据ICIS网站1月22日消息 尽管人们越来越担心中国爆发的冠状病毒将如何影响原油需求，但美国本周在用的石油和天然气钻机数量有所增加，已连续第九周上升。
钻井服务提供商贝克休斯称，共有378部钻机在运行，比上周增加了5部。
石油导向钻机数量增加2部，至289部；天然气导向钻机数量增加了3部，至88部。
美国能源信息署（EIA）周五公布的数据显示，截至1月15日当周，美国炼油厂开工率上升0.5个百分点，至82.5%。
随着市场对未来几个月需求复苏的预期增强，目前炼油厂的开工率达到了美国冠状病毒危机爆发以来的最高水平。
由于陆上和空中旅行的增加，精炼产品的消费在夏季往往会增加。然而，由于冠状病毒带来的限制和疫苗推广带来的乐观情绪，预计今年夏天的上升幅度将较大。

A total of 378 rigs were in operation, five more than last week, according to drilling services provider Baker Hughes.
There were 289 oil rigs in operation, up by two from the previous week. Gas rigs were up US refinery rates in the week ended 15 January rose by 0.5 percentage points to 82.5%, according to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) Current refinery rates match the highest levels since the Consumption of refined products tend to increase during the summer months, due to increased land and air travel. However, the uptick is expected to be especially large this summer due to pent-up demand resulting from coronavirus movement restrictions and optimism encouraged by vaccine rollouts.
