据离岸工程网1月14日报道 美国能源公司本周增加了自去年4月以来一周内最多的石油和天然气钻机,因为不断上涨的油价促使更多的钻井者返回井场。
贝克休斯在其每周报告中称,石油和天然气钻机数量(未来产量的早期指标)在截至1月14日的一周内上升13部,至601部,为2020年4月以来的最高水平,与去年同期相比增加了228部,增幅为61%。
美国石油钻机本周上涨11部,至492部,为2020年4月以来的最高水平;天然气钻机上涨2部,至109部,为2020年3月以来的最高水平。其中得克萨斯州南部的Eagle Ford本周增加了6部钻机,为所有盆地中最大增幅,使其总数达到50部,为2020年4月以来的最高水平。得克萨斯州、路易斯安那州和阿肯色州的Haynesville页岩钻机数量增至52部,为2019年11月以来最大钻机数量。
上周五,美国原油期货价格在每桶84美元左右,有望连续第四周上涨,这是自去年10月以来的首次。
今年以来,油价上涨了12%左右,在2021年上升55%之后,越来越多的勘探和生产公司计划在2022年内连续第二年增加支出。
钻机数量连续17个月攀升,但2021年美国石油产量下滑,因为许多能源公司更关注于将资金返还给投资者而不是提高产量。
美国石油产量受到新冠疫情的冲击,压低了需求和价格,预计明年将超过 2019 年创纪录的 1230 万桶/日 。 政府预计产量将从 2021 年的 1120 万桶/日增加到 2022 年的 1180 万桶/日和 2023 年的 1240 万桶/日。
瑞穗(Mizuho)本周表示,未来八周,美国五大石油公司的钻井活动将需要每周增加约13部,才能在2022年达到一个可持续的钻机数量,以保持目前的石油产量,而过去四周的钻机数量平均增加约两部。
该行表示:“我们仍然认为,钻探活动将为美国供应增长设定上限,这对大宗商品和大盘股勘探与生产有利。”

Baker Hughes finds U.S. Drillers add most O&G Rigs Since April
U.S. energy firms this week added the most oil and natural gas rigs in a week since April as rising oil prices prompt more drillers to return to the wellpad.
The oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, rose 13 to 601 in the week to Jan. 14, its highest since April 2020, said Baker Hughes in its weekly report. The total count was up 228, or 61%, over this time last year.
U.S. oil rigs rose 11 to 492 this week, their highest since April 2020, while gas rigs rose two to 109, their highest since March 2020. Specifically, the Eagle Ford in South Texas gained six rigs this week, the most of any basin, bringing its total to 50, its highest since April 2020. The Haynesville shale in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas gained three to 52, its highest since November 2019.
U.S. crude futures were trading around $84 per barrel on Friday, putting the contract on track to rise for a fourth week in a row for the first time since October.
With oil prices up about 12% so far this year after soaring 55% in 2021, a growing number of exploration and production (E&P) firms plan to raise spending for a second consecutive year in 2022.
The rig count has climbed gradually for a record 17 months in a row, but U.S. oil production slipped in 2021 as many energy firms focused more on returning money to investors rather than boosting output.
Rig activity across the five largest U.S. oil plays would need to increase by about 13 weekly over next eight weeks to reach a sustainable plateau to hold current oil volumes in 2022, versus average rig gains of about two over the last four weeks, Mizuho said this week.
"We continue to believe drilling activity will be a put a ceiling on U.S. supply growth, which is positive for the commodity and large-cap E&Ps," the bank said.
