（彭博社）“随着创纪录的油田通货膨胀开始减弱，德文能源公司预计明年将减少支出来维持石油和天然气生产。首席执行官 Rick Muncrief 周一在接受彭博电视台采访时表示，钻井平台和油井内部用钢材的成本最近有所下降。

尽管如此，紧张的劳动力市场状况仍然是增长的障碍。
“我们正在以一种非常深思熟虑、积极主动的方式在这些层面上解决劳工问题，”蒙克里夫在俄克拉荷马城举行的美国能源安全峰会间隙表示。“任何活动的增加都会产生一些问题。”
花旗集团上周向投资者发布的一份报告显示，自 2021 年以来油田成本上涨 50% 后，西德克萨斯州和新墨西哥州的二叠纪盆地预计明年平均油井成本将下降 9%。
(Bloomberg) – Devon Energy Corp. expects to spend less next year to sustain oil and natural gas production as record oil field inflation begins to abate. Costs for drilling rigs and steel used to line the inside of oil wells have come down recently, Chief Executive Officer Rick Muncrief said during an interview with Bloomberg Television on Monday.

Still, tight labor-market conditions remain an impediment to growth.
“We are addressing the labor in a very thoughtful, proactive way at these levels,” Muncrief said on the sidelines of the American Energy Security Summit in Oklahoma City. “Any increase in activity becomes somewhat problematic.”
After a 50% hike in oil field costs since 2021, the Permian basin of West Texas and New Mexico is expected to see average well costs shrink by 9% next year, according to a Citigroup note to investors last week.
