???? 據(jù)管道&天然氣雜志網(wǎng)3月19日報道，盡管油價本周從近28個月高點回落，但美國能源公司油氣鉆機數(shù)量出現(xiàn)自1月以來最大周增幅。
????據(jù)能源服務公司貝克休斯公司（Baker Hughes Co.）周五發(fā)布的報告中稱，截至3月19日的當周，石油和天然氣鉆機數(shù)量增加9臺，至411臺，為去年4月份以來的最高水平。
????根據(jù)追溯到1940年的貝克休斯數(shù)據(jù)顯示，自2020年8月跌至244臺的歷史低點以來，鉆機數(shù)量在過去7個月里不斷攀升，增加了68%。然而，總數(shù)仍然是361臺，比去年同期減少了47%。
????本周美國石油鉆機增加9臺，至318臺，為去年5月以來最高水平，而天然氣鉆機數(shù)量保持不變?yōu)?2臺。
????美國一半以上的石油鉆機位于德克薩斯州西部和新墨西哥州東部的二疊紀盆地，本周該地區(qū)的鉆機總數(shù)增加了4臺，達到216臺，為去年5月份以來的最高水平。
????今年到目前為止，鉆井公司已經(jīng)在二疊紀盆地增加41臺鉆機。相比之下，去年同期該盆地沒有增加鉆機。
????政府周一在月度預測中表示，美國最大產(chǎn)油盆地二疊紀盆地的石油產(chǎn)量預計將在4月份連續(xù)第二個月上升。
????本周，美國原油期貨價創(chuàng)下2020年9月以來最大跌幅，由于人們越來越擔心歐洲新冠疫情病例增多。本月初，美國原油期貨曾飆升至每桶近68美元的28個月高點。
????由于油價自2020年10月以來一直在上漲，一些能源公司在過去兩年削減了鉆井和完井支出后，在2021年增加了支出。
????然而，由于企業(yè)繼續(xù)把重點放在增加現(xiàn)金流、減少債務和增加股東回報上，而不是增加產(chǎn)出，因此支出的增加仍然很小。
????美國金融服務公司Cowen&Co表示，該公司追蹤的45家獨立勘探與生產(chǎn)公司計劃2021年比2020年增加約2%的支出。此前，資本支出在2020年和2019年分別減少了約49%和12%。

????U.S. Drillers Add Most Oil & Gas Rigs in a Week Since January
????U.S. energy firms added the most oil and natural gas rigs in a week since January even as oil prices this week pulled back from a recent 28-month high.
????The oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, rose nine to 411 in the week to March 19, its highest since April, energy services firm Baker Hughes Co said in its closely followed report on Friday.
????That puts the rig count, which has climbed over the past seven months, up 68% since falling to a record low of 244 in August 2020, according to Baker Hughes data going back to 1940. The total count, however, is still 361 rigs, or 47%, below this time last year.
????U.S. oil rigs rose nine to 318 this week, their highest since May, while gas rigs were unchanged at 92.
????More than half the U.S. oil rigs are in the Permian basin in West Texas and eastern New Mexico where total units rose four to 216 this week, the most since May.
????So far this year, drillers have added 41 rigs in the Permian. That compares with no rigs added in the basin during the same period last year.
????Oil output from the Permian, the top producing basin in the country, is expected to rise for a second straight month in April, the government said in a monthly forecast on Monday.
????U.S. crude futures this week fell by the most since September 2020 on growing worries about rising COVID-19 cases in Europe after soaring to a 28-month high near $68 a barrel earlier this month.
????With prices mostly rising since October 2020, some energy firms have boosted spending in 2021 after cutting drilling and completion expenditures over the past two years.
????That spending increase, however, remains small as firms continue to focus on boosting cash flow, reducing debt and increasing shareholder returns rather than adding to output.
????U.S. financial services firm Cowen & Co said the 45 independent exploration and production (E&P) companies it tracks plan to increase spending about 2% in 2021 versus 2020. That follows capex reductions of roughly 49% in 2020 and 12% in 2019.
