美国国内水力压裂作业实现实质性增长
据全球能源新闻网2019年7月28日休斯顿报道,今年6月份,美国国内各地的水力压裂作业都实现了实质性的增长。此前,从2月到5月,美国国内水力压裂作业在经历了季节性冬季下降以后仍处于恢复模式。
挪威雷斯塔能源公司(Rystad Energy)表示,美国6月份水力压裂作业的反弹是一个受欢迎的信号,这表明美国水力压裂技术有望满怀信心地进入今年下半年。
根据挪威这个能源研究和商业智能公司6月份的初步估计,美国6月份平均每天完成了47口井的水力压裂作业,比今年春季几个月平均每天45口井增加了两口。
雷斯塔能源公司表示,6月份的压裂速度仍比去年的峰值水平低了大约7%。去年5月,美国国内水力压裂作业达到峰值,每天50口井,创历史新高。
如果这一趋势持续下去,那么在今年上半年之前缩小这一差距将使美国今年上半年水力压裂作业量打破2018年5月创下的最高纪录。

US Fracking Rate Goes Up
Fracking operations across the US have realized a material uptick in June this year after an essentially flat trend from February to May, when activity was still in recovery mode after a seasonal winter dip.
According to Rystad Energy, the June rebound is a welcome signal that positions US fracking to enter the second half of 2019 with gusto.
According to the preliminary estimate for June by the energy research and business intelligence company, fracking in the US came in at 47 wells per day, an increase by two daily wells from an average of 45 wells per day over the spring months.
The June frac rate is still approximately 7% behind the peak level observed last year, when frac operations peaked in May 2018 at 50 wells per day, an all-time high, it said.
Closing this gap ahead of the start of 2H 2019 – should the trend persist – will position US fracking in 2H2019 to beat the previously set record from May 2018.
