據鉆機地帶3月13日報道，根據貝克休斯3月10日公布的最新旋轉鉆機數量，北美每周減少26臺鉆機。

統計顯示，減少的原因是加拿大，每周減少23個鉆井平臺。美國放棄了剩下的三個鉆井平臺。

根據貝克休斯的統計，北美的鉆機總數目前為969臺，包括746臺美國鉆機和223臺加拿大鉆機，加拿大鉆機總數包括139臺石油鉆機和84臺天然氣鉆機。美國的鉆機總數包括590個石油鉆機，153個天然氣鉆機和3個其他鉆機。在美國，731臺鉆機被歸類為陸地鉆機，14臺被歸類為海上鉆機，1臺被歸類為內陸水鉆機。

從一年前的數據來看，北美的鉆機數量同比增加了100臺。據統計，這些增加是由美國推動的，與去年同期相比，該國增加了83臺鉆機。加拿大的鉆井平臺同比增加了17臺。根據貝克休斯的數據，美國每年新增的鉆井平臺包括63個石油鉆井平臺、18個天然氣鉆井平臺和2個其他鉆井平臺，而加拿大每年新增的鉆井平臺包括12個石油鉆井平臺和5個天然氣鉆井平臺。

貝克休斯3月3日發布的鉆機數量顯示，北美的鉆機數量每周減少2臺。鉆井平臺數量顯示，美國每周減少4臺鉆井平臺，而加拿大每周增加2臺鉆井平臺。

貝克休斯自1944年以來一直向石油行業發布旋轉式鉆機數量，該公司將這些數據描述為鉆井行業及其供應商的重要商業晴雨表。該公司部分從Enverus獲得鉆機位置信息，Enverus使用GPS跟蹤單元生成每日鉆機數量。

North America Loses 26 Rigs

North America dropped 26 rigs week on week, according to Baker Hughes’ latest rotary rig count, which was published on March 10.

The decrease was driven by Canada, which slashed 23 rigs week on week, the count showed. The U.S. dropped the remaining three rigs, the count outlined.

The total North America rig count now stands at 969, comprising 746 U.S. rigs and 223 Canada rigs, according to Baker Hughes’ count, which revealed that Canada’s total is made up of 139 oil rigs and 84 gas rigs. The total U.S. rig count is shown to comprise 590 oil rigs, 153 gas rigs, and three miscellaneous rigs. Of the U.S. total, 731 rigs are classified as land rigs, 14 are classified as offshore rigs, and one is classified as an inland water rig.

Looking at year ago figures, the count revealed that North America has added 100 rigs year on year. These additions were driven by the U.S., according to the count, which highlighted that the country added 83 rigs compared year ago levels. Canada was shown to have added 17 rigs year on year. The yearly U.S. additions comprised 63 oil rigs, 18 gas rigs, and two miscellaneous rigs, while the Canada additions comprised 12 oil rigs and five gas rigs, according to Baker Hughes.

Baker Hughes’ previous rig count, which was published on March 3, showed that North America dropped two rigs week on week. That rig count outlined that the U.S. dropped four rigs week on week, while Canada added two rigs 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.
