石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯2019年3月12日华盛顿报道,由于墨西哥湾、奈厄布拉勒和阿纳达科页岩远景区的产量预期较低,美国能源信息署(EIA)周二把今明两年美国国内原油日产量预期分别大幅下调了11万桶和17万桶。
EIA在其月度短期能源展望报告中表示,今年美国石油日产量预计将平均为1230万桶,2020年将平均为1303万桶。
EIA预计,美国生产商将在明年第三季度首次日产1300万桶石油,比上月的预测晚了一个季度。
美国能源信息署署长琳达·卡普阿诺在一份声明中说:“今明两年美国的石油产量仍有望创下新纪录。”
EIA表示,美国将在今年12月首次成为石油净出口国,原油和成品油日产量将比进口高出24万桶。
EIA预计,到2020年,美国将保持石油净出口国的地位,平均每天出口超过进口7万桶。2018年,美国石油净进口量平均为234万桶/天,预计2019年将达到95万桶/天。
EIA在其月度短期能源展望报告中上调了其对今年布伦特原油和西德克萨斯中质原油平均价格的预期。

EIA trims US oil production outlook to 12.3 million b/d in 2019, 13.03 million b/d in 2020
The US Energy Information Administration on Tuesday trimmed its outlook for domestic crude production by 110,000 b/d for 2019 and by 170,000 b/d for 2020 on lower expectations out of the Gulf of Mexico, as well as the Niobrara and Anadarko shale plays.
US oil output is now expected to average 12.3 million b/d in 2019 and 13.03 million b/d in 2020, EIA said in its monthly Short-Term Energy Outlook.
EIA sees US producers pumping 13 million b/d for the first time in the third quarter of 2020, one quarter later than last month's forecast.
"Both years are still on track for new production records," EIA Administrator Linda Capuano said in a statement.
The US will become a net oil exporter for the first time on a monthly basis in December by exporting 240,000 b/d more crude and refined products than it imports, EIA said.
EIA expects the US to hold onto the net oil exporter title in 2020, with exports topping imports by an average of 70,000 b/d. US net imports averaged 2.34 million b/d in 2018 and are projected to average 950,000 b/d in 2019.
EIA raised its outlook for 2019 average Brent and WTI crude prices.
