欧佩克+减产初具成效

据能源世界网5月21日伦敦报道，欧佩克秘书长表示，欧佩克受到油价上涨和坚决遵守最新减产政策的鼓舞，尽管有消息人士称，欧佩克并未排除支持市场的进一步措施。

从5月1日起，欧佩克、俄罗斯及其盟友以创纪录的970万桶/天减产，以抵消疫情造成的油价和需求下滑。

自四月份创下21年以来的新低16美元以来，油价已翻了一番以上。 两家追踪石油流量的公司表示，5月到目前为止，欧佩克+削减了约600万桶/天的石油出口，这表明遵守该协议的良好开端。

欧佩克秘书长穆罕默德?巴尔金多(Mohammad Barkindo)对路透社(Reuters)表示:“石油市场对这一历史性协议以及各成员国的积极执行做出了积极反应。总而言之，供需基本面正逐渐但稳定地趋于一致。”

一位欧佩克代表私下也表示乐观。然而，尽管价格有所回升，但仍远低于许多国家的预算需求。

该代表谈到减产时表示，这是价格的好兆头。我们很安全，但需要更多时间才能确定（可能要到7月或8月）。

OPEC+将于6月10日召开会议，届时将有一个月的数据来评估该协议。

据消息人士称，欧佩克+可能会在6月之后保持目前的减产水平，而不是像目前商定的那样从7月开始缩减供应量。

欧佩克的另一位代表表示，有很好的迹象表明遵守法规，我们最近看到价格上涨。但是市场仍然动荡，让我们拭目以待。

OPEC chief says oil market responding well to record OPEC+ cut

OPEC is encouraged by a rally in oil prices and strong adherence to its latest output cut, its secretary general said, although sources say the group has not ruled out further steps to support the market.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries,Russia and other allies, a group known as OPEC+, are cutting supply by a record 9.7 million barrels per day (bpd) from May 1 to offset a slump in prices and demand caused by the coronavirus outbreak.

Oil prices have more than doubled since hitting a 21-year low below $16 in April. So far in May, OPEC+ has cut oil exports by about 6 million bpd, according to two companies that track the flows, suggesting a strong start in complying with the deal.

"The oil markets have responded positively to the historic agreement, as well as its robust implementation by participating countries," Mohammad Barkindo, OPEC's secretary general, told Reuters.

"All in all there is a gradual but steady convergence of the fundamentals of supply and demand."

An OPEC delegate, speaking off the record, was also upbeat. But although prices have rallied, they are still far below the budget needs of many countries.

"This is a good sign for prices," the delegate said of the export cuts. "We are safe, but need more time to be more sure - maybe until July or August."

OPEC+ meets virtually on June 10, when it will have a full month's data on compliance, to review the agreement.

Sources have said OPEC+ may keep the current level of supply reduction after June, rather than scaling it back from July as currently agreed.

"There are good indications on compliance, and we have seen prices improving lately," said another OPEC delegate. "But the market is still volatile, let's wait."
