EIA：美国明年将成为世界最大原油生产国

中国石化新闻网讯 据美国彭博新闻社7月10日纽约报道，美国政府认为，即使是在这个国家最有利可图的页岩远景区内存在运输堵塞的情况下，美国明年的原油产量仍将进一步上升。

美国能源信息署(EIA)认为，美国2019年将平均日产1180万桶原油，高于其在6月份预测的1176万桶。

EIA署长琳达•卡普阿诺说：“EIA预测美国在2019年将平均日产近1200万桶原油。如果预测属实，美国明年将成为世界上最大的原油生产国。”

知情人士说，自今年2月份以来，美国的平均原油日产量一直超过1000万桶大关。与此同时，沙特阿拉伯日前告诉欧佩克，由于沙特阿拉伯试图通过增加产量来限制不断上涨的油价，该国6月份平均每天生产了1050万桶原油。

U.S. is set to become world's top oil producer, government says

The U.S. government sees oil production further climbing next year even amid transportation logjams in the country’s most prolific shale play.

The Energy Information Administration sees U.S. crude output averaging 11.8 MMbpd in 2019, up from its 11.76-MMbpd estimate in the June outlook.

“In 2019, EIA forecasts that the United States will average nearly 12 MMbbl of crude oil production per day,” said Linda Capuano, Administrator of the EIA. “If the forecast holds, that would make the U.S. the world’s leading producer of crude.”

U.S. crude output has remained above the 10-MMbpd mark since February. That’s while Saudi Arabia told OPEC it pumped about 10.5 MMbbl of crude a day last month as the kingdom sought to cap rallying prices by ramping up output, according to people familiar with the matter.
