尽管加速减产 但俄罗斯没有达到欧佩克+协议目标

据今日油价网站4月2日消息 俄罗斯能源部周二公布的数据显示，俄罗斯3月份继续逐步减少石油产量，但未达到欧佩克+协议下的减产目标。

俄罗斯能源部长Alexander Novak在能源部发表的一份声明中称，截至3月底，俄罗斯石油产量比10月减少了22.5万桶/日，不包括产量分成协议（PSA）的产量，而如果考虑到PSA，俄罗斯石油产量比10月减少了19万桶/日。

作为1月至6月欧佩克+减产的一部分，俄罗斯在非欧佩克的减产中占据最大份额，并承诺将减产23万桶/日，从10月前俄罗斯创下的1142.1万桶/日的纪录水平降至1119.1万桶/日。

根据能源部以吨为单位的数据，俄罗斯3月份的产量为1129.8万桶/日，路透社则以7.33桶/吨的比率计算，以百万桶/日为单位。

3月初，Novak表示，俄罗斯将加快石油减产，并计划在3月底或4月初达到其在欧佩克/非欧佩克减产中的份额。

然而莫斯科一再表示，由于俄罗斯寒冷冬季的天气和地质条件，它不能过快地削减石油产量。

1月中旬，沙特阿拉伯能源部长Khalid al-Falih表示，自2017年初以来，俄罗斯在所有欧佩克/非欧佩克生产政策协议中都表示，减产速度要比预计得慢。

俄罗斯石油生产商卢克石油公司总裁兼首席执行官Vagit Alekperov上月表示，俄罗斯石油公司目前一直坚持到6月份的减产计划，但他们尚未讨论下半年的生产计划，并已决定在4月后进行减产。

上周，有报道称，俄罗斯一直是欧佩克+削减计划中不情愿的参与者，可能不支持将协议延长整整六个月直到今年年底。

Despite Accelerated Cuts, Russia Misses OPEC+ Deal Target

Russia continued to gradually reduce oil production in March, but it missed its production cut target under the OPEC+ deal, data from Russia’s Energy Ministry showed on Tuesday.

As at the end of March, Russia cut its oil production by 225,000 bpd compared to October, excluding output from production sharing agreements (PSAs), while production was reduced by 190,000 bpd from October levels, if PSAs are taken into account, Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said in a statement carried by the Energy Ministry. 

As part of the OPEC+ production cuts between January and June, Russia is taking the lion’s share of the non-OPEC cuts and pledged to reduce production by 230,000 bpd from October’s post-Soviet record level of 11.421 million bpd, to 11.191 million bpd.

Russian production in March stood at 11.298 million bpd, according to energy ministry data in tons, calculated in million bpd by Reuters using a 7.33 barrels/tons ratio.

In early March, Novak said that Russia would speed up its oil production cuts and plans to reach its share of the OPEC/non-OPEC output reduction by end-March or early April.

Moscow, however, has repeatedly said that due to weather and geological conditions in the cold Russian winter, it cannot cut its oil production too quickly.

In mid-January, 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—had said that Russia was moving with the cuts “slower than I’d like.”

Russian oil companies are currently sticking to the production cuts through June, but they have not discussed production plans for the second half of the year and have decided that they would do so after April, Vagit Alekperov, president and CEO of Russian oil producer Lukoil, said last month.

Last week, reports had it that Russia—always the reluctant actor in OPEC+ cuts extensions—may not support an extension of the deal for the full six months until the end of the year.
