据道琼斯11月7日消息，经济分析机构IHS Markit表示，美国页岩油公司将控制支出，把重点放在股东回报上，这可能会导致产量大幅下降。IHS发布的《2019-2021年石油市场展望》报告称，美国的石油总产量预计将在2020年增加44万桶/天，然后在2021年基本持平。随着油价下跌，资本市场融资渠道恶化，企业面临着投资者要求它们专注于资本回报的呼声。IHS Markit的拉乌尔?勒布朗表示:“从2018年创纪录的近200万桶/天的年增长率，到2021年基本没有增长，这很明显表明，页岩油生产商进入产量放缓的新时代。”

US Oil Output Growth to Slow as Firms Cut Back

U.S. shale-oil companies are set to rein in spending to focus on shareholder returns, potentially sparking a major output slowdown, according to economic analysis group IHS Markit. Total U.S. production is tipped to rise by 440,000 barrels per day in 2020 before essentially flattening out in 2021, the IHS oil-market outlook report for 2019-2021 says. Companies are facing investor calls to focus on return of capital as prices have fallen and access to capital-market financing has worsened. "Going from nearly two million barrels per day annual growth in 2018, an all-time global record, to essentially no growth by 2021 makes it pretty clear this is a new era of moderation for shale producers," said IHS Markit's Raoul LeBlanc.
