據哈特能源5月18日消息，美國能源情報署(EIA)在5月18日的月度報告中稱，美國7個主要頁巖地層的原油產量預計將在6月創紀錄地下降19.7萬桶/天，至782.2萬桶/天。

根據該機構的數據，頁巖地層的產量將是2018年8月以來的最低水平。

自2013年以來，美國頁巖油產量已經增加了一倍多，使美國的石油總產量達到了歷史新高。自3月份以來，由于供應過剩和新型冠狀病毒爆發導致需求大幅下降，生產商已開始減產。

今年6月，預計頁巖油產量將在7個主要頁巖區各有所下降，降幅最大的是德克薩斯州和新墨西哥州的二疊紀盆地，降幅約為每天8.7萬桶。在最大的頁巖產區二疊紀，日產量預計將下降到429萬桶。

Oil Output from Major US Shale Plays to Hit Nearly Two-year Low

U.S. crude production from seven major shale formations is expected to fall by a record 197,000 bbl/d in June to 7.822 million bbl/d, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said in a monthly report on May 18.

The output from shale formations would be the lowest since August 2018, according to data from the agency.

U.S. crude production from shale formations has more than doubled since 2013, lifting the country's overall oil output to new record highs. Producers have throttled back production since March as prices have crashed due to oversupply and a sharp drop in demand due to the novel coronavirus outbreak.

In June, oil output from shale is expected to drop in each of seven major shale regions, with the largest drop of about 87,000 bbl/d in the Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico. In the Permian, the largest producing shale region, production is expected to fall to about 4.29 million bbl/d.
