   DAVENPORT, FL (DTN) - North American energy drilling activity fell by two 
rigs to 827 in the current week, Baker Hughes' weekly rotary rigs report 
released Friday (11/6) showed.

   Compared with the corresponding week of 2025, combined rigs for Canada and 
the United States were up 88 from the 739 units active during that period, 
according to the report.

   This week's decline was driven by Canada dropping three rigs to 223, while 
the U.S. added one rig to reach 604.

   Oil-directed U.S. rigs rose by one to 463, while gas-directed drilling also 
increased by one to 131. Miscellaneous rigs fell by one to 10.

   By trajectory, U.S. horizontal rigs increased by two to 529, while 
directional rigs fell by one to 51 and vertical rigs declined by one to 21.
