据普氏能源资讯布宜诺斯艾利斯5月10日消息 阿根廷最大的石油和天然气生产商YPF正专注于页岩油的生产增长，因为供应过剩导致天然气产量过剩，该公司的管理人员周五表示。
这一转变旨在扭转预计今年总产量下降3％的预期。
YPF负责战略和业务发展的副总裁Sergio Giorgi表示：“我们已经将重点转移到加快我们在瓦卡穆尔塔（Vaca Muerta）的页岩油开发。”
Giorgi在与该公司周四晚间报告称其第一季度油气总产量从去年同期的54.96万桶油当量/日减少11.5％至48.65万桶石油当量后，与投资者进行了电话会谈。天然气产量从4370万立方米/日下降20.6％至每天3470万立方米。
石油产量也有所下降，但从22.76万桶/天仅下降0.5％至22.64万桶/天，而天然气液体产量从4.7万桶/天下降11.2％至4.17万桶/天。
尽管产量有所下降，但Giorgi表示YPF坚持其早先的目标，即今年整体产量下降2-3％。 “这很有挑战性，但可行。”他补充道。
YPF最近开始与斯伦贝谢和La Amarga Chica合作，在与马来西亚的Petronas合作的基础上与雪佛龙合作将一起全面开发Bandurria Sur。 Loma Campana第一季度净产量为3.05万桶/日的页岩油，同比增长63.3％，这有助于其第一季度净页岩总产量从4.9万桶/日增加45.1％至7.11万桶油当量/天。
为了扩大增长，该公司正在扩大其在石油窗口的测试，现在集中在该区域的东南部并建设处理和运输基础设施，以帮助抵消其在全国许多成熟的传统油田的下降。
投资者关系经理Ignacio Rostagno称：“好消息是，我们的页岩油产量增长抵消了传统的产量下降，我们预计这种趋势将持续下去。”
YPF正在运行六个页岩油试点项目，预计将在2020年和2021年对其中两个进行全面开发。

Argentina's YPF shifts focus to shale oil to reverse overall production decline
YPF, the largest oil and natural gas producer in Argentina, is focusing The shift is aimed at reversing an expected an up to 3% decline 3% in overall output this year.
"We have shifted our focus to accelerating our shale oil developments" in Vaca Muerta, the country's largest shale play, said Sergio Giorgi, YPF's vice president of strategy and business development.
Giorgi spoke Oil production also fell, but Despite the decline, Giorgi said YPF is sticking to its earlier target of a 2-3% drop in overall production this year. "It is challenging, but doable," he said.
YPF recently started the full-scale development of Bandurria Sur with Schlumberger and La Amarga Chica with Malaysia's Petronas in the oil window, building To extend the growth, the company is widening its testing in the oil window, now concentrated in the southeast of the play, and building treatment and transport infrastructure, helping to offset declines at its many maturing conventional oil fields around the country.
"The good news is that our shale oil production growth is offsetting the conventional production decline, and we expect this trend to continue," said Ignacio Rostagno, manager of investor relations.
YPF is running six shale oil pilots and expects to go into full-scale development
