Baker Hughes Says US Oil And Gas Rig Count Declines For Second Week: Report
On Friday, Baker Hughes Company (NASDAQ:BKR) reportedly stated that U.S. energy firms reduced the number of oil and natural gas rigs for the second consecutive week, marking the first such decline since late June.
据报道，上周五，Baker Hughes公司（纳斯达克股票代码：BKR）表示，美国能源公司连续第二周减少了石油和天然气钻井平台数量，这是自6月底以来首次出现这样的下降。
The oil and gas rig count decreased by one to 585 for the week ending August 23, bringing the total count down 47 rigs, or 7%, below the same period last year, reported Reuters.
截至8月23日的一周内，石油和天然气钻井数量减少了1个，降至585个，使总数量较去年同期减少了47个钻井平台，即7%，据路透社报道。
The oil rigs remained steady at 483, while gas rigs fell by one to 97 this week. The rig count dropped about 20% in 2023 following significant increases in 2021 and 2022, due to lower oil and gas prices, rising costs, and a focus on debt reduction and shareholder returns.
本周石油钻井保持稳定在483个，而天然气钻井减少了1个至97个。由于石油和天然气价格下跌、成本上升以及专注于债务减少和股东回报，钻井数量在2023年急剧增加后在2021年和2022年显著下降了约20%。
As per the report, U.S. oil futures have risen about 5% in 2024 after a drop of 11% in 2023, whereas U.S. gas futures are down about 19% in 2024 following a 44% plunge in 2023.
据报道，美国石油期货在2024年上涨了约5%，而在2023年下跌了11%，而美国天然气期货在2024年下跌了约19%，而在2023年下跌了44%。
