今年美国原油日产量将达1100万桶
中国石化新闻网讯 据彭博社2月6日纽约报道,美国政府认为全国范围内的石油产量超过每日1100万桶,比原先预期的要快得多。
美国能源情报署(Energy Information Administration)在周二公布的月度短期能源展望报告中称,11月石油产量已突破每日1000万桶,今年11月的产量将超过每日1,100万桶。
该公司此前预测,2019年11月的产量将超过这一水平。
根据EIA的数据,今年全国平均产量将达到1059万,明年将达到1118万,高于此前预测的1027万和1085万。

U.S. crude output to jump above 11 MMbpd sooner than expected
The U.S. government sees nationwide oil production jumping above 11 MMbpd much quicker than anticipated.
After oil output already topped 10 MMbpd back in November, output will climb above the 11-million mark this November, the Energy Information
Administration said in its monthly Short-Term Energy Outlook on Tuesday.
It previously forecast production above that level in November 2019.
Nationwide output will average 10.59 million this year and 11.18 million next year, up from prior forecasts of 10.27 million and 10.85 million, according to the EIA.
With West Texas Intermediate crude holding above $60/bbl since late last year, the prospect of pumping in this price environment is seen enticing drillers to pick up the pace.
The U.S. oil rig count posted the biggest two-week gain since June, according to the latest Baker Hughes data.
WTI crude will average $58.28/bbl this year, the EIA said, up from last month’s estimate of $55.33, and $57.51 in 2019, higher than $57.43.
The global benchmark Brent is forecast to average $62.39 in 2018, up from $59.74, and $61.51 in 2019 versus $61.43.
WTI traded at $63.59 at 1:50 p.m. in New York, while Brent was at $66.91.
