沙特阿拉伯5月份原油日出口量跌破700万桶

5月份，沙特的原油日出口量降至700万桶以下，环比减少38.8万桶

沙特阿拉伯的原油日产量在同月下降50.2万桶，这与欧佩克+的承诺一致

沙特阿拉伯还承诺在7月份每天额外减产100万桶原油产量，并将减产延长至8月份

据油价网2023年7月17日报道，今年5月份，沙特阿拉伯的原油日出口量今年首次跌破700万桶，原因是这个全球最大的原油出口国和其他几个欧佩克+大型产油国在5月份开始集体日减160万桶原油产量。  

沙特联合数据库(JODI)周一公布的最新统计数据显示，沙特阿拉伯5月份原油日出口量比4月份减少38.8万桶至693万桶。

根据JODI公布的数据，4月份，沙特阿拉伯的原油日出口量比3月份下降了20.7万桶，至732万桶，达到前5个月的最低点。JODI汇编了许多国家的自主报告数据。

根据国际能源论坛(IEF)7月17日公布的数据，沙特阿拉伯5月份的原油日产量下降了50.2万桶至996万桶。

5月份的原油产量下降符合该国日减50万桶原油产量的承诺，这是欧佩克+减产协议的一部分，其中还包括产能大国、阿拉伯联合酋长国、伊拉克和其他几个欧佩克+产油国的减产。

4月初，中东最大的欧佩克产油国和欧佩克+协议的其他几个成员国宣布，在今年5月至12月期间，每天减产160万桶原油产量。

在欧佩克+减产协议中，沙特阿拉伯表示将每天减少50万桶的原油产量，并表示此举是“旨在支持石油市场稳定的预防措施”。

为了推高油价，或者像沙特阿拉伯和欧佩克所说的那样“稳定市场”，沙特阿拉伯上个月还宣布单方面将7月份的原油日产量再削减100万桶，而承诺在5月至12月期间减产的欧佩克+产油国将减产时间延长至2024年。7月早些时候，沙特阿拉伯表示，将把单方面减产延长至8月份，7月份和8月份的原油日产量将在900万桶左右。

由于沙特阿拉伯开始单方面减产，该国将失去其作为欧佩克+最大产油国的地位，7月份和8月份的原油产量将降至两年来的最低水平。如果不考虑疫情期间的大幅减产，沙特阿拉伯的原油日产量仅为900万桶左右，将是这个全球最大原油出口国自2011年以来的原油产量最低水平。

Saudi Arabia’s Crude Oil Exports Slumped Below 7 Million Bpd In May

·     Saudi Arabia’s crude oil exports fell below 7 million barrels per day in May, falling by 388,000 barrels per day from a month earlier.

·     Saudi Arabia’s production fell by 502,000 barrels per day in the same month, a cut in line with its OPEC+ pledge.

·     Saudi Arabia also pledged to cut an extra 1 million barrels per day in July and to extend that cut into August.

In May, Saudi Arabia’s oil exports plunged below 7 million barrels per day (bpd) for the first time this year as the world’s biggest crude exporter and several other large OPEC+ producers began a collective cut of 1.6 million bpd in May.

Saudi crude exports declined by 388,000 bpd from April to 6.93 million bpd in May, data from the Joint Organizations Data Initiative (JODI) showed on Monday.

In April, Saudi Arabia’s crude exports slumped by 207,000 bpd from March, to 7.32 million bpd – a five-month low at the time, according to JODI, which compiles self-reported data from many countries.

Saudi Arabia’s crude oil production fell by 502,000 bpd, to 9.96 million bpd in May, according to the data reported today by the International Energy Forum (IEF).

The decline in May was in line with the Saudi pledge to reduce production by 500,000 bpd as part of the OPEC+ cut, which also includes cuts from the largger producer, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Iraq, and several other OPEC+ producers.  

In early April, the biggest OPEC producers in the Middle East and several other members of the OPEC+ pact announced a total of 1.6 million bpd of fresh production cuts between May and December 2023.  

In those OPEC+ cuts, Saudi Arabia said it would reduce its crude oil production by 500,000 bpd and said that the move was “a precautionary measure aimed at supporting the stability of the oil market.”

In a bid to push oil prices higher, or “stabilize the market” as Saudi Arabia and OPEC put it, the Kingdom also announced last month a unilateral cut of 1 million bpd to its production for July, while the OPEC+ producers who had pledged cuts between May and December extended those cuts into 2024. Earlier this month, Saudi Arabia said it would extend its unilateral production cut into August, and will be producing around 9 million bpd in both July and August.

Saudi Arabia will lose its status as the largest OPEC+ oil producer as the Kingdom begins the unilateral cut, with output in July and August at the lowest level in two years. Excluding the deep cuts during the pandemic, a Saudi production of just around 9 million bpd would be the lowest level the world’s top crude oil exporter has pumped since 2011.
