（彭博社）“Matador Resources Co. 在 2024 年前三个月的石油产量超出预期，而大多数美国生产商都承诺今年产量增长持平或温和。
这家总部位于达拉斯的公司在周二的收益报告中表示，斗牛士还计划达到全年产量预期的上限。该公司的产量意外源于新墨西哥州的油井表现好于预期，新墨西哥州位于该州横跨德克萨斯州的二叠纪盆地的一部分。
美国页岩油生产商 2023 年的产量增长令几乎所有人都感到惊讶，而且该国现在的石油产量比以往任何时候都多，使其成为全球最大的生产国。在欧佩克+联盟削减供应的情况下，这有助于控制油价。
该公司表示，Matador 年初产量超出预期 2%，但其钻探费用却低于预期。该公司表示，2024 年第一季度，Matador 的平均石油产量为 84,777 桶/日，超过其指导值 83,500 桶/日。
声明称，“目前预计 2024 年全年产量将达到我们之前宣布的平均石油产量指导值的上限，即每天 91,000 桶至 95,000 桶”。
(Bloomberg) – Matador Resources Co. pumped more oil than expected in the first three months of 2024 at a time when most U.S. producers have pledged flat to moderate production growth this year.
Matador also plans to hit the high end of its full-year output expectations, the Dallas-based company said in its earnings report Tuesday. The company’s production surprise comes on the back of better-than-expected well performance in New Mexico, in the part of the state’s Permian basin that straddles Texas.
U.S. shale producers surprised nearly everyone to the upside with their production in 2023, and the nation now pumps more oil than ever — making it the top producer globally. That’s helped to keep oil prices in check amid supply cuts from the OPEC+ alliance.
Matador’s 2% production over-performance to start the year was done while spending less money on drilling than projected, the company said. During the first quarter of 2024, Matador’s average oil production of 84,777 bpd beat its guidance of 83,500 bpd, the company said.
“We now expect full-year production for 2024 at the high end of our previously announced average production guidance for oil of 91,000 to 95,000 bopd,” the statement said.
