據鉆機地帶10月24日報道，根據貝克休斯10月21日發布的最新鉆機數據顯示，截至10月21日當周北美減少4臺鉆機。

貝克休斯表示，盡管美國增加2臺鉆機，但加拿大在同一時間段內減少6臺鉆機，導致北美鉆機總數下降。據貝克休斯透露，目前北美鉆機總數為981臺，其中美國771臺，加拿大210臺。

根據貝克休斯稱，美國的鉆機總數為771臺，包括753臺陸地鉆機、15臺海上鉆機和3臺內陸水域鉆機，其中石油鉆機612臺，天然氣鉆機157臺，雜項鉆機2臺。根據貝克休斯鉆機數量顯示，加拿大有144臺石油鉆機和66臺天然氣鉆機。

較去年的數據，北美鉆機數量同比增加275臺，其中美國增加229臺，加拿大增加46臺。根據鉆機數量顯示，美國石油鉆機同比增加169臺，天然氣鉆機同比增加58臺，雜項鉆機同比增加2臺，而加拿大石油鉆機同比增加51臺，天然氣鉆機同比減少5臺。

根據貝克休斯10月14日公布的上一份數據顯示，截至10月14日當周北美地區的鉆機數量增加8臺。根據10月7日發布的統計數據顯示，貝克休斯強調，截至10月7日當周北美地區減少一臺鉆機，而在9月30日發布的統計數據中，貝克休斯透露，截至9月30日當周北美地區減少一臺鉆機。

自1944年以來就向石油行業發布鉆機數量的貝克休斯，稱這些數據是鉆井行業及其供應商的重要業務晴雨表。該公司從Enverus獲取鉆機的位置信息，Enverus利用GPS跟蹤設施生成每日鉆機數量。

North America Back to Losing Rigs

North America dropped four rigs week on week, according to Baker Hughes’ latest rotary rig count, which was released on October 21.

Although the U.S. added two rigs week on week, Canada dropped six rigs during the same timeframe, pushing the total North America rig count down, Baker Hughes outlined. The total North America rig count now stands at 981, comprising 771 rigs from the U.S. and 210 rigs from Canada, Baker Hughes revealed in its count.

The total U.S. rig count of 771 is made up of 753 land rigs, 15 offshore rigs and three inland water rigs, with 612 rigs categorized as oil rigs, 157 as gas rigs and two as miscellaneous rigs, according to Baker Hughes. Canada’s total rig count comprises 144 oil rigs and 66 gas rigs, Baker Hughes’ rotary rig count highlighted.

Looking at year ago figures, the rig count revealed that North America has added 275 rigs year on year, with 229 of these coming from the U.S. and 46 coming from Canada. The U.S. has added 169 oil rigs, 58 gas rigs and two miscellaneous rigs year on year, while Canada has added 51 oil rigs and dropped five gas rigs year on year, according to the rig count.

In its previous rig count, which was released on October 14, Baker Hughes showed that North America added eight rigs week on week. In the count before that, which was published on October 7, Baker Hughes highlighted that North America dropped one rig week on week and in the count before that one, which was published on September 30, Baker Hughes revealed that North America dropped another rig week on week.

Baker Hughes, which has issued the rotary rig counts to the petroleum industry since 1944, describes the figures as an important business barometer for the drilling industry and its suppliers. The company obtains its working rig location information in part from Enverus, which produces daily rig counts using GPS tracking units.
