Oil Rigs "Oil rig counts take a breather"

A few comments from Steven Kopits of Princeton Energy Advisors LLC on Feb 23, 2018:

• Total US oil rigs took an anticipated breather this week, +1 to 799

• Horizontal oil rigs were up, +1 to 697
...
• The oil price continues to recover

• If rig count additions continue on our forecast trajectory, expect this to weigh on sentiment during March, particularly if supply gains surprise to the upside
