油价下跌冲击美国国内石油产量

据道琼斯9月21日消息，在长达一年的油价暴跌之后，近几个月来美国原油产量开始减少，目前的问题变成了实际减产规模有多大。根据美国能源情报署的数据，美国原油产量在4月份达到了960万桶/日的峰值，创下数年高位；在那之后，原油产量开始下降，当前已跌破920万桶/日。SEB Markets首席大宗商品分析师Bjarne Schieldrop表示，从可获得的最新数据估算，美国2016年底的产量区间在820万-850万桶/日。这两个数字都远远低于能源情报署给出的890万桶/日的目标。

Falling Oil Prices Hitting U.S. Domestic Production

With U.S. oil output starting to fall in recent months as a result of the year-long price rout, the question becomes how big the decrease will turn out to be. According the U.S. Energy Information Administration, domestic production peaked in April at more than 9.6 million barrels a day--a multidecade high--and has fallen to below 9.2 million barrels a day since then. Extrapolating from the latest available data, Bjarne Schieldrop, chief commodities analyst at SEB Markets, estimates that U.S. production will range between 8.2 and 8.5 million barrels a day at the end of 2016. Both forecasts are substantially below EIA's end of year target of 8.9 million barrels a day.
