据天然气新闻2021年4月6日休斯敦报道，由于海恩斯维尔页岩区的运营商对强劲的井口经济和今年LNG出口需求的光明前景做出了回应，海恩斯维尔页岩区天然气产量猛增正在进入春季。

4月到目前为止，海恩斯维尔页岩区天然气产量呈创纪录增长的趋势，日均天然气产量超过130亿立方英尺，天然气产量增加广泛分布在这个远景区的德克萨斯州和路易斯安那州部分。

在过去的7个月里，海恩斯维尔页岩区的钻井和完井活动稳步增加，导致了最近的天然气产量增加。今年2月，海恩斯维尔页岩区的在用钻机数量一度超过50部，达到了2019年12月以来的最高水平。Enverus最近发布的数据显示，这一里程碑标志着海恩斯维尔盆地的钻机数量与去年夏天相比发生了戏剧性的转变，当时该盆地的在用钻机数量跌至新冠肺炎疫情导致的最低水平，仅为31部。

在2020年第一季度大宗商品价格的全球影响下，美国其他所有页岩盆地的钻井活动仍仅停留在大流行前水平的一小部分。虽然大多数美国运营商选择最大化自由现金流，而不是增加产量，但海恩斯维尔页岩区的生产商今年对前景似乎更加乐观。

Haynesville gas production hits record high spurred by strong returns, bullish outlook

Gas production in the Haynesville Shale is surging into the spring season as operators there respond to strong wellhead economics and a brightening outlook for LNG export demand this year.

Month-to-date, output is trending at record-high levels over 13 Bcf/d, with gains widely distributed across the Texas and Louisiana portions of the play, data complied by S&P Global Platts Analytics showed.

Recent production strength comes following a steady build in drilling and completion activity over the past seven months. In February, rig count in the Haynesville briefly topped 50, reaching its highest since December 2019. The milestone marks a dramatic turnaround from last summer when the basin's rig count tumbled to a pandemic-fueled low at just 31, recent data published by Enverus showed.

Following a global fallout in commodity prices in first-quarter 2020, drilling activity in every other US shale basin has remained at just a fraction of its pre-pandemic level. While most US operators opt to maximize free cash flow over growth, producers in the Haynesville appear more bullish this year.
