據(jù)世界石油5月11日報道，美國原油周產(chǎn)量三個月來首次下降，暗示油田成本飆升可能會阻礙鉆探商擴大產(chǎn)量。

油價下跌的原因是，石油消費國正在爭相獲得額外的供應，以減少對石油進口的依賴，并壓低飆升的原油價格。美國敦促該國石油行業(yè)提高供應，以幫助應對創(chuàng)紀錄的燃料通脹。

美國能源信息署的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，上周美國國內(nèi)原油日產(chǎn)量下降10萬桶，至1180萬桶，此前三周一直保持穩(wěn)定。下降的原因是阿拉斯加州出口量的小幅下降。美國其他地區(qū)(包括高產(chǎn)的二疊紀頁巖盆地)的產(chǎn)量保持穩(wěn)定。

在本周發(fā)布的《短期能源展望》報告中，EIA下調(diào)了2023年的產(chǎn)量預測。鉆井公司表示，從鉆井平臺、勞動力到柴油燃料和壓裂砂，他們正經(jīng)歷著各種價格的螺旋式上升。

U.S. oil output slips as higher costs hit drillers

Weekly U.S. crude oil production declined for the first time in three months, signaling that soaring costs across the oil fields may be preventing drillers from expanding output.  

The decline hits as the oil-consuming nations are scrambling for additional supplies to reduce reliance  and bring down the skyrocketing crude prices. Presidenthas urged the industry to raise supply to help battle historically high fuel inflation.

Domestic crude output last week fell 100,000 barrels to 11.8 million barrels a day, after holding steady over the previous three weeks, according to data from the Energy Information Administration. The decline stems from a small drop in Alaskan volumes. Output from the rest of the US, including prolific Permian shale basin, held steady.

In its Short-Term Energy Outlook report this week, the EIA lowered its production forecast through 2023. Drillers have said they are experiencing spiraling prices on everything from rigs and workers to diesel fuel and frac sand.
