石油设备网讯 据世界石油网站3月31日华盛顿报道 根据能源信息管理局（EIA）的修订数据，这次产量的下降使得美国整体产量下降9万桶/日，标志着自5月份以来的首次全国性下降。1月份的产量为1187万桶/日。
在2018年底原油价格暴跌以及投资者要求减少支出的呼声中，钻探商们在1月份限制了钻探。从德克萨斯州西部的二叠纪盆地到墨西哥湾的管道容量不足也限制了生产。
马萨诸塞州温彻斯特市战略能源和经济研究部主席Michael Lynch说：“人们一直在等待产量的到来——他们可以得到更高的价格。这就是为什么存在大量已进行钻探但尚未完工的井。”
今年年初，二叠纪部分地区出现寒潮，导致产量减少，这也可能起到一定作用。

Texas oil production fell in January as pipeline bottlenecks prompted cut backs
The decline pushed overall U.S. production lower by 90,000 bopd, marking the first national drop since May, according to revised data from the Energy Information Administration. January production clocked in at 11.87 MMbopd.
Explorers curbed drilling in January, after crude prices collapsed at the end of 2018 and amid investor calls to reduce spending. A dearth of pipeline capacity from the Permian basin of West Texas to the Gulf of Mexico has also hemmed in production.
"People are holding off and waiting until the capacity comes in -- they can get a much better price," said Michael Lynch, president of Strategic Energy and Economic Research in Winchester, Massachusetts. "This is why you’ve seen a lot of the drilled but uncompleted wells."
A cold snap in parts of the Permian at the start of the year, which caused production to be curtailed, may also have played a part.
