据能源世界网8月28日新德里报道，美国能源公司本周连续第四周增加了油气钻机，即使一场大风暴接近墨西哥湾，也连续第13个月增加。
据能源服务公司贝克休斯公司（Baker Hughes Co.）周五在其密切关注的报告中表示，截至8月27日当周，石油和天然气钻机总数增加5台，至508台，为2020年4月以来的最高水平。
与去年同期相比，钻机总数翻了一番，增加254台。本月，钻井公司增加20台油气钻机，自2017年7月以来首次连续13个月增加。
本周美国石油钻机增加5台至410台，为2020年4月以来的最高水平，而天然气钻机保持不变，为97台。8月份，钻探商增加25台石油钻机，是自1月份以来最多的一个月，这使石油钻机数量自2017年7月以来首次连续12个月增加。
与此同时，天然气钻机数量减少6台，这是自2020年10月以来首次出现月度下降。
美国原油期货本周上涨逾10%，至周五每桶约69美元，使该合约有望在风暴来临前创下自2020年6月以来的最大周涨幅。
周五，随着热带风暴“艾达”(Ida)向美国17%的石油产量和5%的干天然气产量的油田推进，美国油气公司竞相完成墨西哥湾海上平台的疏散工作。预计“艾达”将在周日早些时候成为一场大飓风。
拥有自己密切关注的钻机数量的能源数据提供商Enverus表示，墨西哥湾有25台钻机在运行，同比增长47%。
Enverus表示，由于飓风预计将袭击该地区，“下周这个数字可能会暂时下降”，并指出，在墨西哥湾最活跃的运营商是荷兰皇家壳牌公司(Royal Dutch Shell PLC)，有7台钻机，雪佛龙公司(Chevron Corp)有4台，英国石油公司(BP PLC)有2台。

Oil and gas rig count rises for 13th month in a row -Baker Hughes
U.S. energy firms this week added oil and natural gas rigs for a fourth week, resulting in the 13th monthly increase in a row, even as a major storm approaches the Gulf of Mexico.
The combined oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, rose five in the week to Aug. 27 to 508, its highest since April 2020, energy services firm Baker Hughes Co said in its closely followed report align="justify"> The total rig count has doubled, or risen by 254 rigs, over this time last year. For the month, drillers added 20 oil and gas rigs, putting the count up for 13 months in a row for the first time since July 2017.
U.S. oil rigs rose five to 410 this week, their highest since April 2020, while gas rigs were unchanged at 97. In August, drillers added 25 oil rigs, the most in a month since January, putting the oil rig count up for 12 months in a row for the first time since July 2017.
The gas rig count, meanwhile, declined by six, its first monthly decline since October 2020.
U.S. crude futures gained over 10% this week to about $69 a barrel align="justify"> U.S. oil and gas companies align="justify"> Enverus, a provider of energy data with its own closely watched rig count, said there were 25 rigs running in the Gulf of Mexico, up 47% year-over-year.
Enverus said "that number is likely to temporarily dip in the next week" with the hurricane expected to hit the area, noting the most active operators in the Gulf are units of Royal Dutch Shell PLC with seven rigs, Chevron Corp with four and BP PLC with two.
