Baker Hughes is redefining its role in the industry by positioning itself as an “industrial energy technology company,” rather than just an oilfield services (OFS) provider.

Oklahoma gained one active rig, bringing its total to 44—two more than this time last year. Meanwhile, the national rig count fell by four to 576, marking the lowest level since December 2021.
