中國(guó)石化新聞網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)天然氣加工新聞網(wǎng)3月29日?qǐng)?bào)道，2022年，美國(guó)天然氣產(chǎn)量增長(zhǎng)了4%(即49億立方英尺/天)，日均產(chǎn)量為1190億立方英尺。2022年，阿巴拉契亞、二疊紀(jì)和海恩斯維爾三個(gè)地區(qū)占美國(guó)總產(chǎn)量的60%，與2021年的比例相似。
收集最全面的美國(guó)天然氣產(chǎn)量指標(biāo)是天然氣總開(kāi)采量。鉆井生產(chǎn)率報(bào)告衡量了陸上選定地區(qū)的天然氣總開(kāi)采量。
2022年，美國(guó)東北部的阿巴拉契亞地區(qū)生產(chǎn)的天然氣比美國(guó)任何其他地區(qū)都多，占美國(guó)天然氣總開(kāi)采量的29%（即346億立方英尺/天）。盡管阿巴拉契亞仍然是美國(guó)天然氣產(chǎn)量最高的地區(qū)，但由于沒(méi)有足夠的管道輸送能力來(lái)輸送更多的天然氣，其產(chǎn)量增長(zhǎng)一直在放緩。2022年，東北部沒(méi)有新增的主要管道輸送量。2021年，阿巴拉契亞地區(qū)天然氣總開(kāi)采量增長(zhǎng)了14億立方英尺/天。2022年，增長(zhǎng)僅為1億立方英尺/天，低于2020年，當(dāng)時(shí)疫情和隨后的封控措施限制了產(chǎn)量增長(zhǎng)。
得克薩斯州西部和新墨西哥州的二疊紀(jì)地區(qū)是美國(guó)第二大天然氣生產(chǎn)地區(qū)，占美國(guó)總產(chǎn)量的18%。2022年，二疊紀(jì)的天然氣開(kāi)采總量增加26億立方英尺/天，達(dá)日均210億立方英尺。
與其他兩個(gè)地區(qū)不同，二疊紀(jì)地區(qū)的天然氣產(chǎn)量增長(zhǎng)主要是石油定向鉆井的結(jié)果，因?yàn)槭蜕a(chǎn)過(guò)程中產(chǎn)生了伴生氣。盡管2022年的平均原油價(jià)格與往年相比有所下降，但得克薩斯中質(zhì)原油價(jià)格仍然很高，足以支持石油導(dǎo)向的鉆井活動(dòng)，尤其是在二疊紀(jì)地區(qū)。根據(jù)達(dá)拉斯聯(lián)邦能源局的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查數(shù)據(jù)顯示，2022年二疊紀(jì)的平均盈虧平衡價(jià)格在每桶50至54美元之間。
2022年路易斯安那州和得克薩斯州海恩斯維爾地區(qū)的天然氣總開(kāi)采量增長(zhǎng)20億立方英尺/天，達(dá)到153億立方英尺/天，占美國(guó)天然氣總開(kāi)采量的13%。海恩斯維爾地區(qū)是運(yùn)營(yíng)商鉆探天然氣的戰(zhàn)略要地，因?yàn)樵摰貐^(qū)靠近墨西哥灣沿岸，那里液化天然氣出口終端和工業(yè)設(shè)施的需求一直在增長(zhǎng)。2022年，得克薩斯州鷹福特地區(qū)的天然氣總開(kāi)采量增加9億立方英尺/天(即18%)，這是自2019年以來(lái)首次出現(xiàn)增長(zhǎng)。

U.S. natural gas production grew by 4% in 2022
U.S. natural gas production grew by 4% (4.9 billion cubic feet per day [Bcf/d]) in 2022, averaging 119 Bcf/d. Three regions—Appalachia, Permian, and Haynesville—accounted for 60% of all U.S. production in 2022, similar to the proportion in 2021.
The most comprehensive measure of U.S. natural gas production that we collect is gross natural gas withdrawals. Our Drilling Productivity Report measures gross natural gas withdrawals in selected onshore regions.
In 2022, the Appalachia region in the Northeast produced more natural gas than any other U.S. region, accounting for 29% of U.S. gross natural gas withdrawals (or 34.6 Bcf/d). Even as Appalachia remained the most prolific U.S. natural gas-producing region, its production growth has been slowing because sufficient pipeline takeaway capacity is not available to transport more natural gas. No new major pipeline capacity additions from the Northeast came online in 2022. In 2021, gross natural gas withdrawals in the Appalachia region had grown by 1.4 Bcf/d. In 2022, growth was just 0.1 Bcf/d, less than in 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent mitigation efforts limited production growth.
The Permian region in western Texas and New Mexico is the second-largest U.S. natural gas producing region, accounting for 18% of U.S. production. In 2022, gross natural gas withdrawals rose by 2.6 Bcf/d in the Permian, averaging 21.0 Bcf/d.
Unlike the other two regions, natural gas production growth in the Permian region is primarily the result of oil-directed drilling because of the associated gas produced during oil production. Despite lower average crude oil prices in 2022 compared with previous years, West Texas Intermediate crude oil prices remained high enough to support oil-directed drilling activity, especially in the Permian region. The average breakeven price in the Permian during 2022 ranged from $50 per barrel (b) to $54/b, according to data from a Dallas Fed Energy survey.
Gross natural gas withdrawals in the Haynesville region in Louisiana and Texas grew by 2.0 Bcf/d in 2022 to 15.3 Bcf/d, or 13% of U.S. gross natural gas withdrawals. The Haynesville region is a strategic location for operators to drill for natural gas because of its proximity to the Gulf Coast, where demand from liquefied natural gas export terminals and industrial facilities has been growing. Gross natural gas withdrawals in the Eagle Ford region in Texas rose by 0.9 Bcf/d (18%) in 2022, the first year it had increased since 2019.
