据美国媒体伦敦报道，根据全球著名能源咨询公司伍德麦肯兹有限公司(WM)，由于油价暴跌，全球石油和天然气工业将从他们计划的勘探和开发支出中削减1万亿美元。
WM在15日发表的一份声明中说，全球从2015年至2020年用于开发油气资源的投资数将比油价在2014年暴跌前预测的投资数低22%或7400亿美元，其中美国将削减最多的开发支出。另外3000亿美元将从勘探支出中被削减。全球今年的油气产量将比此前的预测少3%。
WM首席分析师马尔科姆•迪克森在声明中说，不断下跌的油价对全球上游开发支出的影响是巨大的。几乎每一个产油国的油气公司通过推迟或取消项目来回应油价的下跌。
由美国页岩油产量增加以及欧佩克决定维持产量来保护市场份额造成的全球供应过剩在2014年引发了油价的暴跌。国际基准布伦特原油如今已从1月份12年低点反弹了75%以上，其目前的每桶大约49美元的价格仍然不到两年前价格的一半。

Oil Industry to Cut $1 Trillion in Spending After Price Fall

The oil and gas industry will cut $1 trillion from planned spending on exploration and development because of the slump in prices, leading to slower growth in production, according to consultant Wood Mackenzie Ltd.
Worldwide investment in the development of oil and gas resources from 2015 to 2020 will be 22 percent, or $740 billion, lower than anticipated before prices plunged in 2014, with the deepest cuts in the U.S., Wood Mackenzie said in a statement Wednesday. A further $300 billion will be eliminated from exploration spending. Global production this year will be 3 percent lower than previously forecast, the consultant said.
“The impact of falling oil prices on global upstream development spend has been enormous,” Malcolm Dickson, principal analyst at Wood Mackenzie, said in the statement. “Companies have responded to the fall by deferring or canceling projects” in virtually every oil-producing country, he said.
A global supply glut caused by the increase in shale oil production in the U.S., coupled with the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries’ decision to keep pumping to preserve market share, triggered a collapse in oil prices in 2014. While Brent crude, the international benchmark, has rebounded more than 75 percent from a 12-year low in January, the current price of about $49 a barrel is still less than half the level two years ago.
