???? 據今日油價2月27日報道,美國能源信息署(EIA)最新的月度報告顯示,美國2020年12月原油產量降至平均每天1106.3萬桶,平均下降了5.8萬桶/天。
????美國最多產的PADDⅢ區的產量同比持平,為761.1萬桶/天。這包括德克薩斯州和聯邦近海PADDⅢ區的產量,以及新墨西哥州、路易斯安那州、密西西比州、阿肯色州和阿拉巴馬州的產量。
????第二多產的PADD II區,從2020年11月的182.8萬桶/天下降到12月的178.2萬桶/天,其中包括北達科他州和俄克拉荷馬州。
????值得一提的是,產量損失可能仍不會停止。雖然2020年12月是最后一個完整的有實際數據的月份,但EIA預估的每周原油產量顯示,2021年的日產量低于12月。至于下降幅度有多大,根據EIA的數據,2019年12月的平均產量超過1280萬桶/天。
????EIA估計,1月份有幾周的數據最低時為為1090萬桶/天。該機構最新公布的截至2月19日一周的產量預估顯示,美國原油總產量平均僅為970萬桶/天。
????上周原油產量的大幅下降可能是由于德州的嚴寒天氣,該州數百萬居民斷電,煉油廠和原油產量被迫減少。
????EIA估計,在2022年之前,美國的原油產量不會超過2020年的水平。

????U.S. Oil Production Fell To 11 Million Bpd In December
????U.S. crude oil production fell in December to an average 11.063 million barrels per day, according to the Energy Information Administration’s latest monthly report.
????U.S. crude oil production fell an average of 58,000 barrels per day, the EIA said on Friday.
????U.S. production from the most prolific PADD, PADD 3, stayed the same for the month of December at 7.611 million barrels per day. This includes production from Texas and federal offshore PADD 3 production, as well as New Mexico, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Alabama.
????The second most prolific crude oil PADD, PADD 2, fell from 1.828 million bpd in November to 1.782 million bpd in December. This includes producers such as North Dakota and Oklahoma
????But the production losses likely did not stop in December.
????While December is the last full month for which there is actual data, the EIA estimates weekly crude oil production as well, and those estimates are below the 11.063 million bpd the United States saw in December.
????For perspective on how sharp of a drop that is, average production in December 2019 was over 12.8 million barrels per day, according to EIA data.
????For January, the EIA estimated that some weeks dipped as low as 10.9 million bpd. And the EIA’s most recent production estimates for week ending February 19 pegs total U.S. crude production at an average of just 9.7 million bpd.
????This dramatic drop in crude oil production in the previous week is likely courtesy of the Texas Freeze, when refinery and crude oil production had to be curtailed due to freezing temperatures that cut power to millions of residents in the state.
????The EIA estimates that U.S. crude production will not exceed the levels seen in 2020 until 2022.
