Despite the additions, the onshore rig count remains off by more than 50% from this time last year, when 827 rigs were working in the field.
The latest increase marks the fifth time in the last six weeks that the onshore rig count has increased, according to the latest figures from Baker Hughes, mirroring that of private rig count providers.
DrillingInfo saw its onshore rig count increase by six, with half of those additions coming in the Midland sub-basin of the Permian, according to research from investment bank Capital One Southcoast.
