内格尔表示，独立生产商仍然是美国各地生产社区的支柱，支撑着就业和经济安全，同时她也强调了企业在进行资本配置决策时保持稳定的重要性。“对于美国的独立生产商来说，这是一个充满挑战的价格环境，”她说。“无论在哪个产区，他们在进行资本配置决策时都渴望稳定。”

Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPPA) said U.S. independent oil and natural gas producers continue to play a central role in domestic energy supply and global markets, even as they navigate a challenging price environment.
“America’s independent oil and natural gas producers ushered in the shale revolution and have a proven record of delivering energy securely and competitively,” said IPAA President and CEO Edith Naegele. “America's independent producers are committed to producing the energy that powers American lives and competitiveness.”
Naegele said independent producers remain the backbone of producing communities across the U.S., supporting jobs and economic security, while emphasizing the importance of stability as companies make capital allocation decisions. “This is a challenging price environment for America’s independent producers,” she said. “No matter the basin, they desire stability as they make capital allocation decisions.”
She added that as global markets evolve and production opportunities emerge worldwide, IPAA member companies will continue to evaluate prospects to produce oil and natural gas safely and securely.
