Baker Hughes is set to make job reductions in the US.
According to reports, the company will temporarily close a plant in Louisiana with the loss of 60 positions.
The move is part of wider staffing changes being made across the company.
Earlier this year, the company said it would be reducing its headcount by around 7,000 jobs amid the oil price decline and its acquisition Halliburton.
Last week the company said the average US rig count for last month was down almost 200 from December 2014.
The Baker Hughes rig count shows the figure for January was 1,683 – down 199 – from the 1,822 counted in December.
The average Canadian rig count for January 2015 was 368, down seven from the 375 counted the previous month and down 136 from the 504 counted in January 2014.
Baker Hughes said the worldwide rig count for January 2015 was 3,309, down 261 from the 3,570 counted in December 2014 and down 289 from the 3,598 counted in January 2014.
