石油设备网讯 据阿联酋国民日报5月16日报道,欧佩克+将于周五在吉达召开技术委员会会议,此次会议正值阿联酋沿海水域紧张局势升级、沙特阿拉伯两个油泵站遭到袭击的背景下,石油供应问题仍不确定。
尽管油价在2018年底大幅下跌,但随着欧佩克减产,油价已有所回升。4月底,市场的不确定性加剧。基准布伦特原油价格飙升至每桶75美元,原因是100万桶原油离开市场的前景加剧了对供应短缺的担忧。
沙特阿拉伯和阿联酋已承诺提高产量,以抵消市场供应的任何停滞,但据说这两家生产商在承诺进一步供应前正在仔细权衡选择。
欧佩克很可能在未来三天决定是否要取消正在进行的交易,该交易已将油价推升至今年每桶60至70美元的带宽,还是增加供应,以满足夏季不断增长的需求。
欧佩克在最新报告中预测,第三季度原油需求将增加117万桶/日。为了满足这一增长,欧佩克可能会在下次会议上考虑提振供应。国际能源署在其最新的石油市场报告中表示,欧佩克,尤其是其事实上的领导沙特阿拉伯,有相当大的增产空间,因为该国4月份的产量比分配水平低50万桶。
欧佩克迄今对安全问题保持沉默,秘书长穆罕默德·巴尔金多周三在阿布扎比告诉记者,我们除了和平什么也不想要。鉴于最近发生的事件,在没有某热点国家参与的情况下在吉达举行的会议将受到密切关注。

Opec to convene in Jeddah amid regional tensions and price volatility
Opec+ will convene in Jeddah on Friday for its technical committee meeting amid fresh oil supply uncertainties against a backdrop of escalating tensions in the waters off the UAE coast and attacks on two oil pumping stations in Saudi Arabia.
Oil prices, which had slumped towards the end of 2018, picked up pace with the Opec output curbs and on the back of a loss of production. Market uncertainties were heightened at the end of April. Benchmark Brent spiked to $75 per barrel as the prospect of 1 million bpd of crude leaving the markets increased concerns about supply shortages.
Saudi Arabia and the UAE had pledged to raise output to offset any outages in the market, however the two producers were said to be weighing up their options carefully before promising further supply commitments.
Opec will likely decide over the coming three days whether to cancel the ongoing deal, that has already moved prices into the $60 to $70 per barrel bandwidth this year or boost supply to meet increasing demand over the summer.
In its latest report, Opec projected crude demand for the third quarter to be higher by 1.17 million bpd. To meet this increase, Opec may consider a supply boost at its next meeting.In its latest oil market report, the International Energy Agency said Opec, especially its de facto leader Saudi Arabia, has considerable scope to step up production since the kingdom produced 500,000 bpd below allocation for April.
Opec has so far remained mum about security concerns, with the Secretary General Mohammad Barkindo telling reporters in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday that the group wanted nothing but peace.The meeting in Jeddah, which will take place without a certain hot country will be closely watched in light of recent events.
