美国5月份原油日产量骤降创纪录的200万桶

据管道&天然气杂志网7月31日纽约路透社报道，美国能源信息署(EIA)周五公布的月度报告显示，美国5月原油产量骤降，日产量减少创纪录的200万桶至1,000万桶。

据自2005年以来的数据显示，这是有记录以来最大的月度降幅。今年春季，由于供过于求和新型冠状病毒导致的需求减少，导致价格暴跌。

美国最大原油生产国州德克萨斯州5月减产76.4万桶/天，北达科他州则减产35.3万桶/天。据报告称，美国墨西哥湾近海石油钻探日产量减少30万桶。

汽油需求为720万桶/天，较上年同期下降23.5%。

柴油和其他馏分燃料的需求同比下降12.6％至350万桶/天。

与此同时，根据EIA 914报告显示，5月份美国48个州的天然气日均总产量下降57亿立方英尺，降至974立方英尺，为2018年10月以来的最低点。

这是自2008年9月以来的最大月度降幅.2019年11月，美国天然气产量创下了1070亿立方英尺/天的历史新高，但此后几乎每个月都在下降。

在最大的天然气生产州德克萨斯州，5月份天然气日产量下降了23亿立方英尺，降幅8.1%，至264亿立方英尺。德克萨斯州的很多天然气都是石油生产的伴生气。

美国第二大天然气生产州宾夕法尼亚州，5月份天然气日产量下降了创纪录的7亿立方英尺至193亿立方英尺。

U.S. Crude Output in May Plummets by Record 2 Million Barrels per Day

U.S. crude oil production plummeted in May, falling a record 2 million barrels per day to 10 million bpd, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said in a monthly report on Friday.

The drop, the sharpest monthly decline on record according to data going back to 2005, came after a price crash this spring due to oversupply and reduced demand owing to the novel coronavirus.

Top crude producer state Texas cut production by 764,000 bpd while North Dakota's output fell by 353,000 bpd in the month. Offshore drilling in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico fell by 300,000 bpd, the report said.

Gasoline demand was down 23.5% from year-ago levels at 7.2 million bpd.

Demand for diesel and other distillate fuels fell 12.6% from a year earlier to 3.5 million bpd.

Monthly gross natural gas production in the U.S. Lower 48 states, meanwhile, dropped 5.7 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) in May to 97.4 bcfd, its lowest monthly average since October 2018, according to the EIA 914 report.

That was the biggest monthly decline since September 2008. U.S. gas output hit an all-time monthly high of 107.0 bcfd in November 2019 but has fallen almost every month since.

In Texas, the biggest gas producing state, output fell by a monthly record of 2.3 bcfd, or 8.1%, to 26.4 bcfd in May. A lot of the gas in Texas is associated gas from oil production.

In Pennsylvania, the second-biggest gas-producing state, output dropped by a monthly record of 0.7 bcfd to 19.3 bcfd in May.
