JD, Red, Td etc al...battle of the rigsI have been looking at the data and it is interesting. While we all read the stories about material and labour shortages I was looking at the rig demand splits based on commodity.
Maybe interesting maybe not but from Jan 7th to Apr 1st the following rig count changes were reported
Gas rigs +28.9%
Oil rigs +10.8%
Now we all know the oil rigs and fracs are not growing at the rate required BUT with all the attention to help Europe get off Russian natural gas....do we see a battle for rigs?
With natural gas prices still elevated this could be interesting to track.
Another issue oil supply will have to deal with. In the winter people talked about gas to oil switching...now we hear reports of coal surge...these are certainly interesting times.
