Didn't see anything on rig counts from BHI so here goes. I guess we only obsess about API's currently, although, IMO, rig counts are much more important.

US count is the best this year and appears to bring the traditional year-end decline to a close. I wouldn't read too much into the CAN decline since it probably has to do with mild weather and impassable roads since a lot of the drilling is in remote areas.

US 790 +30
CAN 485 -60
NA 1275 -30
GOM 116 -2
OIL 181 +25
GAS 609 +5

Still quiet in the water though ODS, which looks at contracted rigs and could be a precursor of the BHI count of working rigs, gives a better picture. I really like the increased activity in the North Sea which has recently been more like the Dead Sea. Maybe the oil honchos in Norway and the U.K. finally noticed $28 Brent.
