US Rig Count - 462

HOUSTON (AP) — The number of rigs exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. increased by 15 this week to 462.

A year ago, 876 rigs were active. Depressed energy prices have sharply curtailed oil and gas exploration.

Houston oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. said Friday that 371 rigs sought oil and 88 explored for natural gas this week. Three were listed as miscellaneous.

Among major oil- and gas-producing states, Texas gained 15, California was up by two and New Mexico gained one.

Louisiana declined by two. Alaska and Kansas each lost one.

Arkansas, Colorado, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming were unchanged.

The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981. It bottomed out in May at 404.

Why is the whole world silent on the ruling against China?

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/asia-europe-summit-omits-mention-000000436.html

The whole world knows that PCA is not a real court now and will not support a spurious ruling against China. There cannot be 2 international courts in this world. If not, when a country is unhappy with the ruling in 1 international court, it can go to another international court. Supporting a spurious ruling will make a mockery of international laws and undermine the authority of international court.

ASEAN and EU know about the illegitimate status of PCA and the judgement and are silent about the South China Sea ruling.  Therefore, USA knows it has failed in its attempt and decides to attack China in WTO.

UN has publicly declared that PCA is not related to UN.

http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2016-07/15/c_135515304.htm

USA can make a mockery of PCA because PCA is not part of UN.  USA dares not manipulate ICJ because UN won't allow anyone to undermine its credibility and reputation.  For example, USA sought UN's approval for Iraq invasion but UN disapproved it and US & UK invaded Iraq without UN's mandate.  This incident showed that UN would still protect its own credibility and reputation when any motion was illegal and inappropriate.

The truth about South China Sea ruling

Philippines has deceived the whole world intentionally and USA is the mastermind behind this farce.

Philippines filed the case under the instruction of USA in Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) and not in International Court of Justice (ICJ) because it could manipulate the outcome easily with USA as PCA is not a court and is not a UN agency.  Therefore, the outcome of PCA is not legal binding.

This is the reason why Singapore and Malaysia went to ICJ instead of PCA for Pedra Branca judgement because PCA is not a court and can be easily manipulated.
