据路透社休斯顿报道，美国钻井监管机构表示，由于大多数石油公司正在重新配置设备以恢复生产，美国墨西哥湾超过一半的原油产量在周二遭遇巴里飓风后仍处于脱机状态。

美国安全与环境监督局（BSEE）表示，每天110万桶石油（占该地区石油总量的58%），以及每天14亿立方英尺天然气产量仍然处于关闭状态。

BSEE还表示，171个生产平台（即总数量的26%）尚未恢复运营，低于周一的267个生产平台。

自7月10号以来，巴里飓风造成了780万桶石油的削减，也就是美国每日石油产量的近三分之二，目前，巴里已成为后热带气旋，并于周二在密苏里州东部上空移动。

知情人士称，菲利普斯66继续重启其在路易斯安那州日产量为253600桶的Alliance炼油厂。由于受到洪水的威胁，该工厂于上周五根据强制疏散令关闭。

与此同时，Refinitiv的数据显示，由于巴里飓风的原因，美国48个州的天然气产量自7月11日触及878亿立方英尺/天的7周低点以来每天都在增长，与7月5日911亿立方英尺/天的历史最高值相比，周一上升到883亿立方英尺/天。

随着几个新终端的设备开始使用，预计美国LNG出口终端的天然气流量将从7月11日51亿立方英尺/天的一个月低点上升到周二的近创纪录的62亿立方英尺/天。

据Refinitiv的数据显示，大部分LNG的减产是由于切尼尔能源公司位于路易斯安那州的Sabine Pass出口终端，该终端在7月11日降到了13周以来的最低水平29亿立方英尺/天，预计周二Sabine Pass的天然气流量将达到33亿立方英尺/天。

U.S. offshore oil production remains cut by 58%: U.S. government

More than half the daily crude production in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico remained offline on Tuesday in the wake of Hurricane Barry, the U.S. drilling regulator said, as most oil companies were re-staffing facilities to resume production.

Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) said 1.1 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil, or 58% of the region’s total, and 1.4 billion cubic feet per day (cfd) of natural gas output remained shut.

BSEE also said 171 production platforms, or 26%, have not resumed operating, down from 267 platforms on Monday.

Since July 10, 7.8 million barrels of oil, or nearly two-thirds of the United States daily oil production, has been lost from Barry, which has become a post-tropical cyclone and was moving over eastern Missouri on Tuesday.

Phillips 66 continued to restart its 253,600 bpd Alliance, Louisiana, refinery, said people familiar with the matter. The plant was shut on Friday under a mandatory evacuation order due to the threat of flooding.

Natural gas output in the Lower 48 states, meanwhile, has increased every day since touching a seven-week low of 87.8 billion cfd on July 11 because of Barry, rising to 88.3 billion cfd on Monday, according to data provider Refinitiv. That compares with an all-time high of 91.1 billion cfd on July 5.

The amount of gas flowing to the nation’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminals was expected to rise from a one-month low of 5.1 billion cfd on July 11 to a near record high 6.2 billion cfd on Tuesday as units at several new terminals start to enter service.

Most of the LNG reduction was at Cheniere Energy Inc’s Sabine Pass export terminal in Louisiana, which fell to a 13-week low of 2.9 billion cfd on July 11. The amount of gas expected to flow to Sabine was up to 3.3 billion cfd on Tuesday, according to Refinitiv.
