What is the Rig Count?

The Baker Hughes North America Rig Count is published every Friday and is the leading indicator of demand for oil country tubular goods, drill bits, drilling and completion services, and production chemicals. A rising rig count signals operators are spending capital on new wells — a bullish signal for mineral owners. The count peaked at 2,000+ in 2012 and reached a post-COVID high of ~780 in late 2022.
