预计美国5月油气产量分别下降2.1%和1%

中国石化新闻网讯 据俄罗斯卫星新闻网2020年4月13日华盛顿报道，据美国能源信息署(EIA)周一（13日）发布的统计数据显示，与本月产量相比，美国5月份的石油和天然气产量预计将分别下降2.1%和1%。

EIA在一份新闻稿中称，美国4月份石油日产量预计将为870.9万桶，5月份将降至852.6万桶，而天然气日产量将从4月份的8402.7万立方英尺降至5月份的8315.8万立方英尺。

EIA的这个预测是在全球能源市场持续动荡的背景下做出的，欧佩克推迟达成一项新的协议，以及为遏制疫情而实施的旅行限制导致能源消费急剧下降。

欧佩克+国家,以及美国、巴西和加拿大周日达成一项新协议，从5月1日起在欧佩克+集团内每天减少970万桶石油产量。如考虑20国集团国家，这个减产数可能增加到1500万桶/天。

这些减产计划将延伸至6月底，然后在7月至年底期间每天削减770万桶石油，然后在2021年1月至2022年4月期间每天削减580万桶石油。

欧佩克+集团预计将在6月10日再次开会，以确定是否需要采取额外措施。

US Energy Department estimates 2.1% drop in oil production in May,1% drop in natural gas

Output of oil and natural gas in the United States is expected to decline by 2.1 percent and 1 percent respectively in May compared with production levels this month, according to Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates released on Monday.

Anticipated oil output in April of 8.709 million barrels per day is forecast to fall to 8.526 million barrels in May, while gas production is forecast to fall from 84.027 million cubic feet/day to 83.158 million cubic feet/day, the EIA said in a press release.

The forecast comes amid ongoing turmoil in global energy markets due to delays in striking a new OPEC deal, as well as a precipitous drop in energy consumption amid travel restrictions imposed in an attempt to halt the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

OPEC+ countries, as well as the United States, Brazil, and Canada reached a new agreement on Sunday to reduce oil production by 9.7 million barrels a day within the OPEC+ group starting from 1 May, and possibly up to 15 million barrels of oil per day with G20 nations taken into account.

The cuts are to be extended through the end of June before being tapered to 7.7 million barrels per day from July to the end of 2020, when they will then be reduced to 5.8 million barrels per day from January 2021 through April 2022.

The group is expected to meet once again on 10 June to determine whether additional measures need to be taken.
