Baker Hughes Rig Count The Baker Hughes rig counts are an important business barometer for the drilling industry and its suppliers.
When drilling rigs are active they consume products and services produced by the oil service industry.
Rig count trends are driven by the exploration and development spending by oil and natural gas companies, which in turn is influenced by current and future price expectations for oil and natural gas.
The counts may reflect the relative strength and stability of energy prices and overall market activity, however, these counts should not be solely relied on as other specific and pervasive conditions may exist that affect overall energy prices and market activity.
We have been providing rig counts to the public since 1944.
We gather all relevant data through our field service personnel, who obtain the necessary data from routine visits to the various rigs, customers, contractors and other outside sources as necessary.
We base the classification of a well as either oil or natural gas primarily upon filings made by operators in the relevant jurisdiction.
This data is then compiled and distributed to various wire services and trade associations and is published on our website.
We believe the counting process and resulting data is reliable, however, it is subject to our ability to obtain accurate and timely information.
Rig counts are compiled weekly for the U. S.  and Canada and monthly for all international rigs.
Published international rig counts do not include rigs drilling in certain locations, such as Russia, the Caspian region and onshore China because this information is not readily available.
Rigs in the U. S.  and Canada are counted as active if, on the day the count is taken, the well being drilled has been started but drilling has not been completed and the well is anticipated to be of sufficient depth to be a potential consumer of our drill bits.
In international areas, rigs are counted on a weekly basis and deemed active if drilling activities occurred during the majority of the week.
The weekly results are then averaged for the month and published accordingly.
The rig count does not include rigs that are in transit from one location to another, rigging up, being used in non-drilling activities including production testing, completion and workover, and are not expected to be significant consumers of drill bits.
The rig counts are summarized in the table below as averages for each of the periods indicated.
## Table 0 ##
2018 Compared to 2017 Overall the rig count was 2,211 in 2018, an increase of 9% as compared to 2017 due primarily to North American activity.
The rig count in North America increased 13% in 2018 compared to 2017.
Internationally, the rig count increased 4% in 2018 as compared to the same period last year.
Within North America, the increase was primarily driven by the U. S.  rig count, which was up 18% on average versus 2017, partially offset with a decrease in the Canadian rig count, which was down 8% on average.
Internationally, the improvement in the rig count was driven primarily by increases in the Africa region of 18%, the Asia-Pacific region and Latin America region, were also up by 9% and 3%, respectively, partially offset by the Europe region, which was down 8%.2017 Compared to 2016 Overall the rig count was 2,030 in 2017, an increase of 27% as compared to 2016 due primarily to North American activity.
The rig count in North America increased 69% in 2017 compared to 2016.
Internationally, the rig count decreased 1% in 2017 as compared to the same period last year.
Within North America, the increase was primarily driven by the land rig count, which was up 72%, partially offset by a decrease in the offshore rig count of 16%.
Internationally, the rig count decrease was driven primarily by decreases in Latin America of 7%, the Europe region and Africa region, which were down by 4% and 2%, respectively, partially offset by the Asia-Pacific region, which was up 8%.
Results of Operations The following table sets forth, for the years indicated, expenses and other items as a percentage of revenue from operations:
## Table 1 ##
Our financial results for 2018 reflected Company records in revenue and profitability, as we exceeded $4.0 billion of annual revenue with an operating ratio below 80.0%.
We believe the increase in revenue during the year was driven by the continued strength of the domestic economy and consistent execution of our long-term strategy of providing industry-leading service to our customers at a fair price.
These factors, combined with the increase in freight density in our service center network and our continued focus on improving operating efficiency, led to a 310 basis-point improvement in our operating ratio compared to 2017.
As a result, our net income and diluted earnings per share increased 30.6% and 31.1%, respectively, in 2018 as compared to 2017.2018 Compared to 2017 Key financial and operating metrics for 2018 and 2017 are presented below:
## Table 2 ##
RevenueRevenue increased $685.6 million, or 20.4% as compared to 2017, due to a $679.1 million increase in LTL revenue and a $6.5 million increase in non-LTL revenue.
LTL revenue was higher in 2018 due to increases in both LTL tons and yield.
The 10.1% increase in LTL tons during 2018 resulted from a 9.4% increase in LTL shipments and a 0.6% increase in LTL weight per shipment as compared to 2017.
We believe these increases were driven by a stronger U. S.  domestic economy and market share gains resulting from increased demand for the consistent levels of superior service that we provide to our customers.
