石油设备网讯 据路透社报道，美国能源信息署（EIA）在周五发布的每月914生产报告中称，3月份，美国原油产量增长24.1万桶/日，涨幅为2.1%，达到1190.5万桶/日，略低于历史高点，美国原油月产量在去年12月达到了1196.6万桶/日的峰值。
大部分增长来自墨西哥湾沿岸，涨幅为11.1%，至190.7万桶/日；北达科他州涨幅为3.2%，至135.2万桶/日；与此同时，美国最大产油州德克萨斯州的原油产量下降了0.1%，至487.3万桶/日。
根据这份报告，3月份，美国48个州的天然气总月产量从2月份的991亿立方英尺/日高点升至创纪录的993亿立方英尺/日。
推动这些增长的因素是墨西哥湾天然气产量上涨了8.7%，至29亿立方英尺/日；北达科他州上涨7.2%，至28亿立方英尺/日的创纪录高位；最大天然气生产州德克萨斯州产量下降了0.9%，从2月份创纪录的266亿立方英尺/日降至264亿立方英尺/日；第二大天然气生产州宾夕法尼亚州的天然气产量增长了0.7%，达到创纪录的188亿立方英尺/日。

U.S. crude output rises 2.1% in March to near record high: EIA
U.S. crude oil production rose 241,000 barrels per day (bpd), or 2.1 percent, in March to 11.905 million bpd, just below its record high, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said in its monthly 914 production report on Friday.
U.S. monthly output peaked at 11.966 million bpd in December.
Most of the increase came from the federal offshore Gulf of Mexico, which rose 11.1% to 1.907 million bpd, and North Dakota, which gained 3.2% to 1.352 million bpd.
Output in Texas, the biggest oil producing state, meanwhile, eased 0.1 percent to 4.873 million bpd.
Meanwhile, monthly gross natural gas production in the Lower 48 U.S. states rose to a fresh record high 99.3 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) in March from the prior high of 99.1 bcfd in February, according to the report.
Those gains were driven by an 8.7% rise in the Gulf of Mexico to 2.9 bcfd and a 7.2% increase in North Dakota to a record high 2.8 bcfd.
In Texas, the biggest gas producing state, output declined 0.9% to 26.4 bcfd from a monthly record high 26.6 bcfd in February.
In Pennsylvania, the second-biggest gas-producing state, output rose 0.7% to a record high 18.8 bcfd.
Zambia, Africa’s top copper producer, imports most of its petroleum requirements, mainly from the Middle East, through the port of Dar-es-Salaam in Tanzania.
