據OE網站4月1日報道，根據咨詢公司Spears＆Associates周三發布的一份報告顯示，由于油氣生產商削減支出，今年全球油田設備和服務的支出較2019年將下降21％，至2110億美元，為2005年以來的最低水平。

支出下降的原因是，疫情抑制了石油和天然氣需求，以及沙特阿拉伯和俄羅斯竭盡全力爭奪頁巖油生產商的市場份額。美國3月原油期貨下跌54％，周二至每桶20.48美元，低于美國生產商的生產成本。

Spears對2020年支出的估計低于2016年最后一次價格暴跌最低點時的行業支出，不到2014年峰值4730億美元的一半。

該公司的一位高管表示，該公司對油田公司進行調查，評估公司的報告并模擬銷售情況，該公司歷來沒有公開發布其數據，但跌勢的嚴重性以及對該行業未來的爭論使其改變了方向。

Spears估計，在北美收入中占最大份額的油田部門將受到最大沖擊，其中水力壓裂支出將比去年下降44％，而土地合同鉆探將下降29％。

據Spears稱，美國最大的水力壓裂供應商哈里伯頓的壓裂業務收入可能降至約41億美元，低于2016年的45億美元，而合同鉆井商Nabors則可能認為該年度的合同土地鉆探從2016年的18億美元降至17億美元。

有助于推動美國頁巖繁榮的定向鉆井的總支出，比去年可能下降30%，而連油管和人工升降機的銷售預計將分別下降29%和27%。

鉆機、油泵車和工具等主要設備的制造商，預計將比上年減少50％的支出。

國際市場的情況不會那么糟。 據Spears估計，海上鉆井銷售合同將下降7%，海上建造將比上一年下降10%。

Oilfield Equipment and Services Spending to Fall to 2005-Low

Global spending on oilfield equipment and services this year will fall 21% from 2019 to $211 billion, the lowest level since 2005, according to a report to be released on Wednesday by consultancy Spears & Associates, as oil and gas producers slash spending.

The decline comes as the coronavirus pandemic has crushed oil and gas demand, and Saudi Arabia and Russia pump full bore in a grab for market share that has shale producers reeling. U.S. oil futures fell 54% for the month of March, to $20.48 a barrel on Tuesday, below U.S. producers' cost of production.

Spears' estimate for 2020 spending is below industry outlays at the nadir of the last price crash in 2016, and less than half the 2014 peak of $473 billion.

The company, which surveys oilfield firms, evaluates company reports and models sales, historically has not publicly released its data, but the severity of the drop and debate over the industry's future made it change course, an executive said.

Oilfield segments with the greatest share of North American revenue will see the biggest hits, with hydraulic fracturing spending down 44% from last year and land contract drilling down 29%, Spears estimated.

Halliburton, the top U.S. hydraulic fracturing provider, could see its fracking revenue fall to around $4.1 billion, below $4.5 billion in 2016, and contract driller Nabors could see contract land drilling fall to $1.7 billion for the year, from $1.8 billion in 2016, according to Spears.

Overall spending on directional drilling, which helped launch the U.S. shale boom, could fall 30% over last year, and coiled tubing and artificial lift sales are expected to fall 29% and 27%, respectively.

Manufacturers of major equipment, such as rigs, pumping trucks, and tools, are expected to face a 50% decline in spending from the prior year.

International markets will not fare as badly. Offshore contract drilling sales will dip 7% and offshore construction will fall 10% from the prior year, Spears estimates.
