石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據路透社報道，由于原油價格回升的不確定性，西方石油公司等越來越多的生產商在2019年的鉆井計劃中變得保守，美國能源企業連續第二周削減石油鉆井平臺。 能源服務公司貝克休斯在上周五公布的一份報告中稱，截至1月11日的一周內，能源企業削減了4座石油鉆井平臺，使總數量降至873座。 美國鉆井平臺的數量是衡量未來產量的早期指標，而今年的數量遠高于一年前的水平（去年同期有752座鉆井平臺處于活躍狀態），原因是能源企業為獲取更高的價格投入了更多資金。 頁巖氣生產商表示，在2018年最后一個季度原油價格下跌近40%，全球供應過剩的擔憂日益加劇之后，他們預計在2019年將減少鉆探活動。 如果預測正確，這將是鉆井平臺數量三年來的首次下降，因為鉆井平臺數量在2018年和2017年分別增加了138座和222座。（能源企業在2016年削減了11座鉆井平臺）。 據聯邦估計，過去鉆井平臺的增加幫助美國石油產量在2018年達到了預期的最高水平，達到了每天1090萬桶，超過了1970年創紀錄的每天960萬桶。目前還沒有2018年的官方數據。 美國金融服務公司Cowen & Co本周表示，它跟蹤的勘探和生產公司為2019年提供的指導意見好壞參半，此前它們表示，將在2018年支出約887億美元，比2017年的722億美元高出23%。 Cowen & Co稱，如Antero資源公司，到目前為止，預計今年只會增加9座鉆機。 根據Cowen & Co數據，Antero本周宣布2019年鉆探和完工預算為11億美元至12.5億美元，比2018年下降了約15%。 據貝克休斯表示，本周美國共有1075座活躍的石油和天然氣鉆井平臺。大多數鉆井同時生產石油和天然氣。 美國投資銀行Piper Jaffray能源專家西蒙斯公司的分析師們本周預測，2019年石油和天然氣鉆井平臺的平均總量將從2018年的1032座降至999座，2020年將上升到1087座。 這比西蒙斯上周預測的略有下降，該公司上周曾預測2019年為1001座鉆井平臺，2020年為1094座。 詹曉晶摘自路透社 原文如下： U.S. oil drillers cut rigs for second week in a row: Baker Hughes U.S. energy firms cut oil rigs for a second week in a row as more producers, like Occidental Petroleum Corp, turned conservative in their 2019 drilling plans due to uncertainty over a recovery in crude prices. Drillers cut four oil rigs in the week to Jan. 11, bringing the total count down to 873, General Electric Co’s Baker Hughes energy services firm said in its closely followed report on Friday. The U.S. rig count, an early indicator of future output, is still much higher than a year ago when 752 rigs were active after energy companies boosted spending in 2018 to capture higher prices that year. Occidental, one of the largest producers in the Permian Basin, the biggest U.S. oil field, said on Monday it expected to spend $4.4 billion to $5.3 billion this year, compared with around $5 billion spent in 2018, depending on the price of crude oil. Shale producers said they expect to reduce their drilling activity in 2019 following a near 40 percent decline in crude prices during the last quarter of 2018 and mounting fears of global oversupply. If correct, that would be the first decline in the rig count in three years after drillers added 138 oil rigs in 2018 and 222 in 2017. They cut 11 rigs in 2016. Those past rig increases helped boost U.S. oil production to a projected all-time high of 10.9 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2018, according to federal estimates, topping the current record of 9.6 million bpd in 1970. Official data for 2018 is not yet available. U.S. financial services firm Cowen & Co this week said the exploration and production (E&P) companies it tracks have provided mixed guidance for 2019 after indicating they would spend about $88.7 billion in 2018, a 23 percent increase over the $72.2 billion they spent in 2017. Cowen said the firms it tracks, like Antero Resources Corp, were so far only expecting to add nine rigs this year. Antero this week announced a 2019 drilling and completion budget of $1.1-$1.25 billion, down about 15 percent from 2018, according to Cowen. There were 1,075 oil and natural gas rigs active in the United States this week, according to Baker Hughes. Most rigs produce both oil and gas. Analysts at Simmons & Co, energy specialists at U.S. investment bank Piper Jaffray, this week forecast the average combined oil and gas rig count will fall from 1,032 in 2018 to 999 in 2019 before rising to 1,087 in 2020. That is a slight reduction in Simmons forecast from last week of 1,001 rigs in 2019 and 1,094 in 2020.? ?
