???? 據油價網2021年4月10日休斯敦報道，挪威著名能源研究和商業情報公司雷斯塔能源公司（Rystad Energy）的一份報告顯示，北美的水力壓裂活動已幾乎恢復到了新冠肺炎疫情大流行前的水平，今年3月，北美水力壓裂開工數達到了12個月以來的最高水平。今年第一季度，美國二疊紀盆地的壓裂完井數超過了維持產量所需的水平，因此，美國第二季度的石油產量肯定會上升，但今年晚些時候增幅可能會再次放緩。

????Rystad Energy今年3月在北美就登記了967口已開始壓裂作業井。由于過去幾天的衛星數據覆蓋不完整，Rystad Energy估計，如果在這個月剩下的時間里保持壓裂活動的運行速度，大約有97口井的壓裂作業沒有被檢測到。這將使3月份的最終已開始壓裂作業的井數達到1064口，比2021年1月的活動水平高出約6.5%。

????美國幾乎所有的主要頁巖盆地在今年第二季度至少都處于產量維持狀態，甚至有一些連續的產量增長，就像二疊紀盆地一樣。唯一的例外是巴肯地區和阿納達科地區，這兩個地區的運營商可能仍在努力應對第二季度的產量基數下降。

????然而，必須指出的是，奈厄布拉勒地區3月份的壓裂活動數可能被高估了。雖然水力壓裂活動的增長是真實的，但當前的數值是由幾個大型區塊的水力壓裂活動檢測所驅動的。雷斯塔能源公司相信，這些地區的一些壓裂作業將在3月和4月的幾周內鋪開。

????North American Fracking Activity Soars To Near Pre-Pandemic Levels

????Fracking in North America has almost recovered to pre-pandemic levels, with the count of started frac jobs reaching a 12-month high in March 2021, a Rystad Energy report shows. The number of completed wells in the Permian basin during the first quarter of 2021 exceeded the required output maintenance level, so oil production is set to rise in the current quarter – but will likely slow again later in the year.

????Rystad Energy has already registered 967 started frac operations in North America for March 2021. As satellite data coverage is incomplete for the past few days, we estimate that about 97 jobs are yet to be detected if the running rate of frac activity is maintained in the remainder of the month. This will bring the final count for March to about 1,064 wells – exceeding the January 2021 activity level by about 6.5%.

????Nearly all major basins are positioned for at least production maintenance in the second quarter of the year, or even some sequential production growth, as is the case with the Permian. The only exceptions are the Bakken and Anadarko regions, where operators may still struggle to cope with the base decline this quarter.

????It has to be mentioned, however, that the March frac count for the Niobrara may be overestimated. While the growth in fracking activity is real, the current value is driven by detection of fracking activity on several large pads. We believe that some frac operations on these pads will in reality be spread out across several weeks during March and April.
