因油价暴跌 美国石油"无暇顾及"二叠纪

据今日油价3月23日报道，因油价暴跌，石油公司急于削减预算和涉及美国最富产的页岩盆地二叠纪，然而行业机构期望，虽然短期内困难，页岩区能幸免于油价战和油价暴跌。

阿帕奇公司（Apache Corporation）两周前表示，将其今年资本投资计划从先前的16亿—19亿美元削减至10亿—12亿美元。阿帕奇还将在未来几周内停止在二叠纪开采石油，以限制“依赖短周期石油项目”。

阿帕奇首席执行官兼总裁John J. Christmann IV在一份声明中表示，我们将在今年剩余时间内大幅减少计划的钻机数量和完井量，并且我们的资本支出计划将根据市场情况保持灵活。

几天后，先锋自然资源公司还宣布将“采取果断行动，以应对油价下跌和全球宏观经济的不确定性。”

先锋将2020年的钻井、完井和设施资本预算削减了约45％，预计在16亿—18亿美元之间。面对低油价，该公司将在未来两个月内将其运营的钻机数量从目前的22台减少到11台。

US Oil Turns Its Back On The Permian As Prices Crash

Amid crashing oil prices, oil firms are rushing to cut budgets and exposure to the most prolific shale basin in the United States, the Permian, yet industry bodies expect the shale patch to survive the oil price war and the oil price collapse despite the short-term pain.

Apache Corporation said two weeks ago it was slashing its 2020 capital investment plan to $1.0 billion-$1.2 billion from a previous range of $1.6 billion-$1.9 billion. Apache will also stop pumping oil in the Permian in the coming weeks to limit “exposure to short-cycle oil projects.”

“We are significantly reducing our planned rig count and well completions for the remainder of the year, and our capital spending plan will remain flexible based on market conditions,” John J. Christmann IV, Apache’s chief executive officer and president, said in a statement.

A few days later, Pioneer Natural Resources also announced it was “taking decisive action in response to lower oil prices and global macroeconomic uncertainty.”

Pioneer is cutting its 2020 drilling, completion, and facilities capital budget by some 45 percent, expecting it to range between $1.6 billion to $1.8 billion. Faced with low oil prices, the company will reduce its operated rig count from 22 currently to 11 operated rigs within the next two months.
