据普氏能源资讯3月14日卡尔加里报道,英国伍德麦肯兹公司北美天然气首席分析师杜勒斯?王14日在卡尔加里举行的CERI2016油气研讨会上表示,今年冬季达到了日产160亿立方英尺天然气最高纪录的加拿大西部沉积盆地的天然气产量在短期内将出现下降,但在2020年前将达到日产140亿立方英尺的稳产状态。
他说,由于来自美国东北部页岩远景区不断增加的产量,加拿大西部沉积盆地的天然气产量在过去的几年里一直在下降。然而,来自加拿大艾伯塔省的油砂生产商对加拿大西部沉积盆地天然气仍将有需求。
加拿大能源研究所名誉主席彼得?霍华德在出席CERI2016油气研讨会期间对媒体记者说,2020年前,加拿大西部预计日增大约70万桶的新油砂产能,这可能每天需要15亿立方英尺的天然气。

WCSB gas output will plateau at 14 Bcf/d by 2020: WoodMac analyst
Calgary (Platts)--14 Mar 2016
Natural gas output in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, which reached a record 16 Bcf/d this winter, will decrease over the short term and plateau at 14 Bcf/d by 2020, an analyst said Monday.
Production in the WCSB has been on the decline in the past few years, due to increasing output from the shale plays in the US' Northeast, which has pushed back Canadian gas from its traditional market in the US. However, there will still be a demand for WCSB gas from oil sands producers in Alberta, Dulles Wang, a principal analyst for North America gas with Wood Mackenzie, said at the CERI 2016 Oil & Gas Symposium.
By 2020, about 700,000 b/d of new oil sands production capacity is projected to be added in Western Canada that could potentially need 1.5 Bcf/d of gas, Peter Howard, president emeritus of the Canadian Energy Research Institute, said on the sidelines of the event.
