20/06/2025 Argaam Exclusive

A new Baker Hughes report showed a decline in the US oil rig count for the eighth consecutive week — a signal of potentially lower crude supply from the US.

 

The number of US oil rigs decreased by one in the week ended June 20 to 438.

 

Similarly, the number of natural gas rigs declined by two to 111, but remained higher year-on-year by 13.
