With markets trading near one-month highs, Friday’s Baker Hughes Rig Count gave us all a surprise. The BHRC showed a huge drop of 21 total rigs bringing that total to 830 with Crude Oil rigs dropping 17 to 696 and Nat Gas dropped 4 to 133. Misc. rigs were unchanged at 1 and offshore dropped 1 to just 21. The E & P’s are pulling back cap-x dollars, even at a time when we are producing record output in crude oil (12.6 mmbls per day)
