据道琼斯7月20日消息,瑞讯银行的Arnaud Masset表示,石油市场正日益将关注点放在近来美国石油钻机数量的增加上。分析师们表示,在过去的七周时间中,美国石油钻机数量已经有六次出现增加,主要是受到近来油价升至50美元/桶的刺激。钻井活动的增加也减缓了美国石油产量下降的步伐。美国能源信息署(EIA)表示,截至7月15日当周,美国石油产量小幅增加9000桶/天升至849.4万桶/天。

U.S. Increases Shale Oil Activity
The oil market is becoming increasingly focused on the recent uptick in U.S. rig counts, says Arnaud Masset from Swissquote Bank. The analyst says the number of U.S. rigs has increased six times in the last seven weeks, encouraged by the oil price's recent flirtation with $50 a barrel. This increased activity has also slowed down the decline in U.S. oil output, with the U.S.'s Energy Information Administration stating that production increased slightly by 9,000 barrels a day to 8.494MM b/d for the week ending July 15.
