“欧佩克+”考虑在吉达会议上放宽减产协议

中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯沙特吉达5月17日消息，欧佩克及其盟友将于周日在沙特阿拉伯举行的会议上讨论是否增加原油产量。在波斯湾面临10多年来从未出现过的紧张局势下，它们正努力平衡全球原油供应。

在欧佩克和以俄罗斯为首的产油国即将召开会议之际，近一周前两艘沙特油轮遭到破坏。

本周末会议的与会者表示，欧佩克正在考虑一项计划，允许各国在12月协议范围内灵活地开采更多石油。吉达会议的参与者只包括沙特、俄罗斯、尼日利亚等几个主要产油国的代表，而且不会就产量做出最终决定。官员们表示，某热点国家代表不会参与这次会议，但预计该国的供应风险将受到广泛关注。

欧佩克官员表示，会议可能会针对今年下半年提出一系列建议，这些建议将在计划于6月在维也纳举行的峰会上进行审议。

OPEC, Allies Mulling Easing Oil Cuts at Jeddah Meeting -Sources

OPEC and its allies are set to debate a potential increase in crude output at a meeting in Saudi Arabia on Sunday, as they grapple balancing global oil supply amid tensions the Persian Gulf has not seen in over a decade.

The gathering between the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and a group of oil-producing allies led by Russia will commence nearly a week after two Saudi tankers were sabotaged in an incident.

As a compromise, OPEC is now considering a plan to allow countries the flexibility to pump more oil, as long as they remain within the boundaries of the December deal, said participants at this weekend's meeting. The Jeddah meeting will only gather delegates from a few key producers--including Saudi Arabia, Russia,or Nigeria--and won't make final decisions on output. The hot-point country won't be represent but its supply risk is expected to be widely scrutinized, the officials said.

As a result, the meeting could end with a set of recommendations for the second half of the year to be considered at a planned June summit in Vienna, OPEC officials say.
