（彭博社）“随着德克萨斯州二叠纪盆地的产量飙升至历史新高，7 月份美国原油产量达到有记录以来的第二高水平。根据能源情报署的数据，该国的产量升至 12.991 MMbpd，这是自 2019 年 11 月 13 MMbpd 峰值以来的最高水平。

大部分收益来自德克萨斯州，该州的石油钻探产量达到创纪录的 5.63 MMbpd。
即使运营商减少了活动，产量仍出现增长。贝克休斯公司周五公布的数据显示，自 11 月底以来，美国寻找石油的钻井平台数量已减少 20%，本周总数减少 5 座，至 502 座。
美国产量的增加有助于填补近几个月沙特阿拉伯和俄罗斯减产造成的全球市场空白，该国的出口量通常超过 4 百万桶/日。但到目前为止，这还不足以缓解原油价格，因为供应紧张与全球需求不断增长相结合，国内供应减少可能开始减缓海外发货。
(Bloomberg) – U.S. crude oil production reached the second-highest level on record in July as output from Texas’s Permian basin soared to an all-time high. The nation’s production rose to 12.991 MMbpd, the highest since a peak of 13 MMbpd in November 2019, according to data from the Energy Information Administration.

Most of the gain came from Texas, where oil drillers produced a record 5.63 MMbpd.
The output growth comes even as operators dial back activity. The number of rigs searching for oil in the U.S. has contracted by 20% since late November, with the total falling by five this week to 502, according to data released Friday by Baker Hughes Co.
The increased production from the U.S. had helped fill a void in global markets left by output cuts from Saudi Arabia and Russia in recent months, with the country routinely exporting more than 4 MMbpd. But so far it hasn’t been enough to ease crude prices as the constrained supply picture meets with rising global demand, and dwindling supplies at home may start to slow shipments abroad.
