加拿大皇家銀行稱，隨著二疊紀盆地鑽井活動放緩，美國陸上鑽井平台數量下滑。

By

-- 加拿大皇家銀行資本市場（RBC Capital Markets）策略師週日在一份報告中指出，受石油鑽井活動減少的影響，美國陸上鑽機數量連續第二週下滑。 RBC分析師引述貝克休斯（Baker Hughes）的數據稱，美國陸上鑽機總數較上月減少6台，至525台。此次下降主要由石油鑽井活動導致，該領域有6台鑽機停工，總數降至389台。天然氣鑽井活動維持穩定，為129台。 美國最大的頁岩油產區二疊紀盆地的鑽井活動略為下降，鑽機數量減少1台，至241台。 RBC表示，二疊紀盆地繼續主導美國鑽井活動，約占美國本土48州石油鑽機總數的62%，佔陸上鑽機總數的47%。 在二疊紀盆地，最活躍的鑽井公司是Helmerich & Payne (HP)，擁有88台鑽孔機；其次是Patterson-UTI Energy (PTEN)，擁有32台鑽機；以及Nabors Industries (NBR)，擁有29台鑽機。埃克森美孚 (XOM) 以34台鑽機位居營運商之首，其次是西方石油 (OXY)，擁有20台鑽機；康菲石油 (COP) 擁有17台鑽機。 鷹灘盆地的鑽機數量增加了一台，達到43台；而威利斯頓盆地的鑽機數量保持不變，為28台。天然氣開採區域表現溫和，海恩斯維爾頁岩的鑽機數量增加了兩台，達到58台；而阿巴拉契亞盆地的鑽機數量則保持不變，為37台。 加拿大皇家銀行 (RBC) 表示，儘管私人業者在某些地區的作業份額有所下降，但他們在關鍵盆地仍發揮重要作用。在二疊紀盆地，私人公司佔活躍鑽井平台總數的39%，低於去年同期的43%；而在鷹灘頁岩油氣田，其份額則從46%降至37%。 相較之下，私營業者仍主導海恩斯維爾頁岩油氣田，約佔鑽井平台總數的72%，與去年持平。

Research Alert: Bmrn Delivers Mixed Q1 Results As Amicus Deal Closes And Pipeline Advances

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:BioMarin delivered mixed Q1 2026 results with revenue of $766M (+3% Y/Y), beating consensus by $14M, but Non-GAAP EPS of $0.76 vs $1.13 (-33% Y/Y) missed consensus of $0.91. The quarter was impacted by a $31M NAGLAZYME manufacturing charge and Amicus acquisition costs. The $4.8B Amicus acquisition closed in April, adding GALAFOLD and POMBILITI + OPFOLDA to expand BioMarin's rare disease portfolio. Management raised 2026 revenue guidance to $3.825B-$3.925B, representing 20% Y/Y growth at the midpoint. Multiple pipeline catalysts are expected in 2026, including BMN 401 Phase 3 results for ENPP1 deficiency and VOXZOGO Phase 3 data for hypochondroplasia in Q2, both potentially supporting regulatory submissions in 2H 2026. BMRN expects more than 55% of 2026 revenues in the second half, driving back-end-loaded EPS recognition, in our view. With $2B in cash and $221M Q1 operating cash flow, BioMarin maintains substantial financial flexibility, in our opinion.

US Natural Gas Update: Futures Jump to Four Week High on Cooler Forecasts

US natural gas futures trimmed earlier gains in after-hours trade on Monday but still climbed to a four-week high as cooler weather forecasts lifted prices.Both the front-month Henry Hub contract and the continuous contract rose 2.73% to $2.856 per million British thermal units.Expectations for below-normal temperatures across key consuming regions underpinned the rally, with forecasts pointing to increased heating demand in the near term.The Energy Buyers Guide said cooler-than-normal conditions are expected to dominate the eastern two-thirds of the US over the next two weeks, while the West is forecast to stay significantly warmer than average. Even so, overall energy demand is expected to remain subdued into mid-May, absent a major shift in weather patterns.Despite the price strength, underlying demand signals remain mixed. The Energy Buyers Guide noted that Monday likely marked the seasonal low point for combined heating and cooling demand, with population-weighted degree days projected at just 5.1, the lowest level since early May 2025. It suggested this could represent a transition point before stronger cooling demand emerges later in the spring.On the supply side, ample inventories continue to weigh on the broader outlook. Barchart noted that natural gas prices had dropped to a 1.5-year nearest-futures low on Apr. 17 amid robust storage levels. US Energy Information Administration data showed inventories as of Apr. 24 were 7.7% above the five-year seasonal average.Production also remains strong. Lower-48 dry gas output was estimated at 110.1 billion cubic feet per day on Monday, up 3.2% from a year earlier and slightly above what the EIA considers typical maximum capacity for April, according to BNEF. Demand in the Lower 48 states totaled 65.5 bcf/day, up 7.0% year over year.LNG feedgas flows showed some softening. Net flows to US LNG export terminals were estimated at 18.0 bcf/day on Monday, down 6.8% from the prior week, BNEF data showed.Reuters, citing LSEG data, reported that exports from the LNG Canada facility exceeded 1 million metric tons in April, setting a monthly record. The plant, the country's first major LNG export terminal and the first on North America's West Coast, shipped all volumes to Asia, with more than half destined for South Korea and at least one cargo delivered to China.
