Texas declined by 14 rigs last week, while New Mexico and Oklahoma each dropped four. North Dakota was down three. Colorado, Pennsylvania and Wyoming lost two each and Kansas was off by one.
California and Louisiana gained on rig each. Alaska, Arkansas, Ohio, Utah and West Virginia were all unchanged.
