据油价网2022年9月19日报道,美国彭博新闻社周一援引了解阿联酋新增产计划的消息人士的话报道称,欧佩克主要成员国之一阿联酋正在加快计划,将其原油日产能提高到500万桶,比原计划提前5年。
阿联酋和沙特阿拉伯被认为是世界上仅有的两个目前还有一些备用原油产能的原油生产国之一。
阿布扎比国家石油公司(ADNOC)多年来一直计划在2030年前将其原油日产能从目前的400万桶提高到500万桶。
但现在,生产阿联酋几乎所有原油的ADNOC将这一目标实现日期提前至2025年。ADNOC和阿联酋此前曾考虑将这一目标从2030年提前至2027年,但现在据报道,他们计划到2025年前将原油日产能提高100万桶。
由于全球原油消费预计在本世纪30年代的某个时候将趋于稳定,因此,ADNOC和阿联酋可以利用全球原油需求持续增长和高油价的优势增加原油产量。
然而,据彭博社消息人士称,加速增加原油产能可能是一次非常昂贵的努力。
ADNOC在给彭博社的一份声明中表示:“由于我们接受能源转型和我们的业务具有前瞻性,我们将继续探索可以进一步释放价值、释放资本和提高回报的潜在机会。”但ADNOC没有评论2030年500万桶的原油日产能目标是否已经改变。
阿联酋被认为是目前全球少数几个能够利用备用产能提高原油产量的产油国之一。然而,由于全球备用产能处于极低水平,阿联酋、沙特阿拉伯或欧佩克都不急于使用更多的备用产能,特别是考虑到短期内全球原油需求的诸多不确定性。

The UAE Plans To Ramp Up Its Oil Production Capacity
The United Arab Emirates (UAE), one of OPEC’s key members, is accelerating plans to raise its oil production capacity to 5 million barrels per day (bpd) five years earlier than planned, Bloomberg reported on Monday, quoting sources with knowledge of the new plans.
The UAE is thought to be one of the only two oil producers in the world—together with Saudi Arabia—with some spare oil production capacity currently left.
Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has had for years planned to boost its oil production capacity from 4 million bpd currently to 5 million bpd by 2030.
But now ADNOC, which produces nearly all the crude in the UAE, is moving that target date forward to as soon as 2025. The company and the UAE had considered moving the target ahead to 2027 from 2030, but now they are reportedly planning to have the capacity raised by 1 million bpd by 2025.
ADNOC and the UAE could thus take advantage of still rising global oil demand and high oil prices before consumption is expected to plateau at some point in the 2030s, according to most estimates.
However, accelerating the increase in oil production capacity could be a very costly endeavor, according to Bloomberg’s sources.
“As we embrace the energy transition and future-proof our business, we will continue to explore potential opportunities that can further unlock value, free up capital and enhance returns,” Adnoc said in a statement to Bloomberg, without commenting on whether the 2030 target for 5 million bpd production capacity had been changed.
The UAE is considered one of the very few oil producers currently capable of ramping up production using some spare capacity left. However, with global spare capacity at critically low levels, neither the UAE, Saudi Arabia, or OPEC, for that matter, are in a rush to use more of their spare capacity, especially in view of many uncertainties in global oil demand in the short term.
