中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社10月19日报道，美国钻井工人本周连续第二周增加了石油钻井平台，将钻井平台数量提升到2015年3月以来的最高水平。 贝克休斯能源服务公司在上周五的报告中表示，钻井工在本周内增加了四台油井，到10月19日，总数达到873台。 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736台钻井平台处于活跃状态），原因是能源公司加大了产量，以获得更大的利润。 由于运输方面的限制，无法从美国最大的油田——二叠系盆地运输石油，自6月以来，新钻井已陷入停顿，但随着新管道的启动和瓶颈的解决，新钻井有开始恢复的现象。 今年到目前为止，美国石油期货平均价格为每桶67.24美元，2017年同期的平均价格为50.85美元，2016年同期的平均价格为43.47美元。 展望未来，预估2018年的原油期货大约为每桶69.42美元，2019年的原油期货交易约每桶69.25美元。 美国金融服务公司Cowen & Co本周表示，其跟踪的勘探和生产公司E&P提供的指导表明，该公司今年的计划资本支出增长了18%。 Cowen称，它追踪的E&P预计2018年的总支出将达到853亿美元。而其在2017年预计2018年支出为722亿美元。 美国投资银行Piper Jaffray能源专家西蒙斯公司（Analysts at Simmons & Co）的分析师们本周预测，石油和天然气钻井平台的平均总量将从2017年的876台上升到2018年的1031台，2019年将为1092台，2020年将为1227台。 根据西蒙斯对2018年的预测,由于1067台石油和天然气钻井平台已经投入使用，钻井机将不必在今年剩余时间增加任何钻井平台。 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1022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。 美国能源信息管理局在其短期能源展望报告（STEO）中称，美国2018年的原油产量预计将增加139万桶/日，达到1074万桶/日。 詹晓晶摘自路透社 原文如下： U.S. rig count rises to highest since March 2015 -Baker Hughes U.S. drillers added oil rigs for a second week in a row this week, raising the rig count to the highest level since March 2015. Drillers added four oil rigs in the week to Oct. 19, bringing the total count to 873, 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 736 rigs were active because energy companies have ramped up production to capture prices that are higher in 2018 than 2017. Due to transport constraints to remove oil from the Permian Basin, the largest oilfield in the United States, new drilling had stalled since June but has begun to edge up as a new pipeline is due to start up and help the bottleneck. So far this year, U.S. oil futures have averaged $67.24 per barrel. That compares with averages of $50.85 in calendar 2017 and $43.47 in 2016. Looking ahead, crude futures were trading around $69.42 per barrel for the balance of 2018 and at $69.25 for calendar 2019. U.S. financial services firm Cowen & Co this week said the exploration and production (E&P) companies it tracks have provided guidance indicating an 18 percent increase this year in planned capital spending. Cowen said the E&Ps it tracks expect to spend a total of $85.3 billion in 2018. That compares with projected spending of $72.2 billion in 2017. Analysts at Simmons & Co, energy specialists at U.S. investment bank Piper Jaffray, this week forecast the average combined oil and natural gas rig count would rise from 876 in 2017 to 1,031 in 2018, 1,092 in 2019 and 1,227 in 2020. Since 1,067 oil and gas rigs were already in service, drillers would not have to add any rigs for the rest of the year to hit Simmons’ forecast for 2018. Year-to-date, the total number of oil and gas rigs active in the United States has averaged 1,022. 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. U.S. crude oil output in 2018 is expected to rise 1.39 million barrels per day to 10.74 million bpd, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration said in its Short Term Energy Outlook (STEO).
