???? 據(jù)原油新聞2月19日消息稱,《華爾街日報》周三援引沙特顧問的話報道稱,該國計劃在未來幾個月增加石油產(chǎn)量,扭轉(zhuǎn)最近的減產(chǎn)局面。
????世界最大石油出口國上月宣布,將在2月和3月單方面削減原油日產(chǎn)量100萬桶,以提高油價,這令石油市場感到意外。
????據(jù)《華爾街日報》報道,沙特阿拉伯預計將在下月石油生產(chǎn)國聯(lián)盟會議上宣布其計劃,并補充說,產(chǎn)量增長要到4月份才會開始。
????但沙特阿拉伯能源部長阿卜杜勒-阿齊茲·本·薩勒曼親王周三表示,現(xiàn)在宣布戰(zhàn)勝病毒還為時過早,產(chǎn)油國必須保持"極其謹慎"。
????他在一次能源行業(yè)活動上表示:“我們現(xiàn)在的狀況比一年前好多了,但是我必須再次警告大家,不要自滿。不確定性非常高,我們必須非常謹慎?!?/p>
????更強勁的價格環(huán)境使人們更加關(guān)注歐佩克+,該組織由歐佩克、俄羅斯及其盟國組成。它將于3月4日開會制定政策。
????歐佩克+的消息人士對路透表示,鑒于油價回升,歐佩克+產(chǎn)油國可能在4月后放松對供應的限制。
????荷蘭國際集團分析師Warren Patterson表示:"我們認為OPEC+可能會采取更保守的方式,更溫和地減少產(chǎn)量。"
????路透調(diào)查的分析師平均估計,截至2月12日的一周,美國原油庫存減少220萬桶。
????據(jù)《華爾街日報》報道,分析師表示,沙特計劃恢復供應的舉措預計不會立即刺激其他大型產(chǎn)油國大幅增產(chǎn),因為沙特被公認為在減產(chǎn)方面承擔了最大的重擔。
????不過,該新聞文章稱,分析師預計,隨著經(jīng)濟復蘇勢頭的增強,生產(chǎn)商對產(chǎn)量限制的遵守將越來越寬松。

????Saudi Arabia Plans to Increase Oil Output Amid Recovery in Prices
????Saudi Arabia plans to increase oil output in the coming months, reversing a recent production cut, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wedn-esday, citing advisers to the country.
????The world’s largest oil exporter surprised oil markets last month when it said it would unilaterally slash 1 million barrels a day of crude production in February and March in an effort to raise prices.
????Saudi Arabia is expected to announce its plans when a coalition of oil producers meets next month, according to the WSJ report, adding that the output rise won't kick in until April.
????But Saudi Arabian Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said on Wednesday that it was too early to declare victory against the Covid-19 virus and that oil producers must remain "extremely cautious".
????"We are in a much better place than we were a year ago, but I must warn, once again, against complacency. The uncertainty is very high, and we have to be extremely cautious," he told an energy industry event.
????The stronger price environment has put more attention on OPEC+, which groups OPEC, Russia and allied producers. It meets to set policy on March 4.
????OPEC+ oil producers are likely to ease curbs on supply after April given a recovery in prices, OPEC+ sources told Reuters.
????"We believe that OPEC+ will likely take a more conservative approach, and ease output more modestly," said ING analyst Warren Patterson.
????Analysts polled by Reuters estimated, on average, that crude stocks fell 2.2 million barrels in the week to February 12.
????According to the WSJ report, the planned Saudi move to restore supplies isn’t expected to immediately spark large output increases from other big producers, analysts say, given the kingdom is acknowledged to have carried the biggest burden in reducing production.
????However, analysts do expect compliance with output curbs among producers to be increasingly loose as the recovery gains momentum, says the news article.?
