According to Baker Hughes, U.S. oil rig counts continue to decline, falling by seven in the week ending June 12th and an additional four in the week ending June 19th to a total of 631. The weekly declines were the 27th and 28th in a row, although the rate of the declines continues to decelerate. Overall, the total U.S. oil rig count fell to a new four and a half year low on June 19th. Despite the decline in oil rigs, weekly crude oil production figures show continued growth through the first week of June, however drilling productivity estimates show declining production in coming months throughout areas accounting for 95% of recent production gains.
