石油设备网讯 据道琼斯6月4日消息，美国两大顶级页岩油生产区二叠纪盆地和巴肯页岩区的运营商在第一季度平均每天燃烧价值近300万美元的天然气。
Rystad能源公司的数据显示，在德克萨斯州西部和新墨西哥州的二叠纪盆地，今年头三个月天然气燃烧和直接释放量达到平均每天6.61亿立方英尺的高点。
此外，北达科他州巴肯地区的天然气产量也超过了管道输送能力。在此期间，该地区的运营商平均每天燃烧或排放约5亿立方英尺的天然气。据Rystad能源公司表示，这两大页岩油生产区加起来燃烧和排放掉的天然气足以满足哥伦比亚和罗马尼亚等国的天然气需求。

Nearly $3M Worth of Gas Burned Daily in Permian, Bakken
Operators in two of America's top oil fields burned an average of nearly $3M worth of natural gas a day during 1Q. In the Permian Basin of West Texas and New Mexico, flaring and direct releases of gas hit an average high of 661M cubic feet a day in the first three months of the year, Rystad Energy data show. Production also exceeds pipeline capacity in North Dakota's Bakken region, where operators flared or vented about 500M cubic feet of gas a day on average during the period. Combined, that's more than enough to satisfy the natural gas demand of countries such as Colombia and Romania, according to Rystad.
