据道琼斯6月8日消息,JBC能源公司在一份报告中称,虽然供应过剩的问题依然存在,而且由此导致原油价格相对疲软,但美国一些高产地区的页岩油产量正在回升。这些区域包括鹰福特和二叠纪盆地,这些地区运营中的钻井数量已经触底。去年下半年油价大幅下跌拉低了服务成本,同时催生支撑石油行业的税收优惠措施,这些因素已经创造了足够多的激励因素促使最高产的区域增加产量。最近几周,美国的钻井数量已经较去年10月份的最高水平减少50%以上,但并没有给供应造成显著影响。能源情报署最近发布的数据显示,美国的原油产量已增至近950万桶/日。

U.S. Shale Production Is Recovering in High-Producing Areas
[Dow Jones] Despite a continued supply glut and subsequent relatively weak crude oil prices, U.S. shale oil production in some top producing areas is recovering, says JBC Energy in a note. These include Eagle Ford and the Permian basin, where the number of operating rigs has bottomed out. Crude oil's massive price drop in the second half of last year brought down service costs and facilitated favorable tax measures to support the oil industry, which have created sufficient incentives now to raise production in the most productive areas. In recent weeks, investors have seen a more than 50% decline in the U.S. rig counts from their peak in October, but the decline is not having a dramatic impact on supply. The country's crude oil output increased to almost 9.5 million barrels a day in the recent data from the Energy Information Administration.
