據7月15日RT報道,歐佩克及其盟友已達成了一項產量協議,原油價格周四下跌近1%,市場預期原油供應將大幅增加。布倫特原油期貨下跌59美分,至每桶74.17美元,跌幅0.8%。美國原油基準西德克薩斯中質原油價格下跌62美分,至每桶72.51美元,跌幅0.9%。
在周四油價下跌之前,歐佩克+達成石油增產協議的報告一公布,這兩個基準價格都下跌了2%以上。向供應緊張的市場增加石油供給的前景本應在本月早些時候得到解決,但歐佩克+成員國:沙特和阿聯酋之間爆發了爭端。
阿聯酋一直在拖延該協議,不愿將此前達成的減產協議延長至2022年4月以后,除非其產量配額得到提高。據報道,這一妥協在周三達成,此前歐佩克+同意從4月份開始將阿聯酋的基準或最大產量提高到每天365萬桶。基準直接影響減產的實際數量和產量配額。
在疫情期間,石油供應過剩,歐佩克+成員國從其基準上削減了相同的比例。隨著全球正從疫情危機中復蘇,需求不斷增長,擁有更高的基準將使阿聯酋能夠增加石油產量。
多數歐佩克+國家支持的增產協議提出了一項計劃,要求該組織在2022年12月之前將日產量提高至40萬桶。然而,有關這筆交易的報道尚未得到官方證實。

Oil prices slip amid reports of OPEC+ reaching compromise on production boost
Crude prices fell nearly 1% on Thursday with the market bracing for a surge in supplies after reports that an output deal between the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies has been reached.
Brent crude futures were down 59 cents, or 0.8%, to $74.17 a barrel. The US crude benchmark West Texas Intermediate dropped 62 cents, or 0.9%, and stood at $72.51 a barrel.
Thursday’s price decline followed another significant drop the previous day, with both benchmarks losing more than 2% after reports came out that OPEC+ reached a deal on an oil production increase.
The prospect of increasing oil supplies to the tight market was due to be settled earlier this month, but a dispute broke out between OPEC+ members, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The UAE was stalling the deal, unwilling to extend the previously reached supply cut agreement beyond April 2022 unless its production quota was raised.
The compromise was reportedly reached on Wednesday after OPEC+ agreed to raise the UAE’s baseline, or the maximum production volume, to 3.65 million barrels a day starting in April.
The baseline directly affects the actual amount of production cuts and output quotas. OPEC+ members cut the same percentage from their baseline during the pandemic, when oil was in oversupply. Having a higher baseline amid growing demand as the world is recovering from the Covid-19 crisis would allow the UAE to pump more.
The output increase agreement backed by most OPEC+ countries laid out a plan for the group to raise production up to 400,000 barrels a day until December 2022. However, the reports of the deal have not been officially /confirm/ied.
