Platts to launch PGA global rig count pages

To bring added value to Platts Global Alert, Platts proposes to launch on March 1, 2012 pages detailing international oil and gas rig counts from Baker Hughes. These pages will be published in addition to existing rig count pages for North America. Existing North America Baker Hughes data pages will be moving to a new page series on March 1, as announced earlier this month.

A full list of the pages for the new rig count data can be found below, detailing existing and new pages. Please send questions or comments to PGA@platts.com by February 17, 2012.
