據(jù)油價(jià)網(wǎng)6月14日消息稱，EIA報(bào)告稱，二疊紀(jì)盆地的天然氣產(chǎn)量在2022年達(dá)到歷史最高水平的210億立方英尺/天。

該機(jī)構(gòu)表示，這比2021年的產(chǎn)量總數(shù)增加了14%，也是歷史最高水平。

今年，該盆地的天然氣產(chǎn)量也繼續(xù)增長(zhǎng)，超過(guò)了2022年210億立方英尺的平均水平。二疊紀(jì)盆地生產(chǎn)的幾乎所有天然氣都是石油生產(chǎn)的副產(chǎn)品。隨著石油產(chǎn)量的增加，天然氣產(chǎn)量也在增加。

然而，EIA本周早些時(shí)候表示，預(yù)計(jì)未來(lái)幾個(gè)月美國(guó)的產(chǎn)量增長(zhǎng)將放緩，這表明天然氣產(chǎn)量增長(zhǎng)也將放緩。

鉆機(jī)數(shù)量的變化也表明，產(chǎn)量增長(zhǎng)放緩迫在眉睫。根據(jù)貝克休斯的最新報(bào)告，石油和天然氣鉆井平臺(tái)數(shù)量已經(jīng)連續(xù)六周下降。6月第二周，天然氣鉆井平臺(tái)數(shù)量為135臺(tái)，是自去年3月以來(lái)的最低水平。

高盛分析師在路透社引用的一份報(bào)告中表示：”最近美國(guó)鉆機(jī)數(shù)量的急劇下降與我們的預(yù)期一致，即生產(chǎn)商將繼續(xù)通過(guò)削減投資來(lái)應(yīng)對(duì)低天然氣價(jià)格。”

盡管如此，根據(jù)EIA的數(shù)據(jù)，今年的天然氣產(chǎn)量仍將高于去年，預(yù)計(jì)日產(chǎn)量將達(dá)到1027.4億立方英尺。EIA本周還表示，明年將繼續(xù)上升，達(dá)到1030.4億立方英尺。

Natural Gas Production In The Permian Basin Hit A Record High In 2022

Natural gas production in the Permian Basin hit a record in 2022, the Energy Information Administration reported, with the total at 21 billion cubic feet daily.

This represented a 14% increase on the total for 2021, the agency said, and an all-time high as well.

Natural gas production in the basin continued to grow this year, too, exceeding the 21 billion cubic feet average for 2022. Almost all of the natural gas produced in the Permian is a by-product of oil production. As oil production rises, so does natural gas production.

However, the EIA said earlier this week it expected production growth across the U.S. to slow down over the coming months, which suggests natural gas output growth will slow down, too.

Changes in the rig count also suggest that a slowdown in production growth is imminent. According to the latest report from Baker Hughes, oil and gas rig numbers have now been on the decline for six weeks in a row. The gas rig count, at 135, was the lowest since March last year as of the second week of June.

"The recent sharp drop in the rig count is consistent with our expectation that producers will continue to respond to low gas prices by cutting investment," Goldman Sachs analysts said in a note quoted by Reuters.

Still, gas output will be higher this year than last year’s, according to the EIA, which sees the total at 102.74 billion cubic feet daily. Next year, it will continue higher, reaching 103.04 billion cubic feet, the EIA also said this week.
