中国石化新闻网讯 据彭博社12月21日消息 尽管勘探公司面临自2014年以来最大的季度油价下跌，但美国油田的原油钻探活动仍在增加。 据油田服务提供商贝克休斯周五公布的数据，美国钻井平台本周增加了10个，达到883个。今年，美国油田又部署了100多台钻井平台。 美国科学信息研究所分析师詹姆斯•韦斯特表示，这可能是油价最后一次上涨，因为油价仍处于一年多来的最低水平。考虑到帕斯利能源等公司采取的控制支出举措，预计明年钻机数量会下降。 阿肯色州的技术研究组总裁在电话中称，油价上涨可能暗示原油价格走势与生产商钻探反应之间存在约三个月的滞后。 威廉姆斯表示，勘探人员还可以在年底前试图挤进更多的钻井平台，这样他们就可以在2018年的税收中申报这些钻井成本。或者可能有十个人想要完成钻探，这样他们就可以在圣诞节和新年休假了。 吴慧丹 摘译自 彭博社 原文如下： Shale Explorers Boost Drilling Even After Oil Prices Collapse Crude drilling increased in American fields even as explorers face the biggest quarterly drop in oil prices since 2014. Working U.S. oil rigs rose by 10 this week to 883, according to data released Friday by oilfield services provider Baker Hughes. More than 100 additional rigs have been deployed across American fields this year. It’s likely one of the last increases, said James West, an analyst at Evercore ISI, as oil prices remain at the lowest levels in more than a year. Given moves by companies including Diamondback Energy Inc. and Parsley Energy Inc. to rein in spending, “I would expect to see the rig count dip heading into the new year.” The increase is probably indicative of a roughly three-month lag between a move in crude prices and producers’ drilling response, James Williams, president of WTRG Economics in London, Arkansas, said by telephone. Explorers could have also been trying to squeeze in additional rigs before the end of the year, Williams said, which would allow them to claim those drilling costs on their 2018 taxes. Or, he said, “it may have been ten folks who wanted to get the drilling done so they can take off Christmas and New Year’s.”
