据海事新闻网8月17日消息称，在2014年至2018年的五年时间里，俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司(Gazprom)的产量增幅居全球勘探和生产(E&P)公司之首。

能源研究公司雷斯塔能源表示，紧随其后的是中国石油天然气股份有限公司和美国页岩气公司EQT公司，这两家公司分别排名第二和第三。

报告称，陆上资源——无论是常规资源还是非常规资源——是产量增长的主要驱动力。

雷斯塔上游研究主管Espen Erlingsen表示：“俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司是产量增长的明显领导者，也是过去五年中唯一日产量增幅超过100万桶的公司。增长主要来自传统资源，天然气是这一惊人发展的关键因素。”

产量增长是勘探开发公司的一项关键业绩指标。这一指标通常被上游企业用来向投资者证明，它们的投资组合正准备实现增长，而不是生产停滞不前。

紧随俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司之后的是中国石油天然气股份有限公司，该公司总石油当量增长约73万桶，这也得益于传统陆上天然气生产以及页岩气的迅猛增长。

排名第三的公司是专注于页岩气的EQT，该公司是美国最大的天然气生产商，拥有近60万桶的产量增长，过去5年增长了340%。

Erlingsen表示：“在俄罗斯和中国的国有巨头背后，大型企业和页岩气企业是过去5年增长最快的一些企业。雷斯塔能源大型企业和页岩气企业的产量将继续增长。”

在这些大型企业中，BP公布了自2014年以来最大的产量增长，在过去五年中，该公司的总产量增长了近50万桶。

产量的增长在很大程度上要归功于该公司在中东的业务，其中伊拉克鲁迈拉油田和北美地区的产量大幅增加。其中页岩和美国深水油田是推动产量变化的主要因素。

BP、壳牌、道达尔、雪佛龙和埃尼集团等五大石油巨头，已进入雷斯塔能源的15家增长最快的勘探开发企业名单。埃克森美孚和康菲石油公司不在名单之列。

Gazprom Lead Oil and Gas Growth Worldwide

Russian giant Gazprom saw the most production growth among world’s exploration and production (E&P) companies during the five-year span from 2014 through 2018.

It’s followed by Chinese player PetroChina Company Limited and U.S. shale company EQT Corporation ranking second and third, respectively, said energy research firm Rystad Energy.

Onshore resources – whether conventional or unconventional – are a major driver of growth, it said.

“Gazprom, the clear leader in production growth, is the only company with a total growth of more than 1 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) over the last five years,” said Espen Erlingsen, Rystad’s head of upstream research. “The growth comes primarily from conventional assets, with gas being the key contributor to the spectacular development.”

Production growth is a key performance indicator for E&P companies. This metric is commonly used by upstream players to demonstrate to investors that their portfolios are poised for growth as opposed to stagnated production.

Runner-up to Gazprom is PetroChina, with a total growth of around 730,000 boepd, also driven by conventional onshore gas production as well as splashes of shale gas growth.

The third company to make the podium is shale-focused EQT, the largest producer of natural gas in the US, boasting equity production growth of close to 600,000 boepd, or 340% growth over the last five years.

“Behind the state behemoths in Russia and China, majors and shale companies are some of the fastest-growing companies over the last five years. Rystad Energy expects this rise in output among the majors and shale companies to continue,” Erlingsen said.

Among the majors, BP posted the largest production increase since 2014, seeing total production grow almost 500,000 boepd in the last five years.

Much of the production uptick can be credited with the company’s operations in the Middle East, with significant production additions from the Rumaila field in Iraq, and in North America, where shale and US deepwater are driving most of the changes.

Five of the majors – BP, Shell, Total, Chevron and Eni – have made Rystad Energy’s list of the 15 fastest-growing E&P companies. Absent from the list are ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips.
