据钻机地带10月24日报道，根据贝克休斯10月21日发布的最新钻机数据显示，截至10月21日当周北美减少4台钻机。

贝克休斯表示，尽管美国增加2台钻机，但加拿大在同一时间段内减少6台钻机，导致北美钻机总数下降。据贝克休斯透露，目前北美钻机总数为981台，其中美国771台，加拿大210台。

根据贝克休斯称，美国的钻机总数为771台，包括753台陆地钻机、15台海上钻机和3台内陆水域钻机，其中石油钻机612台，天然气钻机157台，杂项钻机2台。根据贝克休斯钻机数量显示，加拿大有144台石油钻机和66台天然气钻机。

较去年的数据，北美钻机数量同比增加275台，其中美国增加229台，加拿大增加46台。根据钻机数量显示，美国石油钻机同比增加169台，天然气钻机同比增加58台，杂项钻机同比增加2台，而加拿大石油钻机同比增加51台，天然气钻机同比减少5台。

根据贝克休斯10月14日公布的上一份数据显示，截至10月14日当周北美地区的钻机数量增加8台。根据10月7日发布的统计数据显示，贝克休斯强调，截至10月7日当周北美地区减少一台钻机，而在9月30日发布的统计数据中，贝克休斯透露，截至9月30日当周北美地区减少一台钻机。

自1944年以来就向石油行业发布钻机数量的贝克休斯，称这些数据是钻井行业及其供应商的重要业务晴雨表。该公司从Enverus获取钻机的位置信息，Enverus利用GPS跟踪设施生成每日钻机数量。

North America Back to Losing Rigs

North America dropped four rigs week on week, according to Baker Hughes’ latest rotary rig count, which was released on October 21.

Although the U.S. added two rigs week on week, Canada dropped six rigs during the same timeframe, pushing the total North America rig count down, Baker Hughes outlined. The total North America rig count now stands at 981, comprising 771 rigs from the U.S. and 210 rigs from Canada, Baker Hughes revealed in its count.

The total U.S. rig count of 771 is made up of 753 land rigs, 15 offshore rigs and three inland water rigs, with 612 rigs categorized as oil rigs, 157 as gas rigs and two as miscellaneous rigs, according to Baker Hughes. Canada’s total rig count comprises 144 oil rigs and 66 gas rigs, Baker Hughes’ rotary rig count highlighted.

Looking at year ago figures, the rig count revealed that North America has added 275 rigs year on year, with 229 of these coming from the U.S. and 46 coming from Canada. The U.S. has added 169 oil rigs, 58 gas rigs and two miscellaneous rigs year on year, while Canada has added 51 oil rigs and dropped five gas rigs year on year, according to the rig count.

In its previous rig count, which was released on October 14, Baker Hughes showed that North America added eight rigs week on week. In the count before that, which was published on October 7, Baker Hughes highlighted that North America dropped one rig week on week and in the count before that one, which was published on September 30, Baker Hughes revealed that North America dropped another rig week on week.

Baker Hughes, which has issued the rotary rig counts to the petroleum industry since 1944, describes the figures as an important business barometer for the drilling industry and its suppliers. The company obtains its working rig location information in part from Enverus, which produces daily rig counts using GPS tracking units.
