能源服务公司贝克休斯公司在 6 月 16 日备受关注的报告中表示，美国能源公司本周自 2020 年 7 月以来首次连续第七周削减了运营的石油和天然气钻井平台数量。

截至 6 月 16 日当周，石油和天然气钻井数量（未来产量的早期指标）减少了 8 座，至 687 座，为 2022 年 4 月以来的最低水平。

贝克休斯表示，与去年同期相比，钻机总数减少了 53 座，即 7%。

美国石油钻井平台本周减少 4 座至 552 座，为 2022 年 4 月以来的最低水平，天然气钻井平台减少 5 座至 130 座，为 2022 年 3 月以来的最低水平。

发布自己的钻机数量数据的数据提供商 Enverus 表示，截至 6 月 14 日当周，钻井公司增加了 4 台钻机，使钻机总数达到 752 台。上个月钻机总数仍减少约 28 台，同比下降 9% -年。

美国石油期货在 2022 年上涨约 7% 后，今年迄今已下跌约 11%。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 41%。

天然气价格大幅下跌已经导致切萨皮克能源公司、西南能源公司和康斯托克资源公司等一些勘探和生产公司宣布计划通过削减一些钻机来减少产量，特别是在阿肯色州的海恩斯维尔页岩。路易斯安那州和德克萨斯州。

Perella Weinberg Partners 旗下能源业务部能源咨询公司 Tudor Pickering Holt & Co 的分析师预计，海恩斯维尔地区的钻机数量最终将从最近的峰值 76 座降至 40 多座。

据预测，尽管有一些计划减少钻机数量，但美国原油产量仍有望从 2022 年的 1190 万桶/日增至 2023 年的 1260 万桶/日，到 2024 年增至 1280 万桶/日六月来自美国能源信息管理局（EIA）。相比之下，2019 年的产量为创纪录的 1230 万桶/日。

与此同时，根据 EIA 的预测，美国天然气产量有望从 2022 年创纪录的每天 981.3 亿立方英尺 (Bcf/d) 增至 2023 年的 102.74 Bcf/d 和 2024 年的 103.04 Bcf/d。

U.S. energy firms this week cut the number of oil and natural gas rigs operating for a seventh week in a row for the first time since July 2020, energy services firm Baker Hughes Co said in its closely followed report on June 16.

The oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, fell by 8 to 687 in the week to June 16, the lowest since April 2022.

Baker Hughes said that puts the total count down by 53 rigs, or 7%, over this time last year.

U.S. oil rigs fell by 4 to 552 this week, their lowest since April 2022, while gas rigs fell 5 to 130, their lowest since March 2022.

Data provider Enverus, which publishes its own rig count data, said drillers added four rigs in the week to June 14, boosting the overall count to 752. The total count remained down about 28 rigs in the last month and down 9% year-over-year.

U.S. oil futures were down about 11% so far this year after gaining about 7% in 2022. U.S. gas futures, meanwhile, have plunged 41% so far this year after rising about 20% last year.

The massive drop in gas prices has already caused some exploration and production companies, including Chesapeake Energy Corp., Southwestern Energy Co. and Comstock Resources Inc., to announce plans to reduce production by cutting some rigs -especially in the Haynesville shale in Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas.

Analysts at energy advisory Tudor Pickering Holt & Co, the energy business of Perella Weinberg Partners, projected the rig count in the Haynesville area would ultimately decline to the high 40s from a recent peak of 76.

Despite some plans to lower rig counts, U.S. crude production was still on track to rise from 11.9 million barrels per day (bbl/d) in 2022 to 12.6 million bbl/d in 2023 and 12.8 million bbl/d in 2024, according to projections from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) in June. That compares with a record 12.3 million bbl/d in 2019.

U.S. gas production, meanwhile, was on track to rise from a record 98.13 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in 2022 to 102.74 Bcf/d in 2023 and 103.04 Bcf/d in 2024, according to EIA's projection.
