据能源网2月16日休斯敦报道，据行业咨询公司Evercore ISI称，未来几年将增加美国产量的石油钻探商面临着美国最高产的页岩区劳动力短缺的巨大阻力。
Evercore在给客户的一份研究报告中表示，横跨得克萨斯州和新墨西哥州的二叠纪盆地将是今年美国石油日产量预计增加75万桶的主要驱动力，但石油生产商要想超越这一值“可能面临一些重大挑战”，在未来两年重复同样的增长。
油价飙升加速了页岩气开采的复苏，因为大量现金帮助生产商摆脱了由疫情导致的低迷。自去年12月初以来，原油价格已飙升40%，达到每桶90美元以上。上周，石油钻探公司增加的钻机数量达到四年来的最高水平。
Evercore在与Endeavor Energy Resources首席执行官Lance Robertson的一次会面中表示，这家页岩勘探公司大约60%的油田工作都依赖于二叠纪盆地的员工，这一水平以前只在活动周期的高峰时期出现过。
Endeavor没有立即回复置评请求。
本周早些时候，美国政府报告称，二叠纪盆地的石油供应量连续三个月达到创纪录水平。

Permian Roughneck Shortage Clouds Outlook for Oil Output Growth
Oil drillers set to increase U.S. production in the coming years face considerable headwinds from labor shortages in America’s most prolific shale patch, according to industry consultants Evercore ISI.
The Permian Basin straddling Texas and New Mexico will be the main driver of an estimated 750,000 barrel-a-day increase in U.S. oil output this year, but producers “could face some significant challenges” to go beyond that and repeat the same growth in the coming two years, Evercore said in a research note to clients.
Surging oil prices have sped up a revival of shale drilling as a bounty of cash helps producers shake off a pandemic-driven downturn. Crude prices have surged 40% since early December to more than $90 a barrel, and drillers added the most rigs in four years last week.
Citing a meeting with Lance Robertson, the chief executive officer of Endeavor Energy Resources, Evercore said the shale explorer is already relying on out-of Permian staff for roughly 60% of its field work, a level previously only seen at activity cycle peaks.
Endeavor didn’t immediately reply to requests for comment.
Earlier this week, the U.S. government reported that the Permian reached record volumes of oil supply for three consecutive months.
