據哈特能源5月8日消息,隨著能源行業削減產量和支出以應對疫情導致的燃料需求崩潰，在營的石油和天然氣鉆井平臺數量降至80年來的最低數據。

根據能源服務公司貝克休斯追溯到1940年的數據，作為未來產量早期指標的鉆井平臺數量在截至5月8日的一周里減少了34個，跌至374個的歷史最低點。

此前的最低記錄是2016年5月的404個鉆井平臺。

全球燃料需求下降了約30%，企業正在大幅削減開支，裁員數千人并關閉生產，以抵消全球供應過剩的影響。過去幾周，消費略有回升，但供應過剩預計將持續數月，甚至數年。

US Drillers Cut Oil, Gas Rigs to Historic Low

The number of operating oil and natural gas rigs fell to an all-time low—reflecting data going back 80 years—as the energy industry slashes output and spending to deal with the coronavirus-led crash in fuel demand.

The rig count, an early indicator of future output, fell by 34 to a record low of 374 in the week to May 8, according to data from energy services firm Baker Hughes Co. going back to 1940.

The prior all-time low was 404 rigs in May 2016.

Fuel demand has declined about 30% worldwide and companies are making drastic cuts to spending, laying off thousands of workers and closing production to offset a global glut. Consumption has picked up modestly in the last couple of weeks, but the overhang of supply is expected to last for months, if not years.
