   SECAUCUS, NJ (DTN) -- North American drilling activity was unchanged this 
week, with no net addition or loss in rigs across the U.S. and Canada after the 
prior week's drop of 17, Baker Hughes' rigs report released on Friday (12/12)

had for the same time of last year.

   Also in the U.S., oil-directed rigs rose by one to 414 week-on-week. Gas 
rigs fell by two to 127. Miscellaneous rigs were unchanged at seven.

   In North America, land-based drilling advanced by one to 528 this week. 
Offshore activity declined by two to 17. Activity in inland waters were 
unchanged at three. The Gulf of Mexico rig count slid by two to 10.

   Canada's total rig count rose by one week-on-week to 192, with oil-directed

were one above last year's level of 191.
