???? 据世界石油网站2月24日报道 西方石油公司在二叠纪盆地的石油产量下降，使得该公司在通往墨西哥湾海岸的管道上有太多闲置产能，这一问题将导致今年的中游损失高达7.5亿美元。

????西方石油周二表示，今年二叠纪石油总产量预计约为48.5万桶油当量/日，远低于其承诺的80万桶管道空间，这意味着该公司需要在其他地方购买余额，从而增加了成本。

????西方石油长期以来持有的管道空间超过了二叠纪时期的需求，希望其页岩业务最终能够发展到足以利用它的规模。但去年的油价暴跌，以及最近德克萨斯州的极地寒流，导致该公司削减投资和生产，以期优先考虑近期现金流以减少债务，这使得管道产能闲置。

????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.
