The company, showcasing current scenario of the U.S. oil industry reported that the count of oil rigs marginally increased by 3 whereas natural gas incurred a rig loss of 5. With this complete U.S. energy sector witnessed a decrease of 2 rigs from previous week and an altogether decrement of 265 rigs was observed on yearly basis.
