俄罗斯7月石油产量同比下降16％

据油价网8月3日报道，国际文传电讯社（Interfax）报道的政府数据显示，7月俄罗斯石油公司的产量比去年同期减少了16％。

7月俄罗斯的日均产量为3963万吨，按每吨石油7.33桶的转换率等于935万桶。然而，路透社援引能源部的数据显示，日均产量为937万桶，略高于6月份的932万桶。该能源部评论道，这一生产率符合俄罗斯对欧佩克+减产协议的承诺。

俄罗斯和沙特阿拉伯是欧佩克+组织减产幅度最大的国家之一，为每日200万桶。这一减产水平花了一段时间才实现，从本月开始，该公司将把日均产量提高约40万桶，因欧佩克+4月达成的最大幅度减产在7月底到期。

根据最初的协议，欧佩克+计划在5月和6月这两个月的时间里，日减产970万桶，然后将削减降至每天770万桶，并一直持续到年底。从2021年1月起，减产幅度将进一步降至580万桶/天，并一直持续到2022年4月底。

尽管外界猜测欧佩克+可能决定将最大幅度的减产延长至7月底之后，但欧佩克+并没有这么做，尽管国际基准价格仍远低于中东产油国所能接受的水平。

如今油价也下跌了，因为市场对大多数欧佩克+成员国开始放松减产做出了反应，除了伊拉克、尼日利亚和安哥拉，这些国家在最初几个月的减产中没有遵守产量配额。

Russian Oil Output Falls 16% In July

Russian oil companies pumped 16 percent less oil last month than a year earlier, government data reported by Interfax showed.

At 39.63 million tons, Russia’s average daily output for July was equal to 9.35 million bpd based on a conversion rate of 7.33 barrels per metric ton of oil. Reuters, however, cited Energy Ministry data that showed a daily average of 9.37 million barrels, which was slightly higher than the June average, which stood at 9.32 million bpd. The ministry commented that this rate of production was in line with Russia’s commitment to the OPEC+ production cut deal.

Russia had one of the deepest production cut quotas in the OPEC+ group along with Saudi Arabia, at 2 million bpd. It took a while to achieve this level of output reduction, and starting from this month, it will increase the average daily output by some 400,000 bpd as the deepest cuts OPEC+ agreed in April expired at the end of July.

According to the original agreement, OPEC+ was to cut 9.7 million bpd in combined production for two months—May and June—and then ease these to 7.7 million bpd, to stay in effect until the end of the year. Then, from January 2021, the production cuts would be further eased to 5.8 million bpd, to remain in effect until end-April 2022.

While there has been speculation that the group may decide to extend the deepest cuts beyond the end of July, OPEC+ has stopped short of doing that even though international benchmark prices are still a lot lower than Middle Eastern producers are comfortable with.

Prices fell today, too, as the market reacted to the start of production cut relaxation for most OPEC+ members, except laggards Iraq, Nigeria, and Angola, which failed to comply with their production quotas in the first couple of months of cuts.
