俄能源部长:不能迅速削减石油产量

据1月17日油气新闻报道，俄罗斯能源部长Alexander Novak周四表示，由于俄罗斯寒冷冬季的天气和地质条件，俄罗斯不可能过快减产。Novak重申了莫斯科方面的承诺，即坚持欧佩克+的新协议，并逐步减产。

Novak指出，俄罗斯将努力更快地削减石油产量。

几天前，沙特阿拉伯能源部长Khalid al-Falih表示，俄罗斯的减产速度“比我希望的要慢”。

“俄罗斯已经开始了，比我希望的要慢，但他们已经开始了，我相信他们会像2017年那样迎头赶上，为重新平衡市场做出积极贡献，”al-Falih周日对CNBC表示。

根据新的欧佩克+协议，俄罗斯将在2019年1月1日起的6个月内削减原油日产量22.8万桶，并有可能在4月进行评估。

Novak在去年12月达成协议后表示，俄罗斯石油公司将在2019年第一季度减产。

Novak曾表示，作为欧佩克+新协议的一部分，俄罗斯计划在1月将石油日产量削减5万桶至6万桶，且不会在协议开始时直接减产22.8万桶。Novak说，俄罗斯已经起草了一份时间表，规定在达到欧佩克/非欧佩克减产比例之前，俄罗斯每月将减少多少石油产量。Novak重申了莫斯科的立场，即俄罗斯的减产将是渐进的，就像欧佩克与俄罗斯领导的非欧佩克成员国之前达成的协议一样。

Novak上周五表示，俄罗斯已经与10月的削减基准相比削减了约3万桶/天的产量，并仍打算在本月底前达到5万桶/天的削减。

今天，Novak告诉俄罗斯新闻社俄新社，他将在下周的达沃斯世界经济论坛上与al-Falih会面，讨论联合项目、合作以及欧佩克+协议的实施。

Due to weather and geological conditions in the cold Russian winter, Russia cannot cut its oil production too quickly, Energy Minister Alexander Novak said on Thursday, reiterating Moscow's commitment to stick to the new OPEC+ deal and to gradually reduce production.

Russia will try to cut its oil production faster, Novak noted.

A few days ago, Khalid al-Falih, the energy minister of Saudi Arabia—the OPEC kingpin and key Russian ally in all OPEC/non-OPEC production policy deals since early 2017—said that Russia was moving with the cuts “slower than I’d like.”

“Russia has started, slower than I’d like, but they’ve started, and I am sure as they did as in 2017 they’ll catch up and be a positive contributor to re-balancing the market,” al-Falih told CNBC on Sunday.

The new OPEC+ deal, under which Russia will be cutting 228,000 bpd, is for a six-month period starting January 1, 2019 with an option to review in April.

Russian oil companies will reduce their production by that amount during the first quarter of 2019, Novak said after the agreement was reached in December.

Novak has said that Russia is planning to reduce its oil production by 50,000 bpd to 60,000 bpd in January as part of the new OPEC+ deal, and will not be cutting its 228,000-bpd share outright at the start of the agreement. Russia has already drafted a timetable for how much oil production it would reduce each month until it reaches its share of the OPEC/non-OPEC production cut, Novak said, reaffirming Moscow’s position that its reduction would be gradual, just like in the previous agreement between OPEC and the Russia-led non-OPEC partners.

Last Friday, Novak said that Russia had already cut production by some 30,000 bpd compared with October—the baseline for the cuts—and still aimed to reach a cut of 50,000 bpd by the end of this month.

Today, Novak told Russian news agency RIA Novosti that he would be meeting with al-Falih at the World Economic Forum in Davos next week to discuss joint projects, cooperation, and the implementation of the OPEC+ deal.​
