据钻机区网2019年8月11日休斯顿报道，美国大型独立石油和天然气公司美国先锋自然资源公司(Pioneer Natural Resources Co.)最近发布的收益报告显示，尽管该公司把今年资本项目的上限下调了1.5亿美元(约占4.5%)，但这并没有妨碍其在二叠盆地的产量增长计划。

资本削减包括把今年二叠纪盆地的钻井、完井和设备范围的上限削减1亿~2.8亿美元至30亿美元，把其中游设施和水基础设施支出削减5000万至2.5亿美元。通过这些调整，先锋自然资源公司把今年的总资本支出计划调整为30.5亿美元至32.5亿美元，并预计今年将有35亿美元的现金流到位。

先锋自然资源公司今年仍计划在二叠纪盆地平均运营21至23部水平钻机，其中包括在二叠纪盆地南部合资区的5部。这个项目今年预计将投产265口至290口生产井，去年为270口。今年计划的平均横向长度约为9800英尺，平均估计每口井最终采收率约为160万桶油当量。

这些计划预计今年二叠纪盆地每天将交付32万至33.5万桶油当量的产量，比2018年的产量水平平均每天增加20.2万至21.3万桶石油或增加12%至17%。

Pioneer's 2019 Permian Production Growth on Track

While Pioneer Natural Resources Co. is lowering the top end of its 2019 capital program by $150 million (about 4.5 percent), this shouldn’t impede its growth plans in the Permian Basin, according to its recent earnings release.

The capital reductions include trimming the top end of its 2019 Permian drilling, completions and facilities range by $100 million to $2.8- to $3.0 billion and lowering its midstream facilities and water infrastructure spending by $50 million to $250 million. With these adjustments, Pioneer is changing its total 2019 capital program to a range of $3.05- to $3.25 billion and expects it to be fully funded with 2019 forecasted cash flow of $3.5 billion.

Pioneer still plans to operate an average of 21 to 23 horizontal rigs in the Permian this year, including five rigs in the southern joint venture area. This program is expected to place 265 to 290 wells on production, compared to 270 wells last year. The average lateral length planned for 2019 is about 9,800 feet, with an average estimated ultimate recovery of approximately 1.6 million barrels of oil equivalent per well.

These plans are expected to deliver 2019 Permian production of 320 to 335 MBOE/D and 203 to 213 MBO/D, or 12 to 17 percent growth over 2018 production levels.
