中國石化新聞網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)彭博社8月4日報(bào)道,歐佩克+表示將繼續(xù)堅(jiān)持原定方針,沙特阿拉伯作為組織領(lǐng)導(dǎo)國延長減產(chǎn)措施以穩(wěn)固全球石油市場。
一位不愿透露姓名的代表稱,在7月底的在線會(huì)議上,由沙特阿拉伯和其他關(guān)鍵歐佩克+國家組成的監(jiān)測委員會(huì)推薦不對聯(lián)盟的供應(yīng)政策進(jìn)行任何調(diào)整,因?yàn)橄嚓P(guān)信息屬于私密。
沙特阿拉伯在上周四宣布將持續(xù)將每日減產(chǎn)100萬桶的單方面措施延長至9月,并可能在此后進(jìn)一步減產(chǎn),以支持脆弱的市場。倫敦原油價(jià)格在每桶85美元以上,接近三個(gè)月來的高位,但對于亞洲經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇的擔(dān)憂對需求前景產(chǎn)生了陰影。
根據(jù)組織網(wǎng)站上的聲明,該委員會(huì)將“繼續(xù)密切評估市場情況”,并注意到歐佩克+成員國愿意“應(yīng)對市場發(fā)展,并隨時(shí)準(zhǔn)備采取進(jìn)一步措施”。
主要消費(fèi)國已批評沙特阿拉伯在石油市場已經(jīng)在迅速收緊的情況下限制產(chǎn)量,警告稱重新出現(xiàn)通貨膨脹將給消費(fèi)者帶來更多痛苦。
目前的減產(chǎn)努力主要集中在兩個(gè)歐佩克+領(lǐng)導(dǎo)國,其他幾個(gè)石油輸出國及其合作伙伴仍低于其分配的產(chǎn)量配額,無法進(jìn)一步減產(chǎn),因?yàn)槭艿讲怀渥愕耐顿Y和政治不穩(wěn)定的困擾。
為維護(hù)石油市場,沙特付出了代價(jià),將產(chǎn)量削減至兩年來的低位,每日產(chǎn)油量僅約900萬桶。國際貨幣基金組織對該國的經(jīng)濟(jì)增長預(yù)測進(jìn)行了最嚴(yán)重的下調(diào),預(yù)計(jì)今年增長僅為1.9%,僅為2022年的一小部分。
根據(jù)聲明,聯(lián)合部長級監(jiān)測委員會(huì)將于10月4日再次召開會(huì)議,而由23個(gè)國家組成的完整歐佩克+聯(lián)盟將于11月下旬會(huì)晤。

OPEC+ Reaffirms Strategy
OPEC+ signaled it will stay the course as group leader Saudi Arabia extends a production cut aimed at shoring up global oil markets.
A monitoring committee comprising the kingdom and other key OPEC+ nations recommended no changes to the coalition’s supply policy at an online meeting on Friday, according to a delegate, who asked not to be named because the information was private.
Riyadh announced on Thursday that it will extend a unilateral cutback of 1 million barrels a day into September — and potentially deepen the reduction after that — to support a fragile market. Crude prices are trading near a three-month high above $85 a barrel in London, yet fears over Asian economic rebound cloud the demand outlook.
The committee “will continue to closely assess market conditions” and noted that OPEC+ members are willing “to address market developments and stand ready to take additional measures at any time,” according to a statement on the organization’s website.
Major consuming nations have criticized the Saudis for constricting output when oil markets are already on track to tighten significantly, warning that a renewed inflationary spike would inflict more pain on consumers.
The current effort is largely confined to the two OPEC+ leaders: several other nations among the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its partners are pumping below their assigned quotas and unable to cut further, plagued by inadequate investment and political instability.
Defending the oil market has come at a cost for the Saudis, requiring them to slash output to a two-year low near 9 million barrels a day. The kingdom suffered the sharpest downgrade to economic growth projections by the International Monetary Fund, which sees the country expanding by just 1.9% this year, a fraction of its performance in 2022.
The Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee will convene again on Oct. 4, according to the statement, while the full 23-nation OPEC+ alliance is due to meet in late November.
