过去七周美国在用钻机数量下降近50％

据今日油价5月2日报道，贝克休斯周五报告称，美国油气钻机的数量本周再次下降57台，降至408台，油气钻机的总数较去年这同期减少582台，因为美国的钻探商继续承受着供应过剩和需求不足的压力。

在过去的七周，油气钻机共减少384台。根据贝克休斯的数据显示，一周内石油钻机的数量减少53台，至325台，同比减少482台。这是自2016年6月以来在用石油钻机数量最少的。

该报告称，美国在用天然气钻机总数减少4台，至81台。一年前为183台。

在过去的七周，在用钻机处于停工状态清楚地表明，由于持续的封锁令原油需求低迷，美国石油工业仍然处于困境。

EIA对截止4月24日结束的当周美国石油产量估计，日均产量下降至1,210万桶，比历史最高水平低100万桶，比前一周低10万桶。这是周产量连续第四次下降。

U.S. Rig Count Falls By Nearly 50% In Seven Weeks Of Crisis

Baker Hughes reported on Friday that the number of oil and gas rigs in the US fell again this week by 57, falling to 408, with the total oil and gas rigs sitting at 582 fewer than this time last year as U.S. drillers continue to be squeezed between oversupply and under demand.

Over the last seven weeks, oil and gas rigs combined have shed a total of 384 rigs.

The number of oil rigs decreased for the week by 53 rigs, according to Baker Hughes data, bringing the total to 325—a 482-rig loss year over year. It is the fewest number of active oil rigs since June 2016.

The total number of active gas rigs in the United States fell by 4 according to the report, to 81. This compares to 183 a year ago.

The number of active rigs taken offline over the last seven weeks is a clear indication that the U.S. oil industry remains in a difficult position given the lingering lockdowns that are keeping demand for crude low.

The EIA’s estimate for the week is that oil production in the United States fell to 12.1 million barrels of oil per day on average for week ending April 24, which is 1 million bpd off the all-time high and 100,000 bpd lower than the week prior. It is the fourth straight weekly production decline.

At 11:12 am, WTI was trading up 0.96% at $19.02, while the Brent benchmark was trading down 0.60% at $26.32.

Canada’s overall rig count increased by 1 rigs this week, to 27 rigs. Oil and gas rigs in Canada are now down 34 year on year.
