低油價(jià)并未影響巴西的石油繁榮

據(jù)油價(jià)網(wǎng)9月21日?qǐng)?bào)道，巴西能源領(lǐng)域的活動(dòng)持續(xù)升溫。今年1月，這個(gè)拉丁美洲最大的經(jīng)濟(jì)體見(jiàn)證了其至關(guān)重要的石油工業(yè)實(shí)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)新的里程碑，日均開(kāi)采創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的316.8萬(wàn)桶原油。新冠疫情和今年3月的油價(jià)暴跌并沒(méi)有減緩這個(gè)拉丁美洲最大經(jīng)濟(jì)體的石油繁榮。為了應(yīng)對(duì)疫情和油價(jià)暴跌，巴西國(guó)家石油公司在2020年3月將計(jì)劃的年度開(kāi)支削減了29%，并關(guān)閉了淺水平臺(tái)。這并沒(méi)有妨礙產(chǎn)量的增長(zhǎng)。巴西國(guó)家石油公司今年第二季度的商業(yè)石油日產(chǎn)量同比增長(zhǎng)4.1%，達(dá)到250萬(wàn)桶。這主要是由國(guó)家石油公司在鹽下油田的大規(guī)模擴(kuò)建推動(dòng)的，這些油田的日產(chǎn)量增加了近31%，達(dá)到150萬(wàn)桶。有跡象表明，即使新冠疫情的持續(xù)影響、石油需求疲軟和價(jià)格走弱，也不會(huì)阻止巴西國(guó)家石油公司石油產(chǎn)量的不斷增長(zhǎng)。隨著疫情的威脅減弱，巴西國(guó)家石油公司正在加強(qiáng)其海上作業(yè)活動(dòng)，特別是在高產(chǎn)的鹽下油田。巴西國(guó)家石油公司計(jì)劃本月重啟新油井的連接、進(jìn)行維護(hù)并調(diào)試新油井。這將使該國(guó)家石油公司和巴西的碳?xì)浠衔锂a(chǎn)量均獲得強(qiáng)勁增長(zhǎng)。

為了遏制新冠疫情的蔓延，巴西采取了暫停非必要業(yè)務(wù)的措施，并因油價(jià)暴跌而關(guān)閉非經(jīng)濟(jì)石油生產(chǎn)，但這些措施對(duì)巴西的碳?xì)浠衔锂a(chǎn)量幾乎沒(méi)有影響。根據(jù)國(guó)家石油機(jī)構(gòu)(ANP -葡萄牙語(yǔ)縮寫(xiě))的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，巴西今年8月的油氣日均產(chǎn)量略高于390萬(wàn)桶石油當(dāng)量，較7月高出近1%，較去年同期高出2.6%。

桑托斯（Santos）和坎波斯（Campos）盆地是巴西大部分石油和天然氣的產(chǎn)地，7月份油氣產(chǎn)量分別占68%和近26%。巴西國(guó)家石油公司是主要的生產(chǎn)商，8月份巴西近95%的石油產(chǎn)量來(lái)自該公司。

Low Oil Prices Haven’t Derailed Brazil’s Offshore Boom

Activity in Brazil’s energy patch keeps ratcheting ever higher. During January 2020, Latin America’s largest economy saw its all-important petroleum industry achieve a new milestone pumping on average a record 3.168 million barrels of crude daily. The COVID-19 pandemic and March 2020 oil price collapse did little to slow the oil boom underway in Latin America’s largest economy. Brazil’s national oil company Petrobras, in March 2020, slashed planned annual spending by 29% and shuttered its shallow water platforms in response to the pandemic and oil price collapse. This did little to stymie production growth. Petrobras’s second quarter 2020 commercial oil output grew 4.1% year over year to almost 2.5 million barrels daily. That was driven primarily by the significant expansion of the national oil company’s presence in the pre-salt fields, where production expanded almost 31% to 1.5 million barrels daily. There are signs that even the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, softer oil demand and weaker prices will not deter Petrobras’ growing petroleum production. Petrobras is in the process of ramping up activities at its offshore operations, notably in the prolific pre-salt fields, as the threat of the pandemic declines. Brazil’s national oil company plans to recommence connecting new wells, conducting maintenance and commissioning new operations this month. That will give both the national oil company’s and Brazil’s hydrocarbon output a solid lift.

The measures taken to curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic by suspending non-essential operations, as well as the shuttering of non-economic oil production because of the price crash, have had little impact on Brazil’s hydrocarbon output. Data from the National Petroleum Agency (ANP – Portuguese acronym) shows Brazil’s August 2020 oil and natural gas production averaged just over 3.9 million barrels of oil equivalent daily, almost 1% greater than July and 2.6% higher than the same period a year earlier.

It is the Santos and Campos Basins which are responsible for producing most of Brazil’s petroleum and natural gas, pumping 68% and almost 26% respectively of July’s hydrocarbon output. Petrobras is the key producer, pumping almost 95% of Brazil’s total August oil output.
