美国二叠纪盆地天然气放空燃烧量创历史新高

中国石化新闻网讯 据油气在线休斯敦12月4日消息，Rystad能源公司表示，今年第三季度美国二叠纪盆地天然气放空燃烧量达到历史最高水平，原因是该盆地的产量持续上升，同时运输能力面临严峻挑战。

Rystad能源公司估计，第三季度二叠纪盆地天然气放空燃烧量平均为4.07亿立方英尺/日，而且，考虑到9月份仍存在的严重漏报，一旦最终处置数据登记在案，这一数字可能会进一步攀升。

Rystad能源公司还预计，二叠纪盆地天然气放空燃烧量在2019年将持续大幅增加，假设西德克萨斯中质原油价格回升至60美元/桶，以支撑现有活动水平，那么到2019年年中，燃烧量将达到至少6亿立方英尺/日。

Rystad Energy: Permian gas flaring hits all-time highs

Gas flaring in the Permian basin reached an all-time high in this year’s third quarter as the persistent rise in production collided with severe takeaway capacity challenges, according to Rystad Energy.

Rystad estimates that gas flaring in the Permian averaged 407 MMcfd in the third quarter, and this number is likely to climb even higher once final disposition figures are registered, given the substantial level of underreporting that still exists for September.

Rystad also expects flaring to rise well into 2019, reaching a level of at least 600 MMcfd by mid-2019 assuming West Texas Intermediate oil prices recover to $60/bbl to support existing activity levels.
