“Our financial results for the second quarter came in line with our expectations, as the overall U.S. land contract drilling market continued to be impacted by elevated rig churn from headwinds driven by customer consolidation, accelerating drilling efficiencies and increased fiscal discipline by E&P customers,” said Independence Contract Drilling CEO Anthony Gallegos in the press release. “These headwinds have continued into the third quarter of 2024 and resulted in the delay or cancellation of expected third-quarter rig reactivation opportunities and additional rig releases where our rigs will be required to be placed with new customers. . . . Assuming our re-contracting efforts are successful, we expect our operating rig count will return to second quarter levels by the end of the fourth quarter of 2024.”
