俄罗斯承诺将尽快实现最大程度减产

据两名了解俄罗斯5月迄今的石油和凝析油产量的消息人士表示，在新一轮减产中，俄罗斯已接近完成配额。

俄罗斯能源部长Alexander Novak上月接受国际文传电讯社采访时表示，作为欧佩克+协议的一部分，俄罗斯承诺在5月和6月将日产量从2020年2月的基准线削减至850万桶，或从2020年2月起减产约200万桶/天，即减产19%。

俄罗斯不得不将其石油产量从1100万桶/天削减至850万桶/天，许多分析人士预计，莫斯科将无法完全履行减产承诺。俄罗斯能源部副部长帕维尔·索罗金(Pavel Sorokin)本月早些时候表示，俄罗斯希望尽快实现“最大程度的减产”。

据路透社消息人士称，5月1日至19日，俄罗斯石油和凝析油的平均日产量为942万桶。据估计，不包括凝析油产量，俄罗斯今年平均原油日产量为872万桶。这接近850万桶/天的配额。

在新协议达成三周后，俄罗斯和欧佩克主要国家沙特阿拉伯都试图向市场保证，欧佩克+正非常认真地执行市场再平衡任务。

Is Russia Finally Complying With OPEC+ Cuts?

It looks like Russia is really trying to comply with its share of the OPEC+ production cuts this time, unlike in previous deals when it had regularly exceeded its cap, attributing higher production to condensate output.

In the new round of cuts, Russia is said to be nearly complying with its quota, two sources with knowledge of Russia’s oil and condensate production so far in May told Reuters.

As part of the OPEC+ deal, Russia pledged to cut its production to 8.5 million bpd in May and June from a February 2020 baseline, or by around 2 million bpd, or by 19 percent, from February 2020, Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak told Interfax in an interview last month.

Russia has to cut its oil production from around 11 million bpd to 8.5 million bpd—and many analysts expected that Moscow would not be able to fully comply with its share of the cuts, again.

Referring to Russia’s uneasy task to cut 2 million bpd as part of the OPEC+ deal, Russia’s Deputy Energy Minister Pavel Sorokin said earlier this month that Moscow expects to achieve “the maximum reduction level as soon as practicable.”

According to Reuters’ sources, Russia’s combined oil and condensate production averaged 9.42 million barrels per day (bpd) between May 1 and 19. Excluding condensate output, which is not part of the Russian quota within OPEC+ as of this year, crude oil production averaged 8.72 million bpd, as per Reuters estimates. This is close to the 8.5-million-bpd quota, especially considering Russia’s far-from-perfect track record in complying with the cuts.

Three weeks into the new deal, Russia, as well as OPEC’s leader Saudi Arabia, are trying to assure the market that the OPEC+ group is taking the task to rebalance the market very seriously.
