the result of the oil boom. It plummeted to a record low of 488 in 1999.U s rig count decreases by 7 to 1 968 - China Alloy Steel Seamless Pipe - Carbon Steel Boiler TubeU s rig count decreases by 7 to 1 968 - China Alloy Steel Seamless Pipe - Carbon Steel Boiler TubeU s rig count decreases by 7 to 1 968 - China Alloy Steel Seamless Pipe - Carbon Steel Boiler TubeU s rig count decreases by 7 to 1 968 - China Alloy Steel Seamless Pipe - Carbon Steel Boiler TubeU s rig count decreases by 7 to 1 968 - China Alloy Steel Seamless Pipe - Carbon Steel Boiler TubeU s rig count decreases by 7 to 1 968 - China Alloy Steel Seamless Pipe - Carbon Steel Boiler TubeU s rig count decreases by 7 to 1 968 - China Alloy Steel Seamless Pipe - Carbon Steel Boiler TubeU s rig count decreases by 7 to 1 968 - China Alloy Steel Seamless Pipe - Carbon Steel Boiler TubeU s rig count decreases by 7 to 1 968 - China Alloy Steel Seamless Pipe - Carbon Steel Boiler TubeU s rig count decreases by 7 to 1 968 - China Alloy Steel Seamless Pipe - Carbon Steel Boiler Tube We are high quality suppliers, our products such as China Alloy Steel Seamless Pipe , Carbon Steel Boiler Tube for oversee buyer.
