中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯2月1日消息,欧佩克减产帮助了北美的页岩油气钻探公司,但仅限于此。BMI研究公司称,近期油价上涨后,更多钻井平台投入使用,预计美国石油产量将复苏,而中东地区的产量也将快速增长。但拉丁美洲和撒哈拉以南非洲的产量依然低迷。BMI研究称:“这两个市场均拥有巨大的资源潜力。但相对较高的成本基础、在很多关键市场的运营环境颇具挑战性、财政和许可条款不利,成为阻碍投资的主要因素。”

Oil Production Is Still Weak, Except in Middle East, US
[Dow Jones] OPEC's production cuts are helping shale drillers in North America, but not anyone else. BMI Research says oil production is expected to recover nicely in the US as more rigs are put to work following the recent rally in oil prices, while the Middle East will also see production grow sharply. But production in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa will remain weak. "Both markets hold significant resource potential. However, comparatively higher cost bases and--in many key markets--a challenging operating environment and unfavorable fiscal and licensing terms have been major deterrents to investment."
