World Oil & Gas Rig Count

The latest North America rig data shows a noticeable uptick in drilling activity, led primarily by the Permian, which continues to dominate basin-level operations. As of November 25, 2025, the Permian has climbed to 64 rigs, reinforcing its role as the region’s engine of growth after several months of steady gains. The Marcellus also shows resilience with 7 active rigs, maintaining consistent gas-focused development despite broader market fluctuations. Meanwhile, the Eagle Ford posts 10 rigs, reflecting a moderate but stable level of activity as operators balance oil and liquids-rich gas opportunities. Across other basins, movements remain mixed, but the overall trend indicates a slow but sustained recovery from mid-year softness. Recent weekly increases, especially in the Permian and Eagle Ford, suggest renewed confidence heading into late 2025 as operators respond to improving price signals and operational efficiencies.
