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

該機構表示，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，超過了2022年210億立方英尺的平均水平。二疊紀盆地生產(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本周早些時候表示，預計未來幾個月美國的產(chǎn)量增長將放緩，這表明天然氣產(chǎn)量增長也將放緩。

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

高盛分析師在路透社引用的一份報告中表示：”最近美國鉆機數(shù)量的急劇下降與我們的預期一致，即生產(chǎn)商將繼續(xù)通過削減投資來應對低天然氣價格。”

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，預計日產(chǎn)量將達到1027.4億立方英尺。EIA本周還表示，明年將繼續(xù)上升，達到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.
