And across the U.S. there was 1 additional rig for a total of 856 (1,063 a year ago). That marked the first time since August for U.S. and Texas to add rigs in Baker Hughes’ weekly report. Permian Basin matched Texas’ gain with 6 additional rigs in the past week for a total of 421 (489 a year ago). And New Mexico posted its first weekly decline since August by falling 1 to 112 (102 a year ago).
