???? 據(jù)世界石油網(wǎng)站2月24日報道 西方石油公司在二疊紀盆地的石油產(chǎn)量下降，使得該公司在通往墨西哥灣海岸的管道上有太多閑置產(chǎn)能，這一問題將導致今年的中游損失高達7.5億美元。

????西方石油周二表示，今年二疊紀石油總產(chǎn)量預計約為48.5萬桶油當量/日，遠低于其承諾的80萬桶管道空間，這意味著該公司需要在其他地方購買余額，從而增加了成本。

????西方石油長期以來持有的管道空間超過了二疊紀時期的需求，希望其頁巖業(yè)務最終能夠發(fā)展到足以利用它的規(guī)模。但去年的油價暴跌，以及最近德克薩斯州的極地寒流，導致該公司削減投資和生產(chǎn)，以期優(yōu)先考慮近期現(xiàn)金流以減少債務，這使得管道產(chǎn)能閑置。

????Oxy’s Permian output slump drives millions in midstream losses

????The decline in Occidental Petroleum Corp.’s oil production in the Permian Basin has left the company with so much unused capacity on pipelines to the Gulf Coast that the problem will drive a midstream loss of as much as $750 million this year.

????Occidental said Tuesday that total Permian production is expected to be about 485,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day this year, well short of the 800,000 barrels of pipeline space it’s committed to. That means the company needs to buy the balance elsewhere, adding to costs.

????Occidental has long held more pipe space than it needs from the Permian, in the hope that its shale business would eventually grow big enough to make use of it. But last year’s oil-price crash, and, more recently, the winter freeze in Texas, caused the company to cut investment and production in an effort to prioritize near-term cash flow for debt reduction. That has left its pipeline position exposed.
