美國石油鉆井平臺數(shù)量創(chuàng)下過去15年新低

據(jù)道瓊斯8月7日消息，最近一周美國活躍的石油鉆井平臺數(shù)量減少了4個，降至176個，創(chuàng)下2005年7月以來的最低水平，原因是低油價和冠狀病毒導(dǎo)致的需求減少繼續(xù)重創(chuàng)美國石油行業(yè)。在過去21周中，貝克休斯公司統(tǒng)計的美國石油鉆井平臺數(shù)量下降了20周，這表明過去6周一直徘徊在40美元低位的美國基準油價仍然過低，不足以讓許多美國頁巖油生產(chǎn)商開始恢復(fù)新的鉆井項目。

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.
