Donald Trump: 我希望通过增加石油产量来降低能源价格,从而控制通货膨胀。我一直以来都是石油和天然气行业的坚定支持者,并呼吁石油公司积极增产,实现“drill, baby, drill”的目标。我相信通过解除对电动汽车的补贴和放宽相关法规,可以进一步刺激石油需求,从而实现能源独立和经济繁荣。 Jamie Smith: 特朗普总统试图通过降低能源价格来应对通货膨胀,这与他一直以来对石油行业的支持相符。然而,石油公司面临着来自投资者的压力,他们更倾向于保持资本支出稳定,并通过股息和股票回购来获得回报。此外,全球石油需求减弱和供应过剩也使得石油公司不愿增加钻探。关税政策也增加了市场的不确定性,可能对石油行业产生不利影响。 Amanda Chu: 石油公司并未听从特朗普增产石油的命令,而是选择保持或降低资本支出。这是因为石油公司需要迎合投资者的利益,而投资者目前不希望看到石油公司花费大量资金扩大钻探,导致油价过低。即使特朗普政府试图通过行政命令来改变石油公司的想法,短期内也不会对石油产量产生太大影响。只有当石油消费出现长期结构性变化或油价大幅上涨时,石油公司才会改变策略。

The US is the world's leading oil producer, thanks to the shale revolution and fracking technology. However, despite President Trump's push for increased drilling, the oil industry's priorities, influenced by investor interests and current market conditions, differ.
  • US daily oil production exceeds 13 million barrels.
  • Shale revolution and fracking technology unlocked significant oil reserves.
  • Wall Street's investment propelled shale oil production.
  • Current oil glut impacts company profits.
