中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社8月6日新加坡报道,由于沙特原油产量在7月意外下降,而美国页岩钻探似乎处于平稳状态,导致石油价格在周一小幅上涨。
布伦特原油现货期货周一报每桶73.26美元,较上次收盘上涨5美分。
美国西德克萨斯中间原油期货价格上涨12美分,至每桶68.61美元,涨幅0.2%。
由于增长速度放缓,上周,美国能源企业第二次(过去三周内)削减了石油钻井平台数量。
贝克休斯能源服务公司上周五称,本周内削减了两座石油钻井平台,至8月3日,石油钻井平台总数降至859座。
两名欧佩克消息人士上周五称,在美国以外地区,今年7月,沙特最大的原油出口国每天的原油产量约为1,029万桶,较一个月前下降了约20万桶。

Oil prices edge up after Saudi output dips, U.S. drilling stalls
Oil prices edged up on Monday as Saudi crude production took a surprising dip in July and American shale drilling seemed to plateau.
Spot Brent crude oil futures LCOc1 were trading at $73.26 per barrel at 0101 GMT on Monday, up 5 cents from their last close.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures CLc1 were up 12 cents, or 0.2 percent, at $68.61 barrel.
U.S. energy companies last week cut oil rigs for a second time in the past three weeks as the rate of growth has slowed over the past couple of months.
Drillers cut two oil rigs in the week to Aug. 3, bringing the total count down to 859, Baker Hughes energy services firm said on Friday.
Outside the United States, top crude exporter Saudi Arabia pumped around 10.29 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude in July, two OPEC sources said on Friday, down about 200,000 bpd from a month earlier.
