    中国石化新闻网讯 据外汇日报9约18日消息：由于石油钻井平台数量连续第二周下降，原油期货上涨，从而结束了本周的交易。受墨西哥湾供应中断和欧佩克可能减产的影响，美国原油价格有望创下6月以来最佳单周表现。

    周五格林威治标准时间18:41时，纽约商品交易所10月西德克萨斯中质原油期货上涨0.12美元，涨幅0.29%，至每桶41.09美元。美国原油价格有望每周飙升10%，将今年迄今的跌幅降至33%以下。

    国际油价基准布伦特在交易周结束时走低。伦敦洲际交易所11月布伦特原油期货下跌0.15美元，至每桶43.15美元，跌幅0.35%。布伦特原油也将出现约8%的周涨幅。今年以来，布伦特原油下跌35%。

    据贝克休斯称，截至9月18日的一周，石油钻井平台数量为179个，低于前一周的180个。这是原油钻井平台数量连续第二周下降。也是一个多月来石油钻机数量首次低于180台。不过，钻机总数从254个小幅上升到255个。

    他在周四的部长级联合监测委员会会议上发表了上述评论，该会议正式延长了未能正确限制产量的国家的期限。上个月，欧佩克将产量冻结从每天的970万桶降至770万桶。

    尽管此次会议引发了争议，但分析师认为，该组织不会将产量削减至每天580万桶，此举将使全球原油市场的日产量再增加200万桶。

    其他能源大宗商品方面，10月天然气期货上涨0.022美元，至每百万英热2.064美元，涨幅1.08%；汽油期货上涨0.0092美元，至每加仑1.2336美元，涨幅0.75%；取暖油期货下跌0.0032美元，至每加仑1.1567美元，跌幅0.28%。

    US Crude Adds to Best Weekly Gain Since June As Oil Rig Count Dips

    Crude oil futures are rising to finish the trading week as the oil rig count fell for the second straight week. US crude prices are on track for their best weekly performance since June, driven primarily on supply disruptions in the Gulf Coast and potential output reductions among the members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Can oil prices sustain the momentum and remain trading above $40 a barrel?

    October West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures rose $0.12, or 0.29%, to $41.09 per barrel at 18:41 GMT on Friday on the New York Mercantile Exchange. US crude prices are poised for a weekly spike of 10%, paring their year-to-date losses to below 33%.

    Brent, the international benchmark for oil prices, is lower at the end of the trading week. November Brent crude futures slipped $0.15, or 0.35%, to $43.15 per barrel on London’s ICE Futures exchange. Brent will also post a weekly jump of about 8%. So far this year, Brent is down 35%.

    According to Baker Hughes, the oil rig count came in at 179 for the week ending September 18, down from 180 in the previous week. This is the second consecutive week of the number of crude oil rigs falling. This is also the first time in more than a month that the oil rig count was below 180. The total rig count, however, edged up from 254 to 255.

    He made the comments during a Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee meeting Thursday, which officially extended the period for countries that failed to limit output correctly. Last month, OPEC relaxed the output freeze from 9.7 million barrels per day (bpd) to 7.7 million bpd.

    Despite the contentious meeting, analysts believe that the cartel will refrain from curtailing production cuts to 5.8 million bpd, a move that would add another two million bpd to the global crude market.

    In other energy commodities, October natural gas futures picked up $0.022, or 1.08%, to $2.064 per million British thermal units (btu). October gasoline futures edged up $0.0092, or 0.75%, to $1.2336 per gallon. October heating oil futures dipped $0.0032, or 0.28%, to $1.1567 a gallon.
