在全球油价承压、页岩油行业面临成本压力的背景下，能源巨头埃克森美孚近日发布新版企业战略，宣 布通过整合40余项"可叠加技术"与全价值链资源，在2030年前实现较2024年新增盈利超140亿美元的目 标。这一数字较此前预测高出50亿美元。该战略不仅依赖二叠纪盆地与圭亚那的产量提升，更核心的突 破在于通过技术革新重构页岩油开采的经济学逻辑。 技术破局：40余项创新的"叠加效应" 与传统页岩油企业依赖单一技术突破不同，埃克森美孚提出的"可叠加技术"理念强调通过多项增量创新 的有机整合，实现"1+1>2"的协同效应。这些技术覆盖从钻井、开采到炼化的全流程，目前已有超过40 项专有技术进入研发或应用阶段，其核心目标是将二叠纪盆地的资源采收率提升一倍。 石油焦支撑剂技术是其中的明星成果。这种由炼油副产品石油焦制成的专有轻质材料，在水力压裂作业 中可实现更远距离输送并持久支撑裂缝。与传统石英砂相比，其不仅成本更低，还能将单井采油量提升 20%，目前该技术已成埃克森美孚提升产能的关键抓手。 井距优化策略则通过数据驱动实现资源高效开采。埃克森美孚创新的"立方体开发"模式可同时开采多个 垂直叠加的油藏层，相较单一层位开发，项目净 ...

智通财经记者 | 田鹤琪 "近年来，全球低碳新能源投资保持持续增长。据国际能源署(IEA）预计，2025年全球清洁能源投资总 额将首次突破2.2亿美元。油气行业低碳投资额保持在300亿美元以上，但投资占比出现下降。" 12月17日，《能源展望2060系列报告发布会暨2026能源化工产业发展论坛》在北京召开。中国石化经济 技术研究院(下称中石化经研院)公司管理研究所副所长胡微微在平行论坛上作出上述表述。 在政府政策、市场趋势和股东意愿等内外部因素共同作用下，国际石油公司曾纷纷开展低碳和新能源领 域投资，快速布局低碳和新能源相关业务。 但近年来，国际石油公司的低碳布局正面临内外压力。 内部层面，近五年，多元化进程较快的企业，承受着价值增长与现金流稳定的双重压力；外部层面，资 本市场更认可 "审慎布局" 的企业，这类公司2020年以来股价增幅领跑，股息水平也相对较高。 在此影响下，2023年后，部分企业开始回调碳减排目标，为低碳业务"松绑"。此前布局较激进的公司重 新重视油气业务，降低低碳投资规模，调整投资节奏，将资金优先投向短周期、高现金流的优质项目。 "我们从石油公司们的投资经验中也能获得几方面启示。"胡微微表 ...
