石油设备网讯 据法新社1月19日巴黎报道，国际能源署（IEA）周五说，由于被油价上涨吸引的页岩公司增加了钻井作业，美国今年将超过沙特阿拉伯成为世界第二大石油生产国。
IEA在其月度市场报告中写道：“今年有望成为美国历史上创纪录的一年。”
IEA说，美国990万桶/天的原油产量现在已达到近50年来的最高水平，使得美国与世界上仅次于俄罗斯的第二大原油生产国沙特阿拉伯势均力敌。
IEA说，如果欧佩克/非欧佩克继续限产，持续增长今年应该看到美国石油日产量将达到1000万桶以上的历史高点，超过沙特阿拉伯并与俄罗斯竞争。

US to overtake Saudi as crude oil producer: IEA
The US is set to overtake Saudi Arabia as the world’s number two oil producer this year, as shale companies, attracted by rising prices, ramp up drilling, the International Energy Agency said on Friday.
“This year promises to be a record-setting one for the US,” the IEA wrote in its monthly market report.
Crude production of 9.9 million barrels per day (bpd) in the US was now at the highest level in nearly 50 years, “putting it neck-and-neck with Saudi Arabia, the world’s second largest crude producer after Russia,” the IEA said.
“Relentless growth should see the US hit historic highs above 10 million bpd, overtaking Saudi Arabia and rivalling Russia during the course of 2018 — provided Opec/non-Opec restraints remain in place,” it said.
