据能源网2月20日休斯敦报道，本周，原油价格飙升至2014年以来的最高水平，美国能源公司自2021年2月以来首次连续第七周增加石油和天然气钻机。
周五，能源服务公司贝克休斯公司在其密切关注的报告中表示，油气钻机数量是未来产量的早期指标，在截至2月18日的一周内增加了10台，至645台，这是自2020年4月以来的最高水平。贝克休斯表示，与去年同期相比，今年的钻机总数增加了248台，增幅62%。
本周，美国石油钻机增加4台，至520台，为2020年4月以来的最高水平;天然气钻机增加6台，至124台，为2021年5月以来的最大单周涨幅,2019年12月以来的最高水平。
本周，美国原油期货价格接近每桶96美元，为2014年9月以来的最高水平。
随着油价在2021年飙升55%后，今年迄今为止上涨了约21%，钻机总数量已连续18个月攀升。
然而，分析师指出，美国2021的产量下滑，因为许多能源公司更关注于向投资者返还资金，而不是提高产量。
美国能源情报署(EIA)周一表示，美国最大的页岩油盆地得克萨斯州和新墨西哥州的二叠纪盆地3月石油产量将升至创纪录的520.5万桶/日。
该公司预计，3月份主要页岩盆地的天然气产量将增至创纪录的917亿立方英尺/天。
但是，自从2020年12月二叠纪每台钻机新油井产量达到创纪录的1546桶/天，以及自2021年3月阿巴拉契亚的每台钻机新气井产量达到创纪录的3330万立方英尺/天以来，最大的油气盆地的生产力一直在下降。
越来越多的能源公司表示，在2019年和2020年削减钻井和完井支出后，他们计划在2022年连续第二年增加支出。
美国金融服务公司Cowen & Co表示，其追踪的独立勘探和生产 (E&P) 公司计划在2021年与2020年相比增加约4%的支出后，2022年的支出将比2021年增加约23%。
此前，资本支出在2020年和2019年分别下降了约48%和12%。

U.S. drillers add oil and gas rigs for seventh week -Baker Hughes
U.S. energy firms this week added oil and natural gas rigs for a seventh week in a row for the first time since February 2021 after crude prices this week soared to their highest since 2014.
The oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, rose 10 to 645 in the week to Feb. 18, its highest since April 2020, energy services firm Baker Hughes Co said in its closely followed report on Friday.Baker Hughes said that puts the total rig count up 248 rigs, or 62%, over this time last year.
U.S. oil rigs rose by four to 520 this week, their highest since April 2020, while gas rigs rose six, their biggest weekly gain since May 2021, to 124, their highest since December 2019.
U.S. crude futures rose close to $96 per barrel this week, their highest since September 2014.
The combined rig count has climbed for a record 18 months in a row as oil prices gained about 21% so far this year after soaring 55% in 2021.
However, analysts noted U.S. production in 2021 slipped as many energy firms focused more on returning money to investors rather than boosting output.
Oil output in the Permian in Texas and New Mexico, the biggest U.S. shale oil basin, will rise to a record 5.205 million barrels per day (bpd) in March, the Energy Information Administration said on Monday.
Gas output in the major shale basins will increase to a record 91.7 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) bcfd in March, it projected.
But productivity in the biggest oil and gas basins has declined since hitting records of new oil well production per rig of 1,546 bpd in December 2020 in the Permian and new gas well production per rig of 33.3 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd) in March 2021 in Appalachia, it said.
A growing number of energy firms said they plan to boost spending for a second year in a row in 2022 after cutting drilling and completion expenditures in 2019 and 2020.
U.S. financial services firm Cowen & Co said the independent exploration and production (E&P) companies it tracks plan to boost spending by about 23% in 2022 versus 2021 after increasing spending about 4% in 2021 versus 2020.
That follows a drop in capital expenditures of roughly 48% in 2020 and 12% in 2019.
