A few comments from Steven Kopits of Princeton Energy Advisors LLC on June 9, 2017:

• smallest number of horizontal oil rigs added – one – since January

• Total US oil rigs were up 8 to 741

• This week’s horizontal rig additions are consistent with slowing activity in the sector – but one week does not a trend make
