Figures are unitary count (#) not seasonally adjusted (NSA). The series start in January 2000.
The series reside in the historical catalog (United States » Energy » Baker Hughes » North American Rotary Rig Count » Weekly) and are:
- BHAROW.IUSA_OFSH = Active rotary rigs: Gas and oil, (#, NSA) - for U.S. Offshore
- BHARW.IUSA_GOME = Gas and oil - for U.S. Gulf of Mexico
- BHARGSW.IUSA_GOME = Gas
- BHAROLW.IUSA_GOME = Oil
Because a catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
About the dataset:
- The "U.S. Gulf of Mexico" count includes only the four Gulf states (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama). Although it borders the Gulf, Florida's production (if any) is classified as Atlantic.
- The "U.S. offshore" count is more inclusive, but is dominated by the Gulf of Mexico.
