石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯5月19日沙特阿拉伯吉达报道,沙特阿拉伯能源部长哈立德·法利赫(Khalid al-Falih)周日提出了要求欧佩克及其盟国继续削减石油产量的理由,尽管地缘政治形势令人担忧,他表示,全球石油供应仍然充足,库存也很高。
在他与俄罗斯总理亚历山大·诺瓦克(Alexander Novak)共同主持的欧佩克/非欧佩克部长级联合监督委员会会议之前,Falih说:"我的建议是降低库存,使库存保持在正常水平上。”Falih表示,5月份和6月份沙特原油日产量将保持在970万桶至980万桶左右,远低于协议规定的每日1031万桶的配额。
Novak对记者说,委员会可能会考虑一些提议,包括放宽联盟自今年1月以来实施的120万桶/日的减产。此削减计划将于6月到期。
Novak表示,今天,我们正在考虑各种选择(2019年下半年),包括降低产量(配额)。
非欧佩克俄罗斯一直不那么急于进一步削减。
Falih称,该联盟的重点是不允许石油库存“飞涨”,而最近海湾日益紧张的关系不会使石油市场管理方面的合作脱节。
Falih表示,我们专注于保持平衡的基本原则,不会因地缘政治分散注意力。
对于联盟生产政策的任何改变都将在6月25-26日在维也纳举行的下一次全体会议上作出。

Saudis make case for keeping oil cuts while Russia open to change
Saudi Arabia's energy minister Khalid al-Falih on Sunday laid out his case for OPEC and its allies to continue their oil production cuts, despite fraught geopolitics, saying global supplies are still plentiful and inventories high.
"My recommendation to my colleagues will be to drive inventories down to stay on the trajectory to bring inventories down to a normal level," Falih said, ahead of a meeting of the OPEC/non-OPEC Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee that he co-chairs with Russian counterpart Alexander Novak. Falih said Saudi crude production would remain around 9.7 million to 9.8 million b/d for May and June, well below its quota of 10.31 million b/d under the deal.
Novak told reporters that the committee may consider proposals that include easing up on the 1.2 million b/d in supply cuts that the coalition has implemented since January. The cuts are set to expire in June.
"Today we are looking at various options [for the second half of 2019] including softening the production [quotas]," Novak said.
Non-OPEC Russia has been less eager to lock in further cuts.
Falih said the coalition is focused on not allowing oil inventories to "skyrocket," and that recent rising tensions would not derail cooperation on oil market management.
"We are focused on bringing fundamentals to a balance point and will not be distracted by geopolitics," Falih said.
Any changes to the coalition's production policy would be made at its next full meeting, June 25-26 in Vienna.
