美国石油钻井平台数量创下过去15年新低

据道琼斯8月7日消息，最近一周美国活跃的石油钻井平台数量减少了4个，降至176个，创下2005年7月以来的最低水平，原因是低油价和冠状病毒导致的需求减少继续重创美国石油行业。在过去21周中，贝克休斯公司统计的美国石油钻井平台数量下降了20周，这表明过去6周一直徘徊在40美元低位的美国基准油价仍然过低，不足以让许多美国页岩油生产商开始恢复新的钻井项目。

US Oil Rig-Count Falls to 15-Year-Low

The number of active, oil-targeted rigs in the US falls by four in the latest week to 176, the lowest total since July 2005, as low prices and reduced demand due to coronavirus continue to decimate the American oil patch. The Baker Hughes rig count has now fallen in 20 of the past 21 weeks, suggesting US benchmark oil prices that have hovered in the low $40's over the past six weeks remain too low for many US shale producers to start resuming new drilling projects.
