4月石油需求可能每天减少2000万桶

据CNBC网站3月30日消息，石油专家丹·耶尔金（Dan Yergin）本周表示，石油市场正面临“双重危机”，欧佩克+联盟的崩溃影响了供应，世界经济放缓压垮了需求。

耶尔金说：“汽车不在路上，飞机不在空中，工厂不在运转，人们不在工作，” “我们看到，在即将到来的4月份，石油需求可能每天减少2000万桶。”

“这是前所未有的。这是金融危机期间（2008年）最大衰退的六倍，”他补充道。

据欧佩克估计，2019年全球石油日需求量约为9967万桶。

自今年年初以来，原油期货已下跌超过60％。周一下午在亚洲，布伦特原油下跌7.90％，至每桶22.96美元，而西德克萨斯中质原油下跌5.35％，至每桶20.36美元。

耶尔金称，任何可能解决油价战的方案，都需要通过20国集团来实现。他指出，尽管美国和沙特阿拉伯有良好的关系，但华盛顿和莫斯科没有太多的谈判平台。

Oil demand could decline by 20 million barrels a day in April

The oil market is facing a “double crisis” with a collapse in the OPEC+ alliance affecting supply and the slowdown in the world economy crushing demand, oil guru Dan Yergin said this week.

“Cars not on the road, airplanes not in the air, factories not working, people not going to work,” Yergin said. “We see, in this month of April that’s coming, what could be a 20 million barrel a day decline in oil demand.”

“It’s unprecedented. That’s six times larger than the biggest downturn during the financial crisis period (in 2008),” he added.

World oil demand in 2019 stood at around 99.67 million barrels a day, according to OPEC’s estimate.

Crude futures have fallen well over 60% since the beginning of the year. On Monday afternoon in Asia, Brent was trading down 7.90% at $22.96 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate had fallen 5.35% to $20.36 a barrel.

Yergin also said any possible solution to the oil price war is likely to come through the G-20, which includes other oil-producing countries. He noted that while the U.S. and Saudi Arabia have a good relationship, Washington and Moscow don’t have many platforms to talk.
