A few comments from Steven Kopits of Princeton Energy Advisors LLC on Aug 18, 2017:

• Rigs counts are now off the peak

• Total US oil rigs were down 5 to 763

• Horizontal oil rigs were down 4 at 650
...
• Expect rigs counts to roll off for the next three months or so, with oil prices languishing in the $46-49 range typically.
