據道瓊斯4月14日消息，美國能源信息署（EIA）的月度鉆井產能報告稱，本月美國原油產量可能降至每日870萬桶，而一個月前估計4月份的原油產量為每日910萬桶。該機構還表示，5月份美國原油產量可能進一步下降，至每日850萬桶。在經歷了多年的強勁、穩定增長后出現下跌，表明低油價正迫使美國生產商關閉油井。

Oil Output in US Shale Regions Declines

The EIA's monthly Drilling Productivity Report says crude-oil production this month likely falls to 8.7M bpd from a month-ago April estimate of 9.1M. It also says May oil output is likely to fall even further, to 8.5M bpd. These declines after years of strong, steady growth suggest low oil prices are forcing US producers to shut-in wells.
