哈罗德·哈姆30年来首次停止巴克肯钻井,因为石油价格低和成本高。 Harold Hamm halts Bakken drilling for first time in 30 years due to low oil prices and high costs.

哈罗德·哈姆(Harold Hamm)是大陆资源的创始人,也是美国页岩繁荣的主要建筑师,30多年来首次停止在北达科他州的巴克肯页岩钻井,理由是石油价格低和成本上升。 Harold Hamm, founder of Continental Resources and a key architect of the U.S. shale boom, has halted drilling in North Dakota’s Bakken shale for the first time in over 30 years, citing low oil prices and rising costs. 而WTI原油很少超过60美元, 许多页岩油井也无利可图。 With breakeven prices now at $58 per barrel—up 4% from last year—and WTI crude rarely exceeding $60, many shale wells are unprofitable. 这一举动反映了更广泛的工业斗争,包括运行中的钻机下降15%,以及Permian等主要流域的生产下降。 The move reflects broader industry struggles, including a 15% drop in active rigs and declining production in major basins like the Permian. 哈姆姆在其他区域仍然很活跃,但如果价格改善,就有可能恢复巴克肯业务,这突显出该部门越来越容易受到全球石油市场波动的影响。 Hamm remains active in other regions but has left open the possibility of resuming Bakken operations if prices improve, highlighting the sector’s growing vulnerability to global oil market fluctuations.
