歐佩克第二大成員國(guó)表示將遵守減產(chǎn)協(xié)議

據(jù)今日油價(jià)網(wǎng)站報(bào)道，作為歐佩克第二大產(chǎn)油國(guó)的伊拉克，也是該組織自2017年開(kāi)始實(shí)行減產(chǎn)以來(lái)最不聽(tīng)話(huà)的成員國(guó)，如今它終于開(kāi)始履行義務(wù)了。

熟悉情況的消息人士周二對(duì)彭博社表示，伊拉克國(guó)家石油銷(xiāo)售組織已詢(xún)問(wèn)部分購(gòu)買(mǎi)伊拉克巴士拉原油的亞洲買(mǎi)家，是否可以放棄本月和下月的部分合約貨物。

伊拉克要求買(mǎi)家在這幾個(gè)月放棄部分貨物的要求表明，這一次，伊拉克可能會(huì)認(rèn)真地嘗試在歐佩克+減產(chǎn)中合作。

伊拉克(以及尼日利亞)5月未能完全遵守歐佩克+減產(chǎn)協(xié)議的舉動(dòng)，幾乎讓上周的減產(chǎn)延長(zhǎng)討論會(huì)議毀于一旦。

歐佩克+周六同意延長(zhǎng)減產(chǎn)到7月底。

在會(huì)議前，伊拉克副總理兼代理石油部長(zhǎng)阿里·阿拉維表示，他的國(guó)家將進(jìn)一步減少石油產(chǎn)量，因?yàn)樗匀粫?huì)遵守OPEC+協(xié)議。

在歐佩克會(huì)議結(jié)束后的視頻新聞發(fā)布會(huì)上，沙特能源部長(zhǎng)阿卜杜勒-阿齊茲·本·薩勒曼王子周一強(qiáng)調(diào)稱(chēng)，“我們沒(méi)有任何不一致的余地?！?/span>

歐佩克在周二的新聞發(fā)布會(huì)上表示，今天，伊拉克新任石油部長(zhǎng)伊赫桑?阿卜杜勒?賈巴爾?伊斯梅爾在與沙特石油部長(zhǎng)通電話(huà)時(shí)證實(shí)，“伊拉克將承諾完全減產(chǎn)。盡管面臨經(jīng)濟(jì)和金融挑戰(zhàn)，伊拉克仍將在2020年6月和7月自愿進(jìn)行石油產(chǎn)量調(diào)整，以及7月底之后的自愿調(diào)整?！?/span>

Is OPEC’s No.2 Finally Complying With Output Cuts?

OPEC’s second-largest producer, Iraq, which also happens to be the least compliant member of OPEC+ since the group started managing supply to the market in 2017, may have finally started taking its obligations seriously.

Iraq’s State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO) has asked some of the Asian buyers of its Basrah crude grades if they could give up delivery of some already contracted cargoes for loading this month and next, sources familiar with the matter told Bloomberg News on Tuesday.

The request for buyers to forgo some cargoes for those months suggests that this time, Iraq may be earnest in its attempt to play ball in the OPEC+ production cuts, after being the biggest cheater in all previous pacts.

Iraq’s (as well as Nigeria’s) non-compliance with the record OPEC+ cuts in May nearly wrecked last week’s meeting of the pact, ahead of which the two leaders of the group, Saudi Arabia and Russia, had insisted that there would be an extension by one month to the current level of cuts only if laggards in compliance ensured over-compliance going forward to compensate for flouting their quotas so far.

OPEC+ agreed on Saturday to extend the record production cuts of 9.7 million bpd by one month through the end of July, contingent on all countries in the pact complying 100 percent with their quotas and compensating for lack of compliance by overachieving in the cuts in July, August, and September.

Before the meeting, Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister and then-acting Oil Minister, Ali Allawi, vowed that his country would further reduce production as it remains committed to the OPEC+ pact.

At the video news conference following the OPEC+ meeting, Saudi Arabia’s Energy Minister, Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, emphatically said on Monday that “We have no room whatsoever for lack of conformity.”

Today, Iraq’s new Oil Minister, Ihsan Abdul Jabbar Ismaael, confirmed in a phone call with his Saudi counterpart Iraq’s “full commitment” to the cuts, OPEC said in a press release on Tuesday. Iraq confirms “its commitment to the voluntary oil production adjustments of June and July 2020, as well as the voluntary adjustments for the period following the end of July, despite the economic and financial challenges,” Ismaael told the Saudi energy minister.
