After several weeks of decline, the United States has added six additional oil rigs, according to weekly data from Baker Hughes, a GE group company.

The gas platforms, however, decreased by four.

Fluctuations this week bring the total number of active platforms in the country to 935, down 122 from the 1,057 a year ago.

Texas and West Virginia were tied this week for the largest number of lost devices, at four each. Ohio lost three platforms and the number of Oklahoma was reduced by one.

Several states have added platforms this week. These accounts are:

• Pennsylvania (4)
• Louisiana (3)
• Alaska (2)
• New Mexico (2)
• North Dakota (1)
• Wyoming (1)

Among the main basins, the Permian led all losses with three units, while Utica lost two.

Despite Permian losses, the shale basin still contains 441 active platforms, accounting for nearly half of the total number of active platforms in the United States.

Woodford Cana, DJ-Niobrara, Eagle Ford and Williston have all seen their fixtures decline one by one.
