BHI：上周美國在用石油鉆機數連續第二周減少
中國石化新聞網訊 據WENews.com網站8月4日休斯頓報道，由于在過去幾個月原油價格下跌導致美國經濟增長速度有所放緩，美國能源公司在8月3日結束的那周里在過去三周內連續第二周削減在用石油鉆機數。
美國通用電氣公司麾下的貝克休斯能源服務公司（BHI）在周五的報告中稱，上周美國鉆井公司減少2部石油鉆機，在用石油鉆機總數減少到了859部。
超過一半的在用石油鉆機總數位于德克薩斯州西部和新墨西哥州東部的二疊紀盆地，這是美國最大的頁巖油田。那里的在用石油鉆機數連續第二周保持在479部，與6月初持平，為2015年1月以來的最高水平。
作為未來產量早期指標的美國在用石油鉆機數高于一年前的765部，這是因為能源公司預計2018年的原油價格將高于往年而一直在增加產量。

US Oil Rig Count Dips for Second Week in Three
U.S. energy companies this week cut oil rigs for a second time in the past three weeks as the rate of growth has slowed over the past couple of months with recent declines in crude prices.
Drillers cut two oil rigs in the week to Aug. 3, bringing the total count down to 859, General Electric Co's Baker Hughes energy services firm said in its closely followed report on Friday.
More than half the total oil rigs are in the Permian basin in west Texas and eastern New Mexico, the nation's biggest shale oil field. Active units there held steady at 479 for a second week in a row, the same as in early June and the highest since January 2015.
The U.S. rig count, an early indicator of future output, is higher than a year ago when 765 rigs were active as energy companies have been ramping up production in anticipation of higher prices in 2018 than previous years.
