沙特阿拉伯增产推动欧佩克石油产量增加

中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯伦敦6月12日消息，沙特阿拉伯增加产量驱动上个月欧佩克石油产量增加。沙特是欧佩克事实上的领袖，在一年多的时间里领导着主要产油国联盟进行限产活动。

欧佩克周二在备受关注的月度报告中称，5月份该组织石油总产量环比增加3.5万桶/日，升至日均3187万桶。报告援引第二手信息资源称，5月份沙特阿拉伯石油日产量增加8.55万桶，但尼日利亚、委内瑞拉和利比亚的生产中断在一定程度上抵消了沙特的增量。

然而报告称，沙特自己公布的5月份石油产量数据显示其日均产量增加16.14万桶。欧佩克每月公布两套石油产量数据∶其一是依据各国政府向该组织报告的数据，其二是根据该组织对原油市场的分析。外界通常认为欧佩克的分析更为可靠，但也密切关注沙特自身的数据，从中寻找其希望增产或减产的信号。

Saudi Arabia Drives Rise in OPEC Oil Output

OPEC pumped more oil last month driven by higher output from Saudi Arabia, the cartel's de facto leader, which has for more than a year led a coalition of big producers in curbing production.

Total oil production in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries increased by 35,000 barrels a day in May, month-on-month, to average 31.87 million barrels a day, the cartel said Tuesday in its closely watched monthly report. Output in Saudi Arabia jumped by 85,500 barrels a day but was partly offset by production outages in Nigeria, Venezuela and Libya, the report said, citing secondary sources.

However, Saudi Arabia's own data for May showed it increased its own output by 161,400 barrels a day, according to the report. OPEC every month publishes two sets of oil-production data: one based on what its members' governments tell the cartel and another based on its own analysis of the oil market. OPEC's analysis is generally considered more reliable, but the Saudi's own data is closely watched for signals about its intentions to produce more or less oil.
