據管道&天然氣雜志網5月23日報道，根據美國能源信息署（EIA）的數據顯示，與2021年相比，2022年美國原油產量增長了5.6%，即每天60萬桶，達到日均1190萬桶。EIA的月度原油和天然氣產量報告得出結論，二疊紀盆地橫跨的得克薩斯州和新墨西哥州，這兩個州對2022年美國原油產量的增長貢獻最大。

位于得克薩斯州西部和新墨西哥州東部邊界的一個多產的石油盆地——二疊紀盆地，在這兩個州的石油產量中處于領先地位。2022年，新墨西哥州的原油產量連續第三年增長超過美國其他任何州。新墨西哥州的日產量增長30萬桶，達到160萬桶，達到該州最高水平。

在2022年石油日產量達到或超過10萬桶的8個州中，有5個州的產量比2021年有所增加，3個州有所下降。加利福尼亞州石油產量連續第八年下降，阿拉斯加州產量連續第五年下降。北達科他州是過去十年石油產量增長領先的州之一，2022年產量連續第三年下降。

鉆探活動增加導致更多的石油產量增長，EIA跟蹤了貝克休斯報告的活躍鉆機數量。根據這些數據，2022年，新墨西哥州的陸地鉆機數量增加8臺，得克薩斯州增加100臺，其他所有州加起來增加85臺。2023年5月的第一周，得克薩斯州的陸地鉆機數量減少8臺，新墨西哥州增加5臺。

2023年1月和2月，美國原油產量繼續同比平均增長120萬桶/天。EIA預測，美國原油產量將在2023年和2024年繼續增加。

EIA在其5月份的短期能源展望報告中預測，2023年美國原油總產量將攀升至1250萬桶/天，2024年將攀升至1270萬桶/天。

EIA: Texas, New Mexico Led US Crude Oil Production Last Year

U.S. crude oil production grew 5.6%, or 0.6 million bpd, in 2022 compared with 2021, averaging 11.9 million bpd, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). The two states the Permian Basin spans—Texas and New Mexico—contributed the most growth to U.S. crude oil production in 2022, the EIA’s Monthly Crude Oil and Natural Gas Production report concluded.

The Permian Basin, a productive oil basin located on the border of West Texas and eastern New Mexico, leads in oil production for these two states. In 2022, for the third consecutive year, crude oil production grew more in New Mexico than in any other U.S. state. New Mexico production grew by 0.3 million bpd to 1.6 million bpd, a record for the state.

Crude oil production in the rest of the United States grew by 0.6% (33,000 bpd). Of the eight remaining states with 0.1 million bpd or more of oil production in 2022, production increased from 2021 in five states and decreased in three states. Production in California decreased for the eighth consecutive year, and production in Alaska decreased for the fifth consecutive year. In North Dakota, which had been one of the leading states in oil production growth in the past decade, production declined for the third consecutive year in 2022.

More drilling activity leads to more oil production growth, and the EIA follows the number of active drilling rigs reported by Baker Hughes. based on this data, the number of land rigs increased by 8 in New Mexico, by 100 in Texas, and by 85 in all other states combined in 2022. In 2023, through the first week of May, the number of land rigs decreased in Texas by 8 and increased in New Mexico by 5.

U.S. crude oil production continued to grow year over year by an average 1.2 million b/d in January and February 2023. The EIA forecasts that U.S. crude oil production will continue to increase in 2023 and 2024.

In its May Short-Term Energy Outlook report, the EIA forecasts that total U.S. crude oil production will climb to 12.5 million bpd in 2023 and to 12.7 million bpd in 2024.
