加拿大皇家银行称，随着二叠纪盆地钻井活动放缓，美国陆上钻井平台数量下滑。

By

-- 加拿大皇家银行资本市场（RBC Capital Markets）策略师周日在一份报告中指出，受石油钻井活动减少的影响，美国陆上钻机数量连续第二周下滑。 RBC分析师援引贝克休斯（Baker Hughes）的数据称，美国陆上钻机总数环比减少6台，至525台。此次下降主要由石油钻井活动导致，该领域有6台钻机停工，总数降至389台。天然气钻井活动保持稳定，为129台。 美国最大的页岩油产区二叠纪盆地的钻井活动略有下降，钻机数量减少1台，至241台。RBC表示，二叠纪盆地继续主导美国钻井活动，约占美国本土48州石油钻机总数的62%，占陆上钻机总数的47%。 在二叠纪盆地，最活跃的钻井公司是Helmerich & Payne (HP)，拥有88台钻机；其次是Patterson-UTI Energy (PTEN)，拥有32台钻机；以及Nabors Industries (NBR)，拥有29台钻机。埃克森美孚 (XOM) 以34台钻机位居运营商之首，其次是西方石油 (OXY)，拥有20台钻机；康菲石油 (COP) 拥有17台钻机。 鹰滩盆地的钻机数量增加了一台，达到43台；而威利斯顿盆地的钻机数量保持不变，为28台。天然气开采区域表现温和，海恩斯维尔页岩的钻机数量增加了两台，达到58台；而阿巴拉契亚盆地的钻机数量则保持不变，为37台。 加拿大皇家银行 (RBC) 表示，尽管私营运营商在某些地区的作业份额有所下降，但他们在关键盆地仍然发挥着重要作用。在二叠纪盆地，私营公司占活跃钻井平台总数的39%，低于去年同期的43%；而在鹰滩页岩油气田，其份额则从46%降至37%。 相比之下，私营运营商仍然主导着海恩斯维尔页岩油气田，约占钻井平台总数的72%，与去年持平。

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.
