據(jù)油氣新聞6月18日消息稱，康菲石油公司的一位發(fā)言人周二表示，該公司將恢復部分因疫情導致燃料需求下降而關閉的阿拉斯加生產(chǎn)。

該公司在該州的日產(chǎn)量削減了10萬桶，這是該公司4月宣布的一系列減產(chǎn)舉措的一部分，以應對石油消費下滑，當時美國油價一度跌至每桶40美元。

康菲石油公司旗下子公司康菲石油阿拉斯加公司的發(fā)言人Natalie Lowman說，阿拉斯加州的減產(chǎn)措施將于7月份取消。

Lowman說，石油減產(chǎn)始于五月下旬。隨著價格回升，康菲石油公司正在重新開始生產(chǎn)。該公司是該州最大的石油生產(chǎn)商之一，2019年平均產(chǎn)量為21.7萬桶/天。

根據(jù)阿拉斯加稅務局的數(shù)據(jù)，從2020年6月1日至14日，阿拉斯加北坡的平均產(chǎn)量為38.84萬桶/天，而低于2019年12月的平均產(chǎn)量51萬桶/天。

Lowman補充說，康菲公司補充說，康菲石油今年早些時候突然停止了對未來開發(fā)和勘探鉆井的決定，目前尚未做出決定。

她說:“目前，我們不打算在2020年的剩余時間里恢復北坡的鉆探活動。”

ConocoPhillips to restart idled Alaskan production

ConocoPhillips will resume some of its Alaskan production shut in due to falling fuel demand stemming from the coronavirus pandemic, a spokeswoman said on Tuesday.

The company cut output in the state by 100,000 barrels per day (bpd), part of a broader series of cuts announced in April in response to the slump in consumption that took U.S. prices briefly to negative-$40 a barrel.

The curtailments in Alaska will be lifted for July, Natalie Lowman, spokeswoman for ConocoPhillips Alaska Inc, a division of ConocoPhillips, said.

The cuts started in late May, Lowman said. Conoco is restarting production as prices have recovered. The company is one of the state’s largest oil producers, averaging 217,000 bpd in output in 2019.

According to the Alaska Department of Revenue, June 2020 North Slope production through June 14 averaged 388,400 bpd, down from an average of 510,000 bpd in December 2019.

Conoco’s decisions on future development and exploration drilling, stopped abruptly earlier this year, are yet to be made, Lowman added.

“At this time, we do not intend to resume drilling activity at our North Slope operations for the remainder of 2020,” she said.
