石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據路透社11月18日休斯頓消息稱，該組織周日表示，美國十多家頂級能源公司已承諾提供1億美元資金，以緩解西德克薩斯和新墨西哥頁巖油和天然氣熱潮對醫療、教育和公民基礎設施的壓力。 前美國政府官員和能源執行官幫助啟動該組織，并于周六告訴路透社，雪佛龍，EOG資源公司，?？松梨诠竞秃商m皇家殼牌公司等17家公司支持二疊紀聯盟戰略合作伙伴關系，該財團名為Don Evans。 專家表示，該組織致力于解決勞動力和住房短缺、醫療保健負擔過重和交通擁堵問題，這些問題部分是由于一些公司涌入美國最大的二疊紀盆地油田，他們希望在未來幾十年內開采數十億美元的石油和天然氣。 住在德克薩斯州米德蘭的前美國商務部長埃文斯表示：“這是一筆巨額資金，但這些也都是巨大的挑戰?！薄拔覀儧]有足夠的老師。我們沒有足夠的醫生?！?埃文斯說，該組織的目標是與新墨西哥州和德克薩斯州的地區和聯邦官員、公司、非營利組織和教育工作者合作，他一開始在二疊紀盆地工作并在加入前總統喬治·W·布什政府之前曾擔任湯姆布朗公司的首席執行官。 。 該組織正在計劃在該地區的社區舉行會議，這樣“每個人都有發言權”。對于最初的捐款將如何使用沒有時間表或計劃。他說，該小組正在招聘員工并尋找辦公空間。 在過去十年中，該地區的許多石油和低生產成本導致了二疊紀的黃金潮。據美國能源情報署的數據顯示，公司正在向油田投入大量人員和設備，該油田的日產油量將達到370萬桶，是2010年的四倍。 這種繁榮使當地雇主（包括餐館和學校系統承受著員工跳槽的壓力。10月份米德蘭的失業率為2.1％，而全國的失業率為3.7％。 過去十年的頁巖熱潮也導致學校人滿為患 、交通事故死亡人數飆升、藥物濫用以及由于頁巖氣活動造成的電網壓力。 曹海斌 摘譯自 路透社 原文如下： U.S. shale firms offer $100 million to aid Texas, New Mexico More than a dozen top U.S. energy companies have pledged $100 million toward easing stresses on health care, education and civic infrastructure from the shale oil and gas boom in West Texas and New Mexico, the group said on Sunday. Chevron, EOG Resources, Exxon Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell are among 17 companies backing the Permian Strategic Partnership, as the consortium is called, Don Evans, a former U.S. government official and energy executive helping launch the group, told Reuters on Saturday. The group seeks to address labor and housing shortages, overtaxed health care and traffic congestion caused in part by companies descending on the Permian Basin, the nation’s largest oilfield, where they hope to pump billions of dollars’ worth of oil and gas in coming decades, experts said. “It’s a significant amount of money, but these are huge challenges,” said Evans, a former U.S. Secretary of Commerce who lives in Midland, Texas, the epicenter of the shale oil revolution. “We don’t have enough teachers. We don’t have enough doctors.” The group aims to work with regional and federal officials, companies, nonprofit groups and educators in New Mexico and Texas, said Evans, who started in the Permian and became CEO of producer Tom Brown Inc before joining the administration of former President George W. Bush. The group is assembling plans to hold meetings in communities across the region, so “everyone have a voice” in the undertaking. There is no timetable or plan for how the initial contribution will be spent. The group is recruiting staff and searching for office space, he said. In the last decade, the region’s many pockets of oil and low production costs have led to gold rush-like conditions in the Permian. Companies are pouring staff and equipment into the oilfield, which is expected to pump 3.7 million barrels of oil per day by December, four times its rate in 2010, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. That boom has local employers, including restaurants and school systems, under pressure from staff leaving for oilfield jobs. Midland’s unemployment rate was 2.1 percent in October, compared to the nation’s 3.7 percent rate. The last decade’s shale boom also has led to school overcrowding, soaring traffic fatalities, drug abuse and strains on the power grid because of the activity. ?
