海湾新闻18日报道，据路透社消息，为了抑制不断增长的石油需求，欧佩克周日同意从下个月开始提高石油产量，从而结束了持续数周的减产会议对峙僵局。这场僵局将油价推高至近三年高点。
经过两周紧张的讨论，欧佩克+同意从8月份开始，将石油产量每月增加40万桶/天，直到恢复疫情前的产能。直到年底，该组织将石油产量增加200万桶/天。
在去年每日减产约1000万桶之后，石油生产国的供应量仍比疫情前减少约580万桶，这意味着周日协议将在2022年9月前将产量恢复到疫情前的水平；该组织将在12月重新评估这一决定。
在一份声明中，欧佩克将油价上涨归因于“市场基本面的持续增强”，指出石油需求“显示出明显的改善迹象”，以及随着全球经济因加速接种疫苗计划而加速增长，石油库存下降。
此前，做为主要产油国的阿联酋本月早些时候搁置了协议谈判，因为该协议将石油产量限制延长到了2022年底左右。沙特阿拉伯等的产油国认为，为了防止石油供应过剩导致油价下跌，这是必要的。沙特阿拉伯上周同意提高这些产量。
自沙特阿拉伯和阿联酋达成协议以来，西德克萨斯中质原油价格已下跌近5%，周日约为每桶72美元，但仍处于2018年10月以来的最高水平。到3月份，油价收复了疫情造成的所有市场失地，自那以后又上涨了约20%。
欧佩克将在9月1日再次召开会议，评估市场状况，并决定10月份是否需要调整产量水平。
尽管放松了封锁，并加快了疫苗的推出，但在去年春天过剩的库存导致历史上首次负油价后，生产商一直在谨慎地增加供应。2020年3月，石油生产大国俄罗斯和沙特阿拉伯之间爆发了一场全面的价格战。维持成本高昂的储油罐很快就空了，美国一份石油期货合约的价格在2020年4月跌至零以下。石油输出国组织及其盟友同意减产以稳定油价，但据国际能源机构称，这些库存至今仍在消化中。

OPEC+ agrees oil supply boost from August as prices surge
OPEC+ to ease cuts by 2 million barrels per day until year end
OPEC+ ministers agreed on Sunday to boost oil supply from August to cool prices which have climbed to 2-1/2 year highs.
London: OPEC+ ministers agreed on Sunday to boost oil supply from August to cool prices which have climbed to 2-1/2 year highs as the global economy recovers from the coronavirus pandemic.
The group, which includes OPEC countries and allies like Russia, crucially agreed new production allocations from May 2022.
OPEC+ last year cut production by a record 10 million barrels per day (bpd) amid a pandemic-induced slump in demand and collapsing prices. It has gradually reinstated some supply to leave it with a reduction of about 5.8 million bpd.
From August until December 2021 the group will increase supply by a further 2 million bpd or 0.4 million bpd a month, OPEC said in a statement.
The group had agreed to extend their overall pact until the end of 2022 from an earlier planned date of April 2022, to leave more room for manoeuvre in case global recovery stalls due to new virus variants.
Whilst both Riyadh and the UAE had been supportive of an immediate output boost, the UAE had objected to the Saudi idea to extend the pact to December 2022 without getting a higher production quota.
To overcome the disagreement, OPEC+ agreed new output quotas for several members from May 2022, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Kuwait and Iraq.
The overall adjustment will add 1.63 million bpd to supply from May next year, according to Reuters calculations.
The UAE will see its baseline production, from which cuts are being calculated, increase to 3.5 million bpd from May 2022 from today's 3.168 million.
Saudi and Russia will see their baselines rise to 11.5 million bpd each from the current 11 million.
