中国石化新闻网讯 据休斯顿普氏能源资讯5月25日消息，贝克休斯(Baker Hughes)上周五表示，本周美国石油钻井平台的产量增加了15至859个，其中三分之二来自Permian盆地，在油价持续上涨的情况下，国内活动工厂的价格上涨了约70美元。

位于西德克萨斯和新墨西哥东南部的Permian盆地，由10个石油钻塔上升到477个。

据贝克休斯的每周北美钻井平台统计数据显示，此前一周，钻井平台上的钻机数量减少了844个，尽管在盆地之间也有变动，这一数据使用了标准普尔全球普氏精确数据提供的原始数据。

目前，美国石油钻井平台的数量是自2015年3月以来最高的，当时油价下跌的速度快于6个月前油价的一半。

美国最近的石油钻井平台在2014年10月达到了1609的峰值，当时石油价格已经降到了80年代中期的水平。在美国最活跃的钻井平台——Permian，石油钻塔的峰值是在2014年10月和11月发生的562个钻井平台。

油井设计允许上游运营商在更少的钻井平台上做更多的工作，并且仍然能从油井中榨取更多的石油。最近三年的平均油价约48美元/ b从2015年到2017年,苍白的股东红利在此期间促使企业更多的现金返还投资者和年产量增长稍等高中档个位数到较低的两位数。

就在本周，Permian的钻井活动激增，几乎所有的盆地都显示出了一些钻井平台的运动。今年，在南德克萨斯州的鹰福特页岩(Eagle Ford Shale)，已经重新获得了运营商的兴趣，它的产量增加了两架，达到67架。胡晶晶摘译自普氏能源资讯

US oil rigs this week rose by a whopping 15 to 859, Baker Hughes said on Friday, with two-thirds of the increase coming from the Permian Basin as the domestic activity factory ground higher amid sustained oil prices around $70/b.

The Permian Basin, located in West Texas and southeastern New Mexico, was up by 10 oil rigs to 477.

The spikes followed a stalled rig count at 844 the previous week, although there were movements between basins, according to Baker Hughes' weekly North American rig count numbers, which uses raw figures supplied by S&P Global Platts RigData.

Currently the total US oil rig count is the highest it has been since March 2015, when it was dropping fast in response to oil prices that were then half their $100/b-plus levels six months earlier.

The recent US oil rig peak of 1,609 was in October 2014, at a time oil prices had fallen to the mid-$80s/b. The peak for oil rigs in the Permian, the most active US drilling arena, was 562 oil rigs, which occurred in both October and November 2014.

Well designs are allowing upstream operators to do more with fewer rigs, and still extract more oil per well. And even more recently, three years of oil prices that averaged around $48/b from 2015 to 2017 and pale shareholder dividends during that period prompted companies to return more of their cash to investors and hold the line on annual production growth to the mid-to-high single digits to the low double-digits.

Even as Permian drilling ballooned this week, virtually all the basins showed some rig movements. The Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas, which has seen renewed operator interest this year, was up by two oil rigs to 67.
