据哈特能源7月3日消息，美国能源企业本周三以来首次减少了石油钻井平台的数量，因钻井企业今年将按计划削减支出。
通用电气公司贝克休斯在7月3日的每周报告中表示，截至7月3日的一周，共削减了5座钻井平台，使总数降至788座。相比之下，去年同期有863座钻井平台在作业。
作为未来产量的早期指标，钻机数量在过去7个月出现下降，原因是独立勘探和开发公司削减了新钻井的支出，因为它们更关注利润增长，而不是增产。
美国能源情报署预计，2019年美国原油日产量将从2018年创纪录的1096万桶升至1232万桶。

US Oil Rig Count Falls By Five
U.S. energy firms this week reduced the number of oil rigs operating for the first time in three weeks as drillers follow through Drillers cut five oil rigs in the week to July 3, bringing down the total count to 788, Baker Hughes, a GE company, said in its weekly report July 3. That compares with 863 rigs operating during the same week a year ago.
The rig count, an early indicator of future output, declined over the past seven months as independent E&P companies cut spending For the year, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects U.S. crude output will rise to 12.32 million barrels per day (MMbbl/d) in 2019, up from the annual record of 10.96 MMbbl/d in 2018.
