Reuters Africa reported that the number of US rigs drilling for natural gas dropped by 9 to 927.
As quoted in the market news:
It was the first decline in six weeks in the gas-directed rig count, which peaked at 936 last week, its highest since mid-December. The count is down 6.6 percent from its 2010 peak of 992. That, in turn, was its highest since February 2009, when 1,018 rigs were drilling for gas.
