U.S. energy companies kept oil rigs unchanged at 869 for the week ending Aug. 17, as crude prices continued to decline, hitting a near two-month low earlier this week. 

 

The number of gas rigs also stayed at 186 gas rigs for the week, compared to 182 gas rigs a year earlier, Baker Hughes said in its closely followed report on Friday.
