據今日油價網站6月14日消息 美國能源信息署（EIA）周一表示，美國產量最高的7個頁巖盆地的頁巖產量將增長3.8萬桶/日。

　　根據EIA的鉆井產能報告，7個主要盆地的原油產量將在7月份增至780.3萬桶/日，這是自去年11月以來的最高產量水平。

　　大部分增長將來自最大的盆地二疊紀，預計該盆地的產量將增加5.6萬桶/日，達到466.3萬桶/日，為2020年3月以來的最高水平。

　　2020年1月，二疊紀的平均石油產量為479.3萬桶/日，目前與疫情前的產量差距縮小。

　　但總體而言，美國總產量仍比2020年1月的水平低近200萬桶/日，EIA預計2021年全年石油產量今年平均僅為1104萬桶/日。多數分析師都認為，美國需要大量投資才能恢復到此前的歷史高位，即每日1310萬桶，但WTI接近71美元，這鼓勵了鉆探活動的增加。自今年年初以來，二疊紀盆地增加了61個鉆井平臺。

　　U.S. Shale Oil Production Set To Grow By 38,000 Bpd Next Month

　　United States shale output from the seven most prolific shale basins is set to grow by 38,000 bpd, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said on Monday.

　　Crude oil production from the seven major basins, according to the EIA’s Drilling Productivity Report, is set to increase to 7.803 million bpd in July—the highest output level since November of last year.

　　Most of the increase is set to come from the largest basin, the Permian, which is expected to see an increase in output by 56,000 bpd to 4.663 million bpd—the highest rate since March 2020.

　　The Permian’s average oil production was 4.793 million bpd in January 2020, as the gap between current and pre-pandemic production closes.

　　But overall, total U.S. production is still nearly 2 million bpd under January 2020 levels, with the EIA expecting full-year 2021 oil production to average just 11.04 million bpd this year. Most analysts agree that it would take a significant amount of investment for the United States to return to the previous record high of 13.1 million bpd, but WTI near $71 has encouraged an increase in drilling activities, with the Permian basin gaining 61 rigs since the start of this year.
