沙特和俄罗斯支持延长石油削减计划

中国石化新闻网讯 据普氏能源资讯6月30日报道，欧佩克及其盟国将在2020年第一季度继续以同样的水平削减石油供应，生产国联盟的实际领导人沙特能源部长法利赫（khalid al-falih）和俄罗斯亚历山大诺瓦克（Alexander Novak）赞同延长石油削减计划，比先前公布的时间更长。

欧佩克和非欧佩克120万桶/天的削减协议将于上周日到期，石油需求增长预测和美国产量飙升，许多部长支持延期，以防止价格进一步下跌。该联盟将于周一和周二在维也纳举行会议，决定如何进行。

法利赫在抵达奥地利首都时表示：石油削减计划最有可能延长9个月，但具体时间须与其他部长会谈。此外，他表示削减的数量应该保持不变，没有必要像阿尔及利亚和伊拉克等一些国家所建议的那样进一步削减。尽管需求增长放缓，但每天市场需求仍超过100万桶，很健康，市场将在6到9个月内保持平衡。

诺瓦克表示，因俄罗斯恶劣的天气条件难以提高产量。季节影响需求，最有可能，最有益的做法是交易延长9个月。此外，清除德鲁日巴管道中受污染的俄罗斯原油也可能进入秋季，影响生产。

围绕该协议的大部分讨论都围绕着年底前的延期展开。俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京（Vladimir Putin）周六在日本举行的20国集团（G20）峰会上会晤沙特王储穆罕默德·本·萨尔曼（Mohammed Bin Salman），并宣布两国在扩大削减方面保持一致后，首次提出了达成9个月协议的可能性。

欧佩克将于周一举行会议，俄罗斯和其他九个非欧佩克合作伙伴将于周二举行会谈。

Saudi energy minister backs OPEC+ oil cut extension, after Putin, MBS meet

OPEC and its allies appear set to continue their oil supply cuts at the same levels through the first quarter of 2020, with the de facto leaders of the producer coalition -- Saudi energy minister Khalid al-Falih and Russian counterpart Alexander Novak -- endorsing a longer extension than previously signalled.

The OPEC/non-OPEC 1.2 million b/d cut agreement expires Sunday, and tepid oil demand growth forecasts and surging US production have many ministers backing a rollover to keep prices from slumping further. The coalition will meet in Vienna on Monday and Tuesday to decide how to proceed.

"I think it's most likely [an extension for] nine months, but we have to talk to other ministers," Falih said on arrival in the Austrian capital early Sunday. "My preference is for nine months."

He added that the cut volumes should remain the same and that he saw no need for deeper cuts, as some countries, such as Algeria and Iraq, have suggested. Even though demand growth was softening, "it's still healthy, more than 1 million b/d" and the market will balance in six to nine months, Falih said.

Novak said Saturday that continuing the cuts through March would take the agreement through winter, when Russia finds it harder to raise output due to harsh weather conditions.

"In the winter period it would be difficult to exit the deal, when demand is falling and in the summer period, demand rises. Therefore, it is most likely, most beneficial, to extend the deal for nine months," Novak said, according to the Prime news agency.

Cleanup of contaminated Russian crude in the Druzhba pipeline could also run into autumn, impacting production.

Much of the talk surrounding the agreement had centered around an extension through the end of the year. Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday first floated the possibility of a nine-month deal, after meeting Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the G20 summit in Japan and declaring that the two countries were aligned on extending the cuts.

Any OPEC agreement would require a unanimous vote. OPEC will meet Monday, and Russia and the nine other non-OPEC partners in the cut accord will have talks on Tuesday.
