EIA报告称,美国石油产量不断增长,2022年天然气产量将增加9%

2022年,美国陆上主要原油产区伴生溶解天然气(或伴生天然气)年产量将增长9%,达到155亿英尺3 /天,这主要是由于原油产量增长8%。伴生天然气占二叠纪、巴肯、伊格尔福特、尼奥布拉拉和阿纳达科地区天然气总产量的三分之一以上,占美国天然气总产量的 14%。

伴生天然气是指在地质地层压力下溶解在原油中,并在原油上浮至地表压力释放后释放出来的天然气。

横跨德克萨斯州西部和新墨西哥州东南部部分地区的二叠纪地区原油产量的增加正在推动伴生天然气产量的增长。目前,美国五个主要原油产区中最大的二叠纪地区的石油产量比其他四个地区的总和还要多。2022年,二叠纪地区原油产量增加12%。二叠纪地区的伴生天然气产量全年增长了 15%,达到平均 10.2 ft 3 /d,占美国伴生天然气总产量的 56%。近年来,新的管道输送能力的增加促进了相关天然气产量的增长。

与非伴生气相比,伴生气含有较高比例的天然气工厂液体(NGPL),例如乙烷、丙烷、正丁烷、异丁烷和天然汽油。NGPL 可用作供暖和运输的燃料以及生产塑料、树脂和其他石化产品的原料。与相关天然气产量一样,NGPL 产量已连续创下多项年度记录,到 2022 年将增至年均 590 万桶/日。德克萨斯内陆地区(包括二叠纪地区的大部分地区)占美国乙烷总产量的 53%,根据我们《石油供应月报》的数据,2022 年占 NGPL 总产量的 49%,高于 2021 年乙烷产量的 51% 和 NGPL 产量的 46%。

EIA reports that growing US oil production increased natural gas production by 9% in 2022

Published by , Deputy Editor
Oilfield Technology,


In 2022, annual production of associated-dissolved natural gas (or associated natural gas) increased 9% to 15.5 billion ft3/d in the major US onshore crude oil-producing regions, mostly due to an 8% increase in crude oil production. Associated natural gas accounted for more than a third of total natural gas production in the Permian, Bakken, Eagle Ford, Niobrara, and Anadarko regions and 14% of all US natural gas production.

Associated natural gas refers to natural gas that is dissolved in crude oil under the pressure of a geologic formation and is then released when the pressure on the crude oil is relieved by bringing it to the surface.

Increasing crude oil production in the Permian region, which spans parts of western Texas and south-eastern New Mexico, is driving the growth in associated natural gas production. Currently more oil is produced in the Permian region, the largest of the five major US crude oil-producing regions, than in the other four regions combined. In 2022, production of crude oil increased in the Permian region by 12%. Associated natural gas production increased by 15% in the Permian region to average 10.2 ft3/d for the year, and it accounted for 56% of all US associated natural gas production. In recent years, new pipeline takeaway capacity additions have facilitated associated natural gas production growth.

Associated natural gas contains higher ratios of natural gas plant liquids (NGPLs) such as ethane, propane, normal butane, isobutane, and natural gasoline than non-associated natural gas. NGPLs are used as fuel for heating and transportation and as feedstocks to produce plastics, resins, and other petrochemicals. Like associated natural gas production, NGPL production has set several consecutive annual records, rising to an annual average of 5.9 million bpd in 2022. The Texas Inland region, which includes much of the Permian region, accounted for 53% of total US ethane production and 49% of total NGPL production in 2022, up from 51% of ethane production and 46% of NGPL production in 2021, according to our Petroleum Supply Monthly.
