据道琼斯8月31日消息,美国能源署(EIA)最新月度石油产量报告显示,美国石油产量峰值出现在今年4月份,产量达到960万桶/天,而不是先前报道的3月份达到970万桶/天的峰值。自4月份以来美国原油产量开始下降,6月份降至930万桶/天,创下自今年1月份以来的最低水平。分析师们表示,产量的下降显示,美国石油生产商被迫通过削减投资来应对低油价,但是产量还没有下跌足够来缓解全球石油供应过剩的局面。

EIA: US Oil Output Peaked in April, Not March
New monthly oil-production data from the EIA shows that output peaked in April at 9.6M barrels/day, not in March at 9.7M b/d as previously reported. Output has since fallen to 9.3M b/d in June, the lowest level since January. Analysts say the declines show that US oil producers are being forced to respond to low prices by cutting back on spending, but output has not fallen enough to shrink the global glut of oil.
