Nabors

Nabors Industries Ltd., the largest land driller in the world, has “recently” begun to see a weakening in several of its U.S. Lower 48 operating areas and is uncertain how much it will affect industry rig counts and rates, CEO Gene Isenberg said Wednesday. A “significant” reduction in spot market rates is likely in some areas, but any contraction in North American gas drilling is likely to be “shallow and brief.”
