石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据美国彭博新闻社9月12日休斯敦报道，美国能源信息署（EIA）12日公布的最新统计数据显示，美国的石油产量很有可能在今年早些时候超过俄罗斯和沙特阿拉伯成为全球最大的石油生产国。 根据EIA的9月短期能源展望报告的初步估计，美国2月份石油产量20多年来首次超过了沙特阿拉伯。6月和8月，美国石油产量首次超过了俄罗斯，这是1999年以来的首次。 EIA预计，美国今年剩余时间和2019年的石油产量将继续超过俄罗斯和沙特。近年来，诸如西德克萨斯和新墨西哥州的二叠纪盆地等地区的石油产量增长迅速。 EIA说，在原油价格在2016年开始上行之后，美国的投资和产量在当年晚些时候双双回升。相比之下，俄罗斯和沙特阿拉伯近几年来都保持了稳定的产量增长。 EIA在其9月短期能源展望报告中没有公布其对俄罗斯和沙特阿拉伯石油产量的预测。EIA称，沙特原油产量是EIA的内部估算，而俄罗斯的数据主要来自俄罗斯石油部。 李峻 编译自 美国彭博新闻社 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.
