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.
據報道，上週五，Baker Hughes公司（納斯達克股票代碼：BKR）表示，美國能源公司連續第二週減少了石油和天然氣鑽井平台數量，這是自6月底以來首次出現這樣的下降。
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日的一週內，石油和天然氣鑽井數量減少了1個，降至585個，使總數量較去年同期減少了47個鑽井平台，即7%，據路透社報道。
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.
本週石油鑽井保持穩定在483個，而天然氣鑽井減少了1個至97個。由於石油和天然氣價格下跌、成本上升以及專注於債務減少和股東回報，鑽井數量在2023年急劇增加後在2021年和2022年顯著下降了約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.
據報道，美國石油期貨在2024年上漲了約5%，而在2023年下跌了11%，而美國天然氣期貨在2024年下跌了約19%，而在2023年下跌了44%。
