据油价网4月18日报道，根据美国能源信息署周一发布的最新钻井生产力报告，美国7个最多产的页岩盆地的页岩油产量将在5月增加13.2万桶/日，至864.9万桶/日。

根据EIA数据，这将是自2020年3月以来最大的月度产量增幅。

预计增幅最大的将来自二叠纪盆地，增加8.2万桶/日，从2022年4月估计的505.5万桶/日增至下个月的513.7万桶/日。EIA预测，第二大涨幅将是Eagle Ford，预计5月份将增加2.6万桶/日，至116.6万桶/日。

EIA还在《钻井生产力报告》中估计，已钻井但未完井(DUC)已从2月的4387口下滑至3月的4273口——这是十多年来的最低水平。自2020年7月以来，DUC数量在过去21个月中的每个月都在稳步下降，当时DUC数量几乎是现在的两倍。

2022年5月，天然气产量也将增加，从4月的90,105百万立方英尺增加到5月的90,826百万立方英尺，其中海恩斯维尔(245百万立方英尺)和阿巴拉契亚(百万立方英尺)增幅最大。

自去年秋季汽油价格开始上涨以来，由于终端消费者继续抱怨汽油价格居高不下，美国页岩气生产一直受到关注。

在EIA之前的DPR中，该机构估计4月份美国七个主要页岩盆地的总产量将增加11.7万桶，达到870.8万桶/日，比4月份的实际数据高出19.1万桶/日。

EIA: U.S. Shale Production To See Sizeable Increase In May

U.S. Shale production in the seven most prolific shale basins is set to increase 132,000 bpd in May to 8.649 million bpd, according to the Energy Information Administration’s latest Drilling Productivity Report published on Monday.

It would be the largest monthly production increase since March 2020, according to EIA data.

The largest increase is expected to come from the Permian basin, increasing just 82,000 bpd from an estimated 5.055 million bpd in April 2022 to 5.137 million bpd next month. The EIA has forecast that the second largest gainer will be the Eagle Ford, which it expects will see an increase of 26,000 bpd, to 1.166 million bpd in May.

The EIA also estimated in the Drilling Productivity Report that Drilled but Uncompleted (DUC) wells had slipped from 4,387 in February to 4,273 in March—the lowest it’s been in over a decade. The DUC count has been steadily declining in each of the previous 21 months, since July 2020 when the DUC count was nearly double what it is today.

Gas production is also set to increase in May 2022, from 90,105 mcf/d in April to 90,826 mcf/d in May, with the largest gains seen from Haynesville (245 mcf/d) and Appalachia (+197 mcf/d).

U.S. shale production has found itself in the spotlight since gasoline prices began rising last fall, as end consumers continue to bemoan high gasoline prices.

In the EIA’s previous DPR, the agency had estimated that total production from the seven major U.S. shale basins would rise by 117,000 in April to reach 8.708 million bpd—191,000 bpd above where April figures actually landed.
