自三月份以来,美国钻井公司在一周内增加了最多的石油钻井平台

截至 10 月 13 日当周,石油和天然气钻井平台数量(未来产量的早期指标)增加了 3 座,达到 622 座。

能源服务公司贝克休斯 在 10 月 13 日备受关注的报告中表示,美国能源公司本周增加了自 3 月份以来最多的石油钻井平台,四个星期以来首次增加了石油和天然气钻井平台的数量。

截至 10 月 13 日当周,石油和天然气钻机数量(未来产量的早期指标)增加了 3 座,达到 622 座。贝克休斯表示,尽管本周钻机数量有所增加,但总数量仍比去年同期下降了 147 座,即 19%。年。

本周石油钻井平台增​​加 4 座,至 501 座,而天然气钻井平台减少 1 座,至 117 座。

美国石油期货 CLc1 在 2022 年上涨约 7% 后,今年迄今已上涨约 8%。与此同时,美国天然气期货在去年上涨约 20% 后,今年迄今已暴跌约 28%。

埃克森美孚 同意以价值 595 亿美元的全股票交易收购美国竞争对手先锋自然资源公司,这将使其成为美国最大油田二叠纪盆地的最大生产商。

能源咨询公司 Tudor Pickering Holt & Co 的分析师表示,如果埃克森美孚想要增加二叠纪盆地的产量,那么埃克森-先锋合并后目前运营的大约 37 个钻井平台可能必须增加。

但是,另一家能源咨询公司 East Daley Analytics 的分析师指出,到目前为止,近期的整合趋势“正在减缓二叠纪盆地的钻机活动”。

政府数据显示,美国钻探商今年已削减了钻机数量,但尽管如此,上周原油产量仍创下了创纪录的 1320 万桶/日,超过了 2020 年 3 月冠状病毒大流行导致全球石油需求大幅下降之前创下的峰值。

根据美国能源信息署 (EIA) 10 月份的预测,油价上涨将使美国原油产量有望从 2022 年的 1190 万桶/日增至 2023 年的 1290 万桶/日,到 2024 年将增至 1310 万桶/日。相比之下,2019 年的记录为 12.3 MMbbl/d。

根据 EIA 10 月份的预测,尽管天然气价格较低,但美国天然气产量有望从 2022 年创纪录的 996 亿立方英尺/日增至 2023 年的 103.7 Bcf/日和 2024 年的 105.1 Bcf/日。

US Drillers Add Most Oil Rigs in a Week Since March

The oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, rose three to 622 in the week to Oct. 13.

U.S. energy firms this week added the most oil rigs since March, boosting the oil and gas rig count for the first time in four weeks, energy services firm Baker Hughes said in its closely followed report on Oct. 13.

The oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, rose three to 622 in the week to Oct. 13. Despite this week's rig increase, Baker Hughes said the total count was still down 147 or 19%, below this time last year.

Oil rigs rose by four to 501 this week, while gas rigs fell by one to 117.

U.S. oil futures CLc1were up about 8% so far this year after gaining about 7% in 2022. U.S. gas futures, meanwhile, have plunged about 28% so far this year after rising about 20% last year.

Exxon Mobil agreed to buy U.S. rival Pioneer Natural Resources in an all-stock deal valued at $59.5 billion that would make it the biggest producer in the Permian basin, the largest U.S. oilfield.

If Exxon wants to increase production in the Permian, it would likely have to add to the roughly 37 rigs that the combined Exxon-Pioneer currently have operating, according to analysts at energy consulting firm Tudor Pickering Holt & Co.

But, analysts at East Daley Analytics, another energy consultant, noted that so far the recent consolidation trend "is slowing rig activity in the Permian Basin."

U.S. drillers have cut the rig count this year but despite this, crude production last week hit a record 13.2 million bbl/d, topping the previous peak set in March 2020 before the coronavirus pandemic decimated global oil demand, government data showed.

Higher prices for oil put U.S. crude production on track to rise from 11.9 million bbl/d in 2022 to 12.9 million bbl/d in 2023 and 13.1 million bbl/d in 2024, according to U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) projections in October. That compares with a record 12.3 MMbbl/d in 2019.

Despite lower prices for gas, U.S. gas production was on track to rise from a record 99.6 billion cubic feet per day Bcf/d in 2022 to 103.7 Bcf/d in 2023 and 105.1 Bcf/d in 2024, according to EIA's projections in October.
