据路透社3月27日消息,美国能源企业本周新增石油和天然气钻井平台,总数量连续第八个月和第二季度上升,因油价上涨促使钻井商重返井台。
能源服务公司贝克休斯公司(Baker Hughes Co)周五在其密切关注的报告中称,作为未来产量的早期指标,截至3月26日当周的石油和天然气钻机数量增加了6台,达到417台,为去年4月以来最高。
根据贝克休斯公司追溯到1940年的数据,这使得钻机数量从2020年8月的244个记录低点上升了71%。不过,总钻机数仍有311台,比去年同期低43%。
3月份,钻机总数自2017年7月以来首次连续第8个月上升,增加了15台。
在2021年前三个月,也就是第一季度,钻机总数自2018年第四季度以来首次连续第二个季度上升。第二季度,钻机数量增加了66台,而第一季度增加了90台。
本周,美国石油钻井平台增加6个,至324个,为5月以来最高水平,而天然气钻井平台连续第五周保持在92个不变。
石油钻井平台数量已经连续第七个月上升,也是连续第二个季度上升。
美国达拉斯联邦储备银行(Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas)周三公布的一项调查显示,谨慎乐观的能源公司高管在接受调查时表示,今年美国油田的活动和支出正在飙升,因为该行业正从去年大流行病导致的油价暴跌中恢复过来。
美国原油期货今年以来上涨约26%,但本周有望自2020年4月以来首次连续第三次下跌。
Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co分析师在一份报告中称:"我们仍预计未来几个月整体活动水平将继续走高。"

U.S. drillers add oil & gas rigs for second quarter in a row: Baker Hughes
U.S. energy firms added oil and natural gas rigs this week, with the total count rising for an eighth month and a second quarter in a row as higher oil prices prompt drillers back to the wellpad.
The oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, rose six to 417 in the week to March 26, its highest since April last year, energy services firm Baker Hughes Co said in its closely followed report on Friday.
That puts the rig count up 71% from a record low of 244 in August 2020, according to Baker Hughes data going back to 1940. The total count, however, is still 311 rigs, or 43%, below this time last year.
In March, the total rig count was up for an eighth month in a row for the first time since July 2017, rising by 15.
In the first three months of 2021, the first quarter, the total rig count is up for a second quarter in a row for the first time since the fourth quarter of 2018. In the second quarter, rigs rose by 66, versus an increase of 90 in the first quarter.
U.S. oil rigs rose six to 324 this week, their highest since May, while gas rigs were unchanged at 92 for a fifth week in a row.
The oil rig count has risen for a seventh month in a row and a second consecutive quarter.
Activity and spending in U.S. oil fields is soaring this year as the industry recovers from last year’s pandemic-driven oil price crash, according to cautiously optimistic energy company executives polled by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas in a survey released on Wednesday.
U.S. crude futures were up about 26% so far this year but this week were on track to decline for a third time in a row for the first time since April 2020.
“We still see total horizontal activity continuing to trend higher in the coming months,” analysts at Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co said in a note.
