在美國，對頁巖的投資將增加35% 

圭亞那、巴西、西非和澳大利亞等石油前沿地區的投資預計也將大幅增加 

據油價網 5月26日報道，據《休斯敦紀事報》報道，雷斯塔（Rystad）能源公司稱，由于油價飆升以及大量資金流入巴西、圭亞那、西非和澳大利亞的項目，今年全球石油和天然氣投資將增長20%。

今年早些時候，Rystad預測2022年投資將增長8%；然而，隨著布倫特原油價格持續突破每桶110美元，而西得克薩斯中質油（WTI）也在同一水平上下徘徊，我們現在正見證著2008年以來最高的增長率預測。

Rystad表示，在美國，以二疊紀盆地為首，對頁巖的投資將增加35%，而對深海近海鉆井的投資將增加30%。

在全球范圍內，最大的投資增長來自圭亞那等地，埃克森美孚在那里見證了過去7年的一系列重大發現。僅在今年，埃克森美孚與合作伙伴Hess等就在圭亞那近海的Stabroek區塊發現了5處石油，目前資源更新至近110億桶。

據路透社報道，挪威石油巨頭挪威國家石油公司（Equinor）和埃克森美孚（Exxon）上周在巴西采取了具體行動，擴大一項價值80億美元的海上項目，該項目位于Bacalhau油田，該油田的石油儲量超過10億桶。該項目的下一階段將包括一條超過100英里長的天然氣管道。

本月早些時候，Rystad表示，由于油價高企和經濟穩健，今年二疊紀特拉華盆地的產量將達到創紀錄的570萬桶油當量，總產量有望增加約99萬桶/天。

Rystad還表示，與2021年相比，2022年該盆地的投資將增加40%，盡管超級巨頭在2020年削減了超過30%的二疊紀特拉華盆地投資。

Rystad: Oil And Gas Investment To Rise 20% In 2022

Rystad: Global oil and gas investment is set to rise by 20% this year.

In the United States, investment in shale is set to increase by 35%.

Oil frontiers like Guyana, Brazil, West-Africa and Australia are also expected to see a major uptick in investment.

Global oil and gas investment is set to rise by 20% this year, according to Rystad Energy, with growth driven by soaring oil prices and big money flowing into projects in Brazil, Guyana, West Africa and Australia, the Houston Chronicle reports. 

Earlier this year, Rystad had forecast 8% growth for 2022; however, with Brent consistently topping $110 and WTI flirting with the same levels, we are now witnessing the highest growth rate forecasts since 2008. 

In the United States, investment in shale is set to increase by 35%, with the Permian basin leading the way, Rystad said, while investment in deepwater offshore drilling is set to rise by 30%. 

Globally, the biggest uptick in investment is coming from places like Guyana, where ExxonMobil has witnessed a string of major discoveries over the past seven years. This year alone, Exxon, with partners Hess, has made five oil discoveries in the Stabroek Block offshore Guyana, now updating resources to nearly 11 billion barrels. 

In Brazil, last week, Norwegian oil giant Equinor and Exxon made concrete moves to expand an $8-billion offshore project, Reuters reported, in the Bacalhau oilfield, which contains more than 1 billion barrels of oil. The next phase of the project will include a gas pipeline that is more than 100 miles long.  

Earlier this month, Rystad said production in the Permian Delaware Basin would hit a record 5.7 million barrels of oil equivalent (boepd) this year, thanks to high oil prices and solid economics, with total production on track to increase by some 990,000 boepd. 

Rystad also said that investments in the basin would increase 40% in 2022, over 2021, despite the fact that supermajors cut their investments in the Permian Delaware Basin last in 2020 by over 30%.
