中国石化新闻网讯 据管道&天然气杂志网3月19日报道，尽管油价本周从近28个月高点回落，但美国能源公司油气钻机数量出现自1月以来最大周增幅。 据能源服务公司贝克休斯公司（Baker Hughes Co.）周五发布的报告中称，截至3月19日的当周，石油和天然气钻机数量增加9台，至411台，为去年4月份以来的最高水平。 根据追溯到1940年的贝克休斯数据显示，自2020年8月跌至244台的历史低点以来，钻机数量在过去7个月里不断攀升，增加了68%。然而，总数仍然是361台，比去年同期减少了47%。 本周美国石油钻机增加9台，至318台，为去年5月以来最高水平，而天然气钻机数量保持不变为92台。 美国一半以上的石油钻机位于德克萨斯州西部和新墨西哥州东部的二叠纪盆地，本周该地区的钻机总数增加了4台，达到216台，为去年5月份以来的最高水平。 今年到目前为止，钻井公司已经在二叠纪盆地增加41台钻机。相比之下，去年同期该盆地没有增加钻机。 政府周一在月度预测中表示，美国最大产油盆地二叠纪盆地的石油产量预计将在4月份连续第二个月上升。 本周，美国原油期货价创下2020年9月以来最大跌幅，由于人们越来越担心欧洲新冠疫情病例增多。本月初，美国原油期货曾飙升至每桶近68美元的28个月高点。 由于油价自2020年10月以来一直在上涨，一些能源公司在过去两年削减了钻井和完井支出后，在2021年增加了支出。 然而，由于企业继续把重点放在增加现金流、减少债务和增加股东回报上，而不是增加产出，因此支出的增加仍然很小。 美国金融服务公司Cowen&Co表示，该公司追踪的45家独立勘探与生产公司计划2021年比2020年增加约2%的支出。此前，资本支出在2020年和2019年分别减少了约49%和12%。 郝芬 译自 管道&天然气杂志网 原文如下： U.S. Drillers Add Most Oil & Gas Rigs in a Week Since January U.S. energy firms added the most oil and natural gas rigs in a week since January even as oil prices this week pulled back from a recent 28-month high. The oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, rose nine to 411 in the week to March 19, its highest since April, energy services firm Baker Hughes Co said in its closely followed report on Friday. That puts the rig count, which has climbed over the past seven months, up 68% since falling to a record low of 244 in August 2020, according to Baker Hughes data going back to 1940. The total count, however, is still 361 rigs, or 47%, below this time last year. U.S. oil rigs rose nine to 318 this week, their highest since May, while gas rigs were unchanged at 92. More than half the U.S. oil rigs are in the Permian basin in West Texas and eastern New Mexico where total units rose four to 216 this week, the most since May. So far this year, drillers have added 41 rigs in the Permian. That compares with no rigs added in the basin during the same period last year. Oil output from the Permian, the top producing basin in the country, is expected to rise for a second straight month in April, the government said in a monthly forecast on Monday. U.S. crude futures this week fell by the most since September 2020 on growing worries about rising COVID-19 cases in Europe after soaring to a 28-month high near $68 a barrel earlier this month. With prices mostly rising since October 2020, some energy firms have boosted spending in 2021 after cutting drilling and completion expenditures over the past two years. That spending increase, however, remains small as firms continue to focus on boosting cash flow, reducing debt and increasing shareholder returns rather than adding to output. U.S. financial services firm Cowen & Co said the 45 independent exploration and production (E&P) companies it tracks plan to increase spending about 2% in 2021 versus 2020. That follows capex reductions of roughly 49% in 2020 and 12% in 2019. |
