據9月23日Rigzone報道，根據Rystad Energy對25家上市石油公司第二季度收益報告的分析，美國大部分陸上石油公司將在今年第三季度末恢復幾乎全部停產的石油產量。

Rystad Energy指出，納入分析的石油公司的減產量在5月份達到峰值，凈減少77.25萬桶/天，6月份減產量降至68.03萬桶/天。Rystad Energy數據顯示，7月原油日凈產量仍減少約30.65萬桶，8月原油日凈產量降至7.43萬桶，9月份幾乎所有暫停的原油生產都將恢復。

Rystad Energy強調，這些石油公司監測到的減產主要是在4月和5月實施的，完全是出于經濟和技術方面的考慮，營商關閉了利潤較低的油井，同時減少了對其他油井的回流。到了5月下半月，油價回升，加上整體市場前景轉好，促使許多生產商重新評估停產計劃。

Rystad Energy負責北美頁巖和上游板塊的副總裁Veronika Akulinitseva表示：“在停產和減產之后，沒有任何運營商報告過產量損失，大多數公司都表示運營恢復順利，在某些情況下，這些恢復活動對生產產生了積極影響。”

Rystad Energy分析的25家樣本公司包括以下幾個油氣企業：康菲石油公司、埃克森美孚公司、雪佛龍公司、西方石油公司、康喬資源公司、阿帕奇公司、大陸資源公司和EOG資源公司。

Shut In Oil Production Is Coming Back

Most U.S. onshore operators will restore nearly all shut in oil volumes by the end of the third quarter of this year, according to a Rystad Energy analysis of 25 public oil operators’ second quarter earnings statements.

Curtailments from the sample group peaked in May with a net 772,500 barrels per day (bpd) taken off the market before decreasing to a net 680,300 bpd in June, Rystad Energy outlined. In July, around 306,500 bpd in net volumes remained curtailed, according to Rystad Energy, which noted that this number is expected to fall to a net 74,300 bpd in August and that “nearly all” production is set to be reactivated by September.

Rystad Energy highlighted that the cuts monitored in the sample group were implemented mostly in April and May and were entirely driven by economic and technical considerations, with operators shutting in lower margin wells while reducing flowback on others. The company said a recovery in oil prices in the second half of May and a stronger overall market outlook prompted many producers to re-evaluate their shut-in plans.

“No loss of production has been reported by any operator following the shut-ins and moderation of output, with most companies flagging a smooth return of operations, and in some cases posting a positive production impact from those reactivations,” Rystad Energy Vice President for North American Shale and Upstream, Veronika Akulinitseva, said in a company statement sent to Rigzone.

Rystad Energy’s sample group of 25 companies included the following oil and gas businesses; ConocoPhillips Corporation, ExxonMobil Corporation, Chevron Corporation, Occidental Petroleum Corporation, Concho Resources Inc, Apache Corporation, Continental Resources Inc and EOG Resources Inc.
