石油设备网讯 据道琼斯4月19日消息，全球领先的油服巨头斯伦贝谢公司认为，如果油价继续上涨，埃克森美孚和雪佛龙等全球主要石油公司可能会增加在美国页岩油气钻探方面的支出。但斯伦贝谢公司首席执行官Paal Kibsgaard表示，规模较小的生产商今年不太可能采取同样的措施，因为投资者已经施压，要求它们专注于创造自由现金流，而到目前为止，这些公司仍承诺同意投资者的诉求。雪佛龙上周宣布收购阿纳达科公司，从而提高了自己在页岩油气领域的地位。Kibsgaard表示，大型石油公司在美国页岩油气领域的扩张对斯伦贝谢来说是一件好事，因为这些公司愿意在新技术上投资，以提高产量。

DJ Schlumberger Says Majors Could Grow US Shale Spend
Schlumberger believes the world's major oil companies, like Exxon Mobil and Chevron, could increase spending on US shale drilling if oil prices continue to increase. But CEO Paal Kibsgaard says smaller producers are unlikely to do the same this year because investors have pressed them to focus on generating free cash and so far the companies remain committed to that. Chevron recently grew its shale position with its announced acquisition of Anadarko last week. Kibsgaard says the majors' increased footprint in US shale is a good thing for Schlumberger because of those companies' willingness to spend on new technologies for better production.
