Oil Rig Counts

I decided to chart the World and United States Oil Rig Counts...due to the recent spike in oil prices.

Yearly Worldwide Oil Rig Count Averages...

Yearly United States Baker Hughes Oil Rig Count Averages...

data provided by Baker Hughes, Inc.

United States oil rig counts began trending upward in 1973. Their 1981 peak occured just one year prior to the start of the 18 year US equities bull market. US Oil rig counts hit their record low in 1999...one year prior to the conclusion of the 18 year equities bull market.
