Rigs in Canada classified as drilling for oil rose 15 to 59, which is 100 less than the 69 in operation one year ago. Rigs classified as drilling for gas rose by 3 to 44, which is now 1 more than in operation one year ago.

The Gulf of Mexico, which is a subset of the U.S. total, was flat at 23 rigs.
