据路透社4月13日报道，美国能源信息署(EIA)周一表示，美国7个主要页岩地层的石油产量预计将连续第三个月上升，5月份，将增加约1.3万桶/天，至761万桶/天。
EIA在月度预测中表示，二叠纪盆地的产量增幅是最大的，该盆地的产量预计将增加5.2万桶/天，至约447万桶/天，为2020年4月以来的最高水平。
巴肯和Eagle Ford等其他主要生产盆地的产量预计将分别下降1.2万桶/天和9000桶/天。根据数据显示，北达科他州和蒙大拿州巴肯盆地的产量预计将下降至110万桶/天，这是自2020年7月以来的最低水平。
随着油价反弹，美国的石油生产商已经开始慢慢增加钻井平台，但市场的需求复苏仍不温不火，加上投资者要求减少债务的压力，使得公司没有急于增加产量。
根据EIA的钻井产能报告，5月份主要页岩盆地的天然气产量预计将下降约1亿立方英尺/天，降至828亿立方英尺/天。相比之下，2019年12月的月度最高记录为869亿立方英尺。
最大的页岩盆地阿巴拉契亚的天然气产量预计在5月份下降1亿立方英尺至341亿立方英尺，这是自2020年10月以来的最低水平。相比之下，2020年12月的月度记录为352亿立方英尺。
根据EIA自2007年以来的数据，如果情况属实，阿巴拉契亚地区的产量将连续第五个月创下纪录。与此同时，Haynesville的天然气产量将在5月份增加了1亿立方英尺/天，达到创纪录的122亿立方英尺/天。
EIA表示，今年3月，生产商在最大的页岩盆地新钻了464口井，完成了641口井的钻探作业。这使得已钻未完井(DUC)数量减少177口至6912口，为2018年11月以来的最低水平。
根据EIA从2014年就开始记录的数据来看，3月是自2020年4月以来钻井和完井数量最多的一个月份，创下九个月来的记录。

U. S. shale oil output to rise 13,000 bpd to 7.61 million bpd in May -EIA
U.S. oil output from seven major shale formations is expected to rise for a third straight month, climbing by about 13,000 barrels per day (bpd) in May to 7.61 million bpd, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said on Monday.
The biggest increase is set to come from the Permian, the top-producing basin in the country, where output is expected to rise by 52,000 bpd to about 4.47 million bpd, the highest since April 2020, the EIA said in a monthly forecast.
Output from other top producing basins such as the Bakken and Eagle Ford are expected to slide by 12,000 bpd and 9,000 bpd, respectively. Production in the Bakken basin of North Dakota and Montana is expected to drop to 1.1 million bpd, the lowest since July 2020, according to the data.
Oil producers in the United States have begun to slowly add drilling rigs as prices rebound, but tepid demand recovery and investor pressure to reduce debt have kept companies from rushing to increase production.
Natural gas production from the major shale basins was expected to decline about 0.1 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) to 82.8 bcfd in May, according to EIA’s drilling productivity report.
That compares with a monthly record high of 86.9 bcfd in December 2019.
Gas output in Appalachia, the biggest shale gas basin, was expected to decline 0.1 bcfd to 34.1 bcfd in May, its lowest since October 2020. That compares with a monthly record of 35.2 bcfd in December 2020.
If correct, that would put output in Appalachia down for a record fifth month in a row, according to EIA data going back to 2007.
Gas output in the Haynesville, meanwhile, rose 0.1 bcfd to a record 12.2 bcfd in May.
EIA said producers drilled 464 wells and completed 641 in the biggest shale basins in March. That left total drilled but uncompleted (DUC) wells down 177 to 6,912, their lowest since November 2018.
That was the most for drilled and completed wells since April 2020 and put DUCs down for a record ninth month in a row, according to EIA data going back to 2014.
