石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據美國彭博新聞社9月12日休斯敦報道，美國能源信息署（EIA）12日公布的最新統計數據顯示，美國的石油產量很有可能在今年早些時候超過俄羅斯和沙特阿拉伯成為全球最大的石油生產國。 根據EIA的9月短期能源展望報告的初步估計，美國2月份石油產量20多年來首次超過了沙特阿拉伯。6月和8月，美國石油產量首次超過了俄羅斯，這是1999年以來的首次。 EIA預計，美國今年剩余時間和2019年的石油產量將繼續超過俄羅斯和沙特。近年來，諸如西德克薩斯和新墨西哥州的二疊紀盆地等地區的石油產量增長迅速。 EIA說，在原油價格在2016年開始上行之后，美國的投資和產量在當年晚些時候雙雙回升。相比之下，俄羅斯和沙特阿拉伯近幾年來都保持了穩定的產量增長。 EIA在其9月短期能源展望報告中沒有公布其對俄羅斯和沙特阿拉伯石油產量的預測。EIA稱，沙特原油產量是EIA的內部估算，而俄羅斯的數據主要來自俄羅斯石油部。 李峻 編譯自 美國彭博新聞社 EIA: US Likely Became Biggest Oil Producer Earlier This Year
America likely overtook Russia and Saudi Arabia in terms of oil output to become the world’s biggest producer earlier this year, according to the Energy Information Administration.
U.S. crude output exceeded that of Saudi Arabia in February for the first time in more than two decades, based on preliminary estimates from the agency’s Short-Term Energy Outlook. In June and August, it overtook Russia for the first time since 1999.
The EIA expects U.S. oil output to continue to exceed Russian and Saudi production for the rest of 2018 and in 2019. Growth has shot up in recent years from areas such as the Permian basin in West Texas and New Mexico.
After crude prices began their upward trajectory in 2016, U.S. investment and production picked up in tandem later that year, according to the EIA. In contrast, both Russia and Saudi Arabia have maintained steady output growth in recent years.
The EIA doesn’t publish forecasts for Russia and Saudi Arabia in its outlook. Saudi crude output are EIA internal estimates while Russian data mainly comes from the Russian Ministry of Oil, the EIA said.
