据俄罗斯媒体4月24日休斯敦报道,根据美国石油学会23日发表的2015年第一季度完井报告,美国第一季度估计总的油气井完井数比一年前水平下降了8%。
美国石油学会统计部门主管H·阿拉法说:“我们作为一个全球能源超级大国的增长一直是美国能源安全的一个游戏改变者,我们为成千上万的美国人创造了就业机会并向美国政府上交了更多的收入。如果过时的能源政策有所阻碍,我们无法预测这种增长是否会持续。减少不必要的法规以及允许石油和天然气自由贸易将使美国的生产商能够在目前低价格环境下在全球市场进行有效竞争。”
API在报告中说,美国今年第一季度开发油井完井数估计比去年同期下降了7%,而开发气井完井数同比下降了18%。

Estimated total U.S. oil and natural gas well completions decreased by 8 percent in the first quarter of 2015 compared to year-ago levels, according to API's 2015 Quarterly Well Completion Report, First Quarter.
“Our growth as a global energy superpower has been a game-changer for U.S. energy security, creating hundreds of thousands of American jobs and sending more revenues to our government,” said Hazem Arafa, director of API's statistics department. “We can’t expect that growth to continue if our own outdated energy polices stand in the way. Reducing unnecessary regulations and allowing free trade for oil and natural gas will enable U.S. producers to compete effectively in the global market under a low-price environment.”
Estimated development oil well completions in 2015 first quarter decreased 7 percent compared to 2014 first quarter estimates. Estimated development gas completions in 2015 first quarter decreased 18 percent compared to 2014 first quarter estimates.
