美国最大天然气生产商EQT能源公司报告称，由于过去几天的寒冷天气，其天然气产量大幅下降了30%
EQT能源公司首席执行官托比·赖斯表示，上周天然气日产量下降了10亿至15亿立方英尺
在2022年第三季度，EQT能源公司的天然气日产量约为50亿立方英尺
中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网2022年12月28日报道，彭博新闻社报道说，由于严寒天气导致阿巴拉契亚盆地的产气井中断生产，美国最大的天然气生产商EQT能源公司的天然气产量大幅下降了30%。
EQT能源公司首席执行官托比·赖斯周三在接受彭博电视台采访时表示，由于上周开始的极端寒流导致气温降至零度以下，预计1.5亿人受到影响，EQT能源公司天然气日产量下降了10亿至15亿立方英尺。
在2022年第三季度，EQT能源公司的天然气日产量约为50亿立方英尺。
赖斯说，其天然气产量应该会在“未来几天”恢复正常。
这位EQT能源公司高管正在利用这次产量损失作为抨击可再生能源的公开舞台，他告诉彭博新闻社，可再生能源“没有出现”，赞扬天然气行业对恶劣天气条件的快速反应能力，并呼吁修建更多的天然气管道来支撑供暖和电力供应。
赖斯11月份曾在一份公开声明中说，增加天然气产量和修建更多的管道是解决气候变化、全球贫困和许多其他问题的答案。
总的来说，阿巴拉契亚盆地的天然气日产量下降了90亿立方英尺，下降了27%。据彭博新能源财经报道，这是自2013年以来的最大降幅。该地区天然气产量下降对能源网络造成了严重破坏，输往燃气发电机组的天然气量大幅减少。
俄亥俄州的天然气产量受到冬季风暴的打击最为严重，随着冬季风暴埃利奥特(Elliott)席卷俄亥俄州和宾夕法尼亚州，俄亥俄州的天然气产量下降了20%，宾夕法尼亚州的天然气产量下降了近50%。

America’s Biggest Gas Producer Sees 30% Output Cut Over Storm
· EQT Corp. has reported a 30% in gas production due to the cold weather of the last couple of days.
· EQT Chief Executive Officer Toby Rice said output fell by between 1 billion and 1.5 billion cubic feet per day last week.
· In Q3 2022, EQT was producing around 5 billion cubic feet per day.
America’s largest natural gas producer, EQT Corp, has experienced a plunge in production up to 30% due to severe cold weather that led to Appalachian Basin well disruption, Bloomberg reports.
Speaking to Bloomberg Television>In Q3 2022, EQT was producing around 5 billion cubic feet per day.
Rice said output should be restored to normal in the “next couple of days”.
The EQT executive is using this loss of production as a public stage for slamming renewable power sources, which he told Bloomberg “didn’t show up”, applauding the natural gas industry’s ability to respond quickly to severe weather conditions and calling for more natural gas pipelines to shore up heating and power supplies.
Last month, Rice said in a public statement that increasing natural gas production and building more pipelines was the answer to climate change, global poverty and a host of other problems.
Overall, the Appalachian Basin saw natural gas output drop by 9 billion cubic feet–a 27% plunge. According to Bloomberg NEF, that drop was the biggest since 2013. The production drop in the region wreaked havoc>Production was most profoundly hit in Ohio, which experienced a nearly 50% output drop as Winter Storm Elliott raged through both Ohio and Pennsylvania, which saw a 20% decline in output.
