Oil Rigs decline slightly

A few comments from Steven Kopits of Princeton Energy Advisors LLC on July 21, 2017:

• Total US oil rigs were down 1 to 764

• Horizontal oil rigs were down 2 to 653

• $45 WTI seems sufficient to restrain US oil rig count growth

• However, shale well productivity yoy continues to surge based on early data.   If the numbers continue to hold up, $45 will soon be a ceiling, not a floor, and oil prices could fall to $39-42 / barrel WTI by this time next year
