據美國彭博新聞社倫敦報道，由于歐佩克因疫情再次威脅需求加大了復蘇全球市場的努力，歐佩克把石油產量大幅削減到了1991年海灣戰爭以來的最低水平。

據彭博社的一次調查結果顯示，沙特忠實地履行了6月份承諾的額外限制措施，而落后的國家盡管在實施限制措施方面仍落后，但表現有所改善。歐佩克及其合作伙伴自今年5月以來創紀錄的減產幫助重振了石油市場，但美國等國近期病例的激增凸顯了這一復蘇的脆弱性。

調查結果顯示，歐佩克6月份把石油日產量削減了193萬桶，至2269萬桶。這是自1991年5月海灣戰爭以來的最低水平，盡管自那以后成員資格的變化影響了比較。

此次調查是基于來自政府官員提供的信息、船舶跟蹤數據和來自挪威能源研究公司雷斯塔能源公司、Rapidan 能源集團、JBC 能源公司和Kpler SAS等咨詢公司的估計。

歐佩克+的干預已使基準布倫特原油價格從4月份的低點上漲了一倍以上。據估計，4月份疫情爆發導致全球需求減少了大約三分之一。7月1日，油價每桶超過了41美元。

然而，歐佩克的石油產量降至近30年來的最低水平說明了其所涉及的犧牲規模之大。在4月份舉行的一次會議上，歐佩克+承諾每日減產970萬桶，約占全球供應量的10%，一些中東成員國隨后又承諾在6月份自愿進一步減產。

歐佩克最大的成員國沙特6月份把石油日產油量削減了113萬桶，至753萬桶，并全面實施了額外的自愿減產。同為波斯灣石油出口國的科威特和阿聯酋也實現了歐佩克規定的減產目標，但僅完成了額外自愿減產的一小部分。

OPEC cuts production to 1991 levels in bid to revive oil demand

OPEC slashed oil production to the lowest level since the Gulf War in 1991, as it escalated efforts to revive global markets just as a resurgence of the coronavirus is threatening demand again.

Saudi Arabia faithfully delivered the extra curbs promised in June, and the laggards, though still trailing in implementing the cuts, stepped up their performance, according to a Bloomberg survey. OPEC and its partners’ record output cuts since May have helped revive the oil market, but a recent surge of Covid-19 infections in countries including the U.S. is highlighting the fragility of the revival.

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries cut production by 1.93 million barrels a day to 22.69 million a day last month, according to the survey. That’s the lowest since May 1991, though membership changes since then affect the comparison.

The survey is based on information from officials, ship-tracking data and estimates from consultants including Rystad Energy A/S, Rapidan Energy Group, JBC Energy GmbH and Kpler SAS.

The intervention by OPEC+, the coalition that spans the cartel plus outsiders such as Russia, has helped more than double benchmark Brent crude from the lows of April, when the virus outbreak is estimated to have taken out about a third of global demand. Prices were above $41 a barrel on Wednesday.

Yet the pullback in the group’s output to the lowest in almost three decades illustrates the scale of the sacrifice involved. OPEC+ pledged 9.7 million barrels a day of cuts at a meeting in April -- about 10% of global supplies -- and some of its Middle East members then promised to voluntarily cut even deeper in June.

Saudi Arabia, the group’s biggest member, cut back by 1.13 million barrels a day to 7.53 million in June, fully implementing its additional voluntary reduction. Fellow Persian Gulf exporters Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates met their OPEC-mandated targets, but fulfilled only a small part of the extra curbs.
