How Are Natural Gas Prices And The Global Gas Rig Count Correlated?
Natural gas prices and the global gas rig count are positively correlated, with a correlation of almost 95%. As natural gas prices fall, the price realizations for oil and gas producing companies also decline. As a result, these companies are forced to pull back their production, implying that they hold back their capital budget for exploration and production. This leads to a sharp drop in the demand for gas rigs worldwide, resulting in a fall in the global gas rig count. In the table below, we show how the plummeting natural gas prices over the last 20-21 months has caused a steep decline in the global gas rig count (US & International).
