Texas added a rig in the past week to reach 485, but the state is down 47 rigs since starting 2019 with 532 (8.8 percent).. The count of active oil and gas drilling rigs has declined five straight weeks in the U.S. and four straight weeks in the Permian Basin as of May 10 as the 2019 slump for activity continues, according to Baker Hughes. The count was 988 (fewest since March 2018) in the U.S. – the third straight week. . Rig counts are plunging in the Permian Basin and fewer energy companies are looking to drill in Texas, yet another sign that the global coronavirus pandemic is taking a heavy toll on the Lone Star State’s vital oil and natural gas industry. According to Baker Hughes, the nationwide rig count fell. . Permian Basin and Texas continued their declines in count of active drilling rigs. Baker Hughes said as of Aug. 15 there were 255 rigs in Permian (down 1 in the past week, down 48 or 16 percent from 303 a year ago) and 242 rigs in Texas (down 1 in past week, down 31 or 11 percent from 273 a year.

Onshore oil drilling rig

This article lists the main components of a onshore . rigs have similar elements, but are configured with a number of different drilling systems to suit drilling in the marine environment. The equipment associated with a rig is to some extent dependent on the type of rig but typically includes at least some of the items listed below. [pdf]

Shallow oil drilling rig

A shallow well generally refers to a design drilled to a relatively shallow depth compared to other types of wells. Operations often drill these wells where oil deposits are close to the surface or within shallo. Barge rigs work in shallower waters, usually less than 20 feet deep. After being floated to the drilling location, the hull is brought to rest on the ocean floor, creating a stable platform for drilling. Many barge rigs operate in the Gulf of Mexico and around the world. [pdf]
