據美國鉆井網站2022年9月7日報道，美國二疊紀盆地對得克薩斯州和美國的經濟影響正在增長。美國二疊紀盆地迄今已為美國經濟貢獻了1530億美元和70萬個工作崗位。根據帕理曼集團和二疊紀戰略伙伴關系公司（PSP）提供的一份最新報告，到2050年前，二疊紀盆地預計將為美國經濟貢獻高達2600億美元的生產總值和超過100萬個工作崗位。 

根據PSP這份最新報告，二疊紀盆地去年還為得克薩斯州稅收貢獻了118億美元，為得克薩斯州工業創造了50.88萬個就業崗位，并在今年為得克薩斯州公立大學基金貢獻了19億美元的礦產收入。 2023年，二疊紀盆地還將向得克薩斯州高速公路基金捐款35.8億美元，并在2023年向得克薩斯州雨天基金（也稱為應急基金，經濟尚佳時撥備10%資金，以供財政資源無法重新分配，或在財政赤字不斷追加預算時使用）捐款35.8億美元，這是有記錄以來的最高數額。 

PSP總裁（喬治·W·布什政府時期的美國商務部長）唐·埃文斯說：“在過去的一個世紀里，二疊紀盆地一直是我們國家的命脈，提供了重要的資源、就業機會和經濟機會。二疊紀盆地是世界上最大的安全能源供應地。得克薩斯州應該繼續投資并擴大該地區的基礎設施。這將提高能源工業提供必要能源的能力，以保持我們國家的經濟強大和國家安全?！?/p>

美國二疊紀盆地是世界上最大的能源產區之一，擁有豐富的自然資源和可再生資源。二疊紀盆地擁有945億桶探明可采石油儲量和213.3萬億立方英尺探明可采天然氣儲量，為得克薩斯州和美國經濟提供了燃料。該地區的人口只占得州人口的1.6%，但卻貢獻了得州私營部門7.8%的GDP。  

PSP總裁兼首席執行官Tracee Bentley表示：“PSP將致力于提供最新的數據，不僅包括二疊紀盆地對得州經濟的影響，還包括我們地區在不斷變化的地緣政治格局中的戰略角色?！薄暗弥蓊I導人現在有一個歷史性的機會，可以投資得州和美國的未來，并通過投資二疊紀盆地的基礎設施來保持能源的豐富?！?/p>

雖然二疊紀盆地的貢獻很大，但仍有改進的空間。如果在二疊紀盆地基礎設施項目上追加10億美元的投資，傷亡人數將減少4500人，交通延誤時間將減少100萬小時，同時安全系數的提高和延誤時間的減少將帶來15億美元的經濟效益。

Permian Contributes $153B And 700,000 Jobs To U.S. Economy

The Permian Basin’s economic impact on Texas and the nation is growing. By 2050, the region is expected to contribute up to $260 billion in gross product and more than 1,000,000 jobs to the nation’s economy, according to a new report from The Perryman Group and the Permian Strategic Partnership (PSP).

According to the new report, the Permian is also responsible for $11.8 billion in 2021 Texas tax collections, 508,800 Texas industry jobs, and $1.9 billion in 2022 mineral revenue contributions to the Texas Public University Fund. The Permian will also contribute $3.58 billion to the Texas State Highway Fund in 2023 and $3.58 billion to the Texas Rainy-Day Fund in 2023 - the highest amount ever recorded.

“Over the last century, the Permian Basin has been the lifeblood of our nation - providing vital resources, jobs, and economic opportunities,” said Don Evans, PSP Chairman and Former U.S. Commerce Secretary during the George W. Bush Administration. “The Permian Basin is the largest secure supply of energy in the world. Texas should continue to invest in and expand the infrastructure of the region. This will enhance the ability for the energy industry to provide the energy resources necessary to keep our nation’s economy strong and country secure.”

The Permian Basin is one of the top energy-producing regions in the world, with abundant natural and renewable resources. With 94.5 billion barrels of known recoverable oil and 213.3 trillion cubic feet of known recoverable natural gas, the Permian Basin helps fuel the state and national economies. It’s home to just 1.6 percent of the Texas population but is responsible for 7.8 percent of the state’s private sector GDP.

“The PSP is committed to providing current data about not only the Permian Basin’s impact on the Texas economy but also on the strategic role of our region in an ever-evolving geopolitical landscape,’ said president and CEO of the PSP Tracee Bentley. “Texas leaders have a historic opportunity to invest in the future of our state and country and keep energy abundant by investing in Permian Basin infrastructure.”

While the Permian Basin’s contribution is substantial, there is still room for improvement. An additional $1 billion in investments in Permian Basin Infrastructure could result in 4,500 fewer fatalities and injuries, 1 million few hours in traffic delays, and $1.5 billion in economic benefits from increased safety and fewer delays.
