石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社11月18日休斯顿消息称，该组织周日表示，美国十多家顶级能源公司已承诺提供1亿美元资金，以缓解西德克萨斯和新墨西哥页岩油和天然气热潮对医疗、教育和公民基础设施的压力。 前美国政府官员和能源执行官帮助启动该组织，并于周六告诉路透社，雪佛龙，EOG资源公司，埃克森美孚公司和荷兰皇家壳牌公司等17家公司支持二叠纪联盟战略合作伙伴关系，该财团名为Don Evans。 专家表示，该组织致力于解决劳动力和住房短缺、医疗保健负担过重和交通拥堵问题，这些问题部分是由于一些公司涌入美国最大的二叠纪盆地油田，他们希望在未来几十年内开采数十亿美元的石油和天然气。 住在德克萨斯州米德兰的前美国商务部长埃文斯表示：“这是一笔巨额资金，但这些也都是巨大的挑战。”“我们没有足够的老师。我们没有足够的医生。“ 埃文斯说，该组织的目标是与新墨西哥州和德克萨斯州的地区和联邦官员、公司、非营利组织和教育工作者合作，他一开始在二叠纪盆地工作并在加入前总统乔治·W·布什政府之前曾担任汤姆布朗公司的首席执行官。 。 该组织正在计划在该地区的社区举行会议，这样“每个人都有发言权”。对于最初的捐款将如何使用没有时间表或计划。他说，该小组正在招聘员工并寻找办公空间。 在过去十年中，该地区的许多石油和低生产成本导致了二叠纪的黄金潮。据美国能源情报署的数据显示，公司正在向油田投入大量人员和设备，该油田的日产油量将达到370万桶，是2010年的四倍。 这种繁荣使当地雇主（包括餐馆和学校系统承受着员工跳槽的压力。10月份米德兰的失业率为2.1％，而全国的失业率为3.7％。 过去十年的页岩热潮也导致学校人满为患 、交通事故死亡人数飙升、药物滥用以及由于页岩气活动造成的电网压力。 曹海斌 摘译自 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.
