美国石油钻井平台数量连续第二周上升

中国石化新闻网讯 据哈特能源3月13日消息，美国石油钻井平台数量连续第二周上升，本周石油和天然气价格大幅下跌，而且许多分析师预测，随着生产商进一步削减新钻井的开支，钻井平台数量将会下降。

能源服务公司贝克休斯在3月13日发布的备受关注的报告中表示，截至3月13日当周，公司新增了一个石油钻井平台，总数达到683个，是去年12月以来的最高水平。然而这比去年同期的833个钻井平台下降了18%。

3月13日，美国原油期货交易价格约为每桶32美元，这意味着该合约将出现自2008年金融危机以来的最大单周跌幅23%，这归因于新型冠状病毒疫情威胁需求且原油生产商承诺供应更多所致。

US Oil Rig Count Rises For Second Week In A Row

The U.S. oil drilling rig count rose for a second week in a row despite a massive drop in both oil and natural gas prices this week and projections by many analysts that the number of rigs will fall as producers deepen their spending cuts on new drilling.

Companies added one oil rig in the week to March 13, bringing the total count to 683, their highest since December, energy services firm Baker Hughes Co. said in its closely followed report on March 13.

That is down 18% from the same week a year ago when 833 rigs were active.

U.S. crude futures traded around $32 per barrel (bbl) on March 13, putting the contract on track for a weekly drop of 23%, its biggest weekly decline since the 2008 financial crisis, as the coronavirus outbreak threatened demand and crude producers promised more supply.
