How do rig utilization rates affect oil and gas industry?

Activity in the oil and gas industry is measured not just by the rig utilization rate. Rigs are required to drill for oil and gas, so the raw number of rigs in the field—the rig count—is an important indicator as well. A high rig utilization rate may signal a need for more rigs in the field, assuming demand remains strong.

Why are rig utilization rates so low?
