中國石化新聞網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)路透社5月9日布宜諾斯艾利斯報道，在公布了超過預期的一季度業(yè)績一天以后，阿根廷國家控制的能源公司YPF 9日在布宜諾斯艾利斯表示，該公司預計今年的石油和天然氣產(chǎn)量分別增加5%和18%。

在2012年被國有化的YPF表示，導致今年產(chǎn)量增加的主要原因是收購資產(chǎn)以及其巨大的巴塔哥尼亞頁巖油氣地層Vaca Muerta或Dead Cow的新的非常規(guī)油氣產(chǎn)量。YPF是Vaca Muerta的主要作業(yè)者。

YPF首席財務官Daniel Gonzalez說，他預計今年Vaca Muerta的頁巖產(chǎn)量有顯著增長。

YPF 8日曾說，其一季度的油氣日產(chǎn)量增加了10.7%，達到了52.97萬桶油當量。

美國能源部日前的一份報告顯示，阿根廷頁巖中蘊藏的天然氣儲量超過了整個歐洲，774萬億立方英尺的頁巖氣儲量可以改變西半球能源供應的前景。阿根廷擁有的頁巖氣儲量僅次于中國和美國。

Argentina's YPF Sees 2014 Jump In Oil And Gas Output

BUENOS AIRES, May 9 (Reuters) - Argentina's state-controlled energy company YPF said on Friday it sees crude oil production increasing by 5 percent this year and natural gas output rising 18 percent, a day after reporting stronger-than-expected first-quarter results.

YPF, which was nationalized in 2012, said increased production this year was due to acquisitions and new unconventional production at its vast Patagonian shale oil and gas formation Vaca Muerta, or Dead Cow.

YPF Chief Financial Officer Daniel Gonzalez said he had "significant growth expectations for shale production". YPF is the main operator at Vaca Muerta.

YPF said on Thursday production of hydrocarbons rose 10.7 percent in the first quarter to 529,700 barrels of oil equivalent per day.

A U.S. Department of Energy report has shown that Argentina has more natural gas trapped in shale rock than all of Europe, a 774-trillion-cubic-feet bounty that could transform the outlook for Western Hemisphere supply. The country's shale gas reserves trail only China and the United States.
