US drillers added nine oil rigs in the week
London - Arab Today

Oil edged below $52 a barrel on Monday as rising crude output and drilling in the US countered production cuts led by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) aimed at clearing a supply glut.
US drillers added nine oil rigs in the week to April 28, bringing the count to the most since April 2015, energy services company Baker Hughes said on Friday.
Crude output in the US has hit its highest since August 2015, government data shows.
“The US rig count indicates that there is plenty more to come,” analysts at JBC Energy said in a report, referring to the outlook for US production.
Global benchmark Brent crude for July was down 31 cents at $51.74 a barrel by 1113 GMT. US crude for June was down 24 cents at $49.09 a barrel.
Prices also came under pressure after an official survey showed on Sunday that growth in Chinese manufacturing slowed faster than expected in April, potentially weighing on the outlook for oil demand.
“The moderation in the China Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) could see commodity prices come under some modest pressure,” ANZ bank said in a note.
US output gains are limiting the impact of efforts led by OPEC to cut output by almost 1.8 million barrels per day (bpd) for six months until June to banish a persistent glut.
OPEC and participating non-OPEC countries meet on May 25 to discuss whether to extend the reduction.
Given that inventories remain high and prices are half their mid-2014 level, OPEC members including top exporter Saudi Arabia support prolonging the curbs.
Iran’s oil minister said on Saturday that OPEC and non-OPEC producers had given positive signals for an extension of output cuts, which Tehran would back. Despite OPEC’s efforts, the oil glut has been slow to shift.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) said in its latest monthly market report that oil stocks in industrialized countries were about 336 million barrels above the five-year average, a key indicator for OPEC.
