美國(guó)石油鉆井平臺(tái)數(shù)量增加至859個(gè)
中國(guó)石化新聞網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)休斯頓普氏能源資訊5月25日消息，貝克休斯(Baker Hughes)上周五表示，本周美國(guó)石油鉆井平臺(tái)的產(chǎn)量增加了15至859個(gè)，其中三分之二來(lái)自Permian盆地，在油價(jià)持續(xù)上漲的情況下，國(guó)內(nèi)活動(dòng)工廠的價(jià)格上漲了約70美元。
位于西德克薩斯和新墨西哥東南部的Permian盆地，由10個(gè)石油鉆塔上升到477個(gè)。
據(jù)貝克休斯的每周北美鉆井平臺(tái)統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)顯示，此前一周，鉆井平臺(tái)上的鉆機(jī)數(shù)量減少了844個(gè)，盡管在盆地之間也有變動(dòng)，這一數(shù)據(jù)使用了標(biāo)準(zhǔn)普爾全球普氏精確數(shù)據(jù)提供的原始數(shù)據(jù)。
目前，美國(guó)石油鉆井平臺(tái)的數(shù)量是自2015年3月以來(lái)最高的，當(dāng)時(shí)油價(jià)下跌的速度快于6個(gè)月前油價(jià)的一半。
美國(guó)最近的石油鉆井平臺(tái)在2014年10月達(dá)到了1609的峰值，當(dāng)時(shí)石油價(jià)格已經(jīng)降到了80年代中期的水平。在美國(guó)最活躍的鉆井平臺(tái)——Permian，石油鉆塔的峰值是在2014年10月和11月發(fā)生的562個(gè)鉆井平臺(tái)。
油井設(shè)計(jì)允許上游運(yùn)營(yíng)商在更少的鉆井平臺(tái)上做更多的工作，并且仍然能從油井中榨取更多的石油。最近三年的平均油價(jià)約48美元/ b從2015年到2017年,蒼白的股東紅利在此期間促使企業(yè)更多的現(xiàn)金返還投資者和年產(chǎn)量增長(zhǎng)稍等高中檔個(gè)位數(shù)到較低的兩位數(shù)。
就在本周，Permian的鉆井活動(dòng)激增，幾乎所有的盆地都顯示出了一些鉆井平臺(tái)的運(yùn)動(dòng)。今年，在南德克薩斯州的鷹福特頁(yè)巖(Eagle Ford Shale)，已經(jīng)重新獲得了運(yùn)營(yíng)商的興趣，它的產(chǎn)量增加了兩架，達(dá)到67架。胡晶晶摘譯自普氏能源資訊

US oil rigs this week rose by a whopping 15 to 859, Baker Hughes said on Friday, with two-thirds of the increase coming from the Permian Basin as the domestic activity factory ground higher amid sustained oil prices around $70/b.
The Permian Basin, located in West Texas and southeastern New Mexico, was up by 10 oil rigs to 477.
The spikes followed a stalled rig count at 844 the previous week, although there were movements between basins, according to Baker Hughes' weekly North American rig count numbers, which uses raw figures supplied by S&P Global Platts RigData.
Currently the total US oil rig count is the highest it has been since March 2015, when it was dropping fast in response to oil prices that were then half their $100/b-plus levels six months earlier.
The recent US oil rig peak of 1,609 was in October 2014, at a time oil prices had fallen to the mid-$80s/b. The peak for oil rigs in the Permian, the most active US drilling arena, was 562 oil rigs, which occurred in both October and November 2014.
Well designs are allowing upstream operators to do more with fewer rigs, and still extract more oil per well. And even more recently, three years of oil prices that averaged around $48/b from 2015 to 2017 and pale shareholder dividends during that period prompted companies to return more of their cash to investors and hold the line on annual production growth to the mid-to-high single digits to the low double-digits.
Even as Permian drilling ballooned this week, virtually all the basins showed some rig movements. The Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas, which has seen renewed operator interest this year, was up by two oil rigs to 67.
