中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社5月9日布宜诺斯艾利斯报道，在公布了超过预期的一季度业绩一天以后，阿根廷国家控制的能源公司YPF 9日在布宜诺斯艾利斯表示，该公司预计今年的石油和天然气产量分别增加5%和18%。
在2012年被国有化的YPF表示，导致今年产量增加的主要原因是收购资产以及其巨大的巴塔哥尼亚页岩油气地层Vaca Muerta或Dead Cow的新的非常规油气产量。YPF是Vaca Muerta的主要作业者。
YPF首席财务官Daniel Gonzalez说，他预计今年Vaca Muerta的页岩产量有显著增长。
YPF 8日曾说，其一季度的油气日产量增加了10.7%，达到了52.97万桶油当量。
美国能源部日前的一份报告显示，阿根廷页岩中蕴藏的天然气储量超过了整个欧洲，774万亿立方英尺的页岩气储量可以改变西半球能源供应的前景。阿根廷拥有的页岩气储量仅次于中国和美国。

Argentina's YPF Sees 2014 Jump In Oil And Gas Output
BUENOS AIRES, May 9 (Reuters) - Argentina's state-controlled energy company YPF said on Friday it sees crude oil production increasing by 5 percent this year and natural gas output rising 18 percent, a day after reporting stronger-than-expected first-quarter results.
YPF, which was nationalized in 2012, said increased production this year was due to acquisitions and new unconventional production at its vast Patagonian shale oil and gas formation Vaca Muerta, or Dead Cow.
YPF Chief Financial Officer Daniel Gonzalez said he had "significant growth expectations for shale production". YPF is the main operator at Vaca Muerta.
YPF said on Thursday production of hydrocarbons rose 10.7 percent in the first quarter to 529,700 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
A U.S. Department of Energy report has shown that Argentina has more natural gas trapped in shale rock than all of Europe, a 774-trillion-cubic-feet bounty that could transform the outlook for Western Hemisphere supply. The country's shale gas reserves trail only China and the United States.
