美国钻井等项目可能会因政府停工而延误

据普氏能源资讯华盛顿、纽约消息，美国能源工业集团上周五表示，美国政府部分关闭增加了美国能源计划延迟的可能性，如总统唐纳德特朗普提出的海上钻探计划，以及允许在夏季的几个月里增加汽油中乙醇含量等。

预计美国内政部将在1月初公布其备受期待的2019年至2024年海上石油和天然气钻探计划。

特朗普政府将扩大近海钻探领域，并增加租赁销售，这是其能源主导议程的一部分，目的是提高国内使用以及出口的化石燃料产量，不过，业内人士对几项租赁销售的兴趣不大，但政府表示，预计未来市场会有更多的兴趣。

Shutdown risks delays to U.S. drilling, ethanol, wind initiatives

The partial government shutdown is increasing the chances of delays in U.S. energy initiatives from the release of President Donald Trump’s proposed offshore drilling plan to allowing higher levels of ethanol in gasoline during summer months, energy industry groups said on Friday.

The U.S. Department of Interior had been expected to release its highly anticipated 2019 to 2024 offshore oil and gas drilling plan in early January.

The Trump administration has made opening up greater areas to offshore drilling, and holding more frequent lease sales, part of its energy dominance agenda to boost fossil fuel output for both domestic use and exports. Industry interest in several lease sales has been tepid, but the administration has said more interest is expected in the future.
