据今日油价9月4日报道,据美国新闻网援引的周二提交给立法者的一份新报告显示,新墨西哥将继续保持其石油和天然气行业收入的高速增长,并预计将增加1740亿美元的基础设施来支持它。
据新墨西哥州油气协会委托发布的报告和API估计,从现在到2030年,这1740亿美元将用于石油和天然气管道、道路建设和炼油厂。
据新墨西哥州税务研究所称,2018年,仅新墨西哥州的石油收入就达22亿美元。这标志着较2017年大幅增加26%,占新墨西哥州普通基金经常性收入的32.3%。
新墨西哥州油气协会执行主任赖安·弗林表示,过去几年我们一直在关注这个问题。那个繁荣与萧条历史的循环,正是我们现在正在掀起的。未来十年左右,二叠纪盆地的新常态将会稳定增长。基础设施的增长不会是一个挑战。相反,这将是一个有机的增长,以回应他们的“持续高产量的新常态”。
但新墨西哥州的石油和天然气未来并没有完全被切断和枯竭。新墨西哥州州长MichelleLujan Grisham做出了两项重要的气候友好型承诺。第一个目标是在2045年前使新墨西哥州的电力无排放,第二个目标是比现在更多地控制石油和天然气行业的甲烷排放。对于这个严重依赖石油和天然气收入的州来说,这将是一个艰难的销售。如果二叠纪投资者找到一个更容易工作的环境,他们可能很容易在德克萨斯州投资,而不是在新墨西哥州投资。

New Mexico Oil And Gas Industry Set To Break Records
New Mexico is set to continue its breakneck pace for revenue growth from its oil and gas industry, and is expected to add $174 billion in infrastructure to support it, according to a new report submitted to lawmakers on Tuesday, cited by US News.
The $174 billion will be spent between now and 2030 on oil and gas pipelines as well as roads, pad construction, and refineries, the report commissioned by the New Mexico Oil and Gas Association and the API estimates.
New Mexico’s oil revenue alone was $2.2 billion in 2018, according to New Mexico’s Tax Research Institute. This marked a huge increase from 2017 of 26 percent, and accounting for 32.3 percent of the New Mexico State General Fund recurring revenue.
"We've been seeing it for the last couple of years. That history of boom and bust, that cycle, is something we're flipping on its head right now," Flynn said. "The new normal for the Permian Basin is going to be solid growth for the next decade or so,” Ryan Flynn, executive director with the New Mexico Oil and Gas Association said, adding that the infrastructure growth won’t be a challenge. Instead, it will be an organic growth that will come in response to their “new normal of continually high production.”
But New Mexico’s oil and gas future isn’t completely cut and dry. New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has made two important climate-friendly pledges. The first was to make New Mexico’s electricity emission-free by 2045, and the second was to curb methane emissions from the oil and gas industry more than they are now. This will be a tough sell for the state that relies so heavily on oil and gas revenues, and Permian investors may easily invest in the Texas side rather than New Mexico’s if it finds an easier environment to work in.
