據海上工程師網2022年7月20日報道，美國第3大石油公司康菲公司（大陸菲利普斯公司）首席執行官周二警告稱，原油短缺和價格波動迫在眉睫，理由是歐佩克用產能有限，且美國未來石油產量增幅放緩。

美國最大的獨立石油生產商康菲公司首席執行官瑞安·蘭斯在對石油組織休斯敦生產者論壇成員的講話中對未來的全球石油供應前景表示悲觀。就在幾天前，美國總統從沙特阿拉伯回國，未能就歐佩克+集團增加原油產量達成協議。

“最終，需求將回到疫情暴發前的水平”，蘭斯表示，同時對歐佩克缺乏額外產能和美國原油產量停滯持謹慎態度。“全球石油供應短缺即將到來”，蘭斯如是說。 

蘭斯說，隨著時間的推移，阿聯酋和沙特阿拉伯可能每天增加100萬或200萬桶石油，但“歐佩克+的其他國家正在苦苦掙扎”，包括尼日利亞、安哥拉等。

在截至2019年12月的三年中，美國石油日產量飆升了400萬桶，但現在增長速度已放緩。 蘭斯說：“美國今年的石油日產量增加將不足100萬桶…… 明年我們的產量增加可能會接近100萬桶。但我們已開始進入穩產期。”

他說，石油需求最終將超過疫情前的水平，需求高峰可能還要再過10到20年。蘭斯補充說，對經濟衰退的擔憂將導致市場進一步波動。 

他對能源聽眾表示：“如果你打算進入這個行業，就要為大量的波動做好準備。”“它會上升，也會下降，但不一定是這個順序?！?/p>

Oil Supply Crunch is Coming, ConocoPhillips CEO Says

ConocoPhillips' chief executive on Tuesday warned of looming crude oil shortages and price volatility, citing limited spare capacity among the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and slow U.S. output gains ahead.

Ryan Lance, head of the largest U.S. independent oil producer, offered a dour outlook on future supply in remarks to members of oil group the Houston Producers Forum. His comments came days after U.S. President returned from Saudi Arabia without success in securing an agreement for the OPEC+ group to boost production.

"Ultimately, demand will go back to pre-pandemic levels," Lance said while cautioning about OPEC's lack of additional capacity and a U.S. production plateau. "There is a supply crunch coming," Lance said.

The United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia could add 1 million or 2 million barrels per day (bpd) over time, but "the rest of the OPEC+ (alliance) is struggling," including Nigeria, Angola, he said.

U.S. oil production, which soared by 4 million barrels per day in the three years ended December 2019, is expanding more slowly. "The U.S. will grow shy of a million barrels a day this year ... and we'll probably grow close to another million barrels next year. But we start to kind of plateau," he added.

Oil demand ultimately will exceed pre-pandemic levels and peak demand is probably another 10 to 20 years out, he said. Concerns about recession will lead to further market volatility, Lance added.

"If you are going to be in the business, be prepared for a lot of volatility," he told the energy audience. "It's going to go up and it's going to go down, but not necessarily in that order."
