中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社10月6日报道，美国石油钻井平台数量连续第三周下降，尽管原油价格本周达到4年高点，但成本上涨和美国最大油田的管道瓶颈阻碍了6月以来的新钻探。 贝克休斯能源服务公司在报告中表示，本周至10月5日，钻井工人消减了两座石油钻井平台，使总数降至861座。 美国钻井平台的数量是衡量未来产量的早期指标，而今年的数量高于一年前的水平（去年有748台钻井平台处于活跃状态），然而，自6月份以来，钻井平台的数量在860台左右停滞。 超过一半的美国石油钻井平台位于该国最大的页岩油地层二叠纪。据报道，该地区的现役钻井平台本周减少了1座，降至485座。 美国原油期货本周升至2014年末以来的最高水平，上周五，美国基准原油价格接近每桶75美元，自1月份以来，该合约价有望第一次连续第四周上涨。 今年到10月6日，WTI的平均价格为67.01美元，高于2017同期的50.85美元和2016年的43.47美元。 展望未来，预估2018年的平均原油期货交易低于每桶75美元，2019年的平均原油期货交易在每桶74美元左右。 今年到目前为止，在美国活跃的石油和天然气钻井平台的总数平均为1020台，这使得2018年的钻井总数保持在2014年（2014年平均有1862个钻井平台）以来的最高水平，大多数钻井同时生产石油和天然气。 詹晓晶摘自路透社 原文如下： U.S. oil drillers cut rigs for third week in a row The U.S. oil drilling rig count fell for a third consecutive week even though crude prices hit four-year highs this week, as rising costs and pipeline bottlenecks in the nation’s largest oil field have hindered new drilling since June. Drillers cut two oil rigs in the week to Oct. 5, bringing the total count down to 861, General Electric Co’s Baker Hughes energy services firm said in its closely followed report on Friday. The U.S. rig count, an early indicator of future output, is higher than a year ago when 748 rigs were active when energy companies ramped up production amid higher prices. Since June, however, the number of rigs has stalled in the 860s. More than half the total U.S. oil rigs are in the Permian, the country’s biggest shale oil formation. Active units there declined by one this week to 485. U.S. crude futures this week rose to their highest since late 2014 ahead of planned U.S. sanctions on Iranian oil in November. West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the U.S. benchmark, was trading near $75 per barrel on Friday, putting the contract on track to rise for a fourth week in a row for the first time since January. So far this year, WTI has averaged $67.01, up from averages of $50.85 in calendar 2017 and $43.47 in 2016. Looking ahead, crude futures were trading under $75 per barrel for the balance of 2018 and near $74 for calendar 2019. Year-to-date, the total number of oil and gas rigs active in the United States has averaged 1,020. That keeps the total count for 2018 on track to be the highest since 2014, which averaged 1,862 rigs. Most rigs produce both oil and gas.
