据彭博社1月19日消息：去年12月，二叠纪盆地的石油产量创下纪录，因为美国最多产的页岩区引领了国内产量复苏。
根据能源信息管理署的数据，上个月来自该盆地的原油供应量平均为492万桶/天。该盆地包括得克萨斯州和新墨西哥州。这超过了2020年3月创下的纪录。该机构还预测，2月份的供应量将首次超过500万桶/天。
如今，二叠纪盆地的产量超过了除沙特阿拉伯以外的所有欧佩克成员国。美国石油总产量仍落后于疫情爆发前的水平，当时原油价格暴跌，生产商被迫削减产量。二叠纪盆地恢复最快，因为低生产成本使其对渴望从油价上涨中获利但必须保持高股东回报的钻探商最具吸引力。
由于需求恢复快于全球产量，去年油价上涨了50%以上。自2021年底以来，几个生产国的供应问题导致价格进一步上涨。与此同时，美国页岩钻探商仍专注于向投资者返还现金，而不是扩大产量。
上个月，美国主要页岩地区的石油总产量达到834万桶/天，为2020年4月以来的最高水平。这远低于2019年11月创下的927万桶/天的纪录高点。

Permian Oil Production Reached Record High Last Month
Oil production in the Permian Basin set a record in December as America’s most prolific shale patch leads the recovery in domestic output.
Crude supply from the Basin, which includes Texas and New Mexico, averaged 4.92 million barrels a day last month, according to the Energy Information Administration. That surpasses the previous record set in March 2020. The agency also forecast that supplies in February would surpass 5 million barrels a day for the first time.
Production from the Permian now exceeds that of each OPEC member except Saudi Arabia. Total U.S. oil output still lags where it stood before the pandemic when crude prices collapsed and forced producers to slash output. The Permian has recovered the most quickly because low production costs make it the most appealing to drillers that are eager to cash in on rising oil prices but must maintain high shareholder returns.
Oil prices rallied more than 50% last year due to demand recovering faster than global production. Supply issues at several producing nations have caused prices to rise further since the end of 2021. Meanwhile U.S. shale drillers remain focused on returning cash to investors instead of expanding production.
Total oil output from America’s major shale regions reached 8.34 million barrels a day last month, the highest since April 2020. That’s well below the record high set in November 2019 of 9.27 million barrels a day.
