据美国彭博社新闻社12月10日休斯敦/纽约报道,全球最大的独立石油生产商美国大陆菲利普斯公司(康菲)首席执行官瑞安·兰斯表示,尽管原油价格下跌,但该公司预计明年其在美国的页岩油气产量仍将增加25%,这证明这个行业在动荡的市场中具有恢复力。
兰斯周一在休斯顿接受媒体记者采访时表示,在美国,当油价徘徊在50美元/桶左右时,位于鹰福特页岩远景区区、二叠纪盆地和巴肯油田的康菲油井就能产生现金。今年第三季度,康菲从上述三个地区的原油日产量合计为31.3万桶,占该公司全球产量的25%。
兰斯表示,美国的原油产量正在激增,它导致全球供应过剩并导致油价自10月初以来下跌了三分之一,页岩气利润随后受到挤压,而明年增长可能会减缓,但该行业现在的状况远好于4年前出现暴跌的时候。
兰斯表示,页岩油气产量增长“在油价每桶50美元时会放缓,但如果油价回升到60美元,产量增长肯定会继续。”

Conoco sees U.S. shale growth at 25% in 2019, even as oil slides
ConocoPhillips, the world’s largest independent oil producer, sees shale production growing 25% next year even as crude prices tumble, proving the industry’s resilience in volatile markets, said CEO Ryan Lance.
In the U.S., Conoco wells in the Eagle Ford Shale, Permian Basin and the Bakken field generate cash when prices hover around $50/bbl, Lance said in an interview American crude output is surging, contributing to a global supply glut that has pushed prices down by third since the beginning of October. The subsequent squeeze Production growth “slows down at $50 but I don’t think it stops at $50 and it certainly continues if prices get back to $60,” Lance said. Skeptics thought shale “wouldn’t last long but it’s here, it’s a huge resource and it’s going to be resilient and long lasting.”
