5月份，沙特的原油日出口量降至700萬桶以下，環比減少38.8萬桶

沙特阿拉伯的原油日產量在同月下降50.2萬桶，這與歐佩克+的承諾一致

沙特阿拉伯還承諾在7月份每天額外減產100萬桶原油產量，并將減產延長至8月份

據油價網2023年7月17日報道，今年5月份，沙特阿拉伯的原油日出口量今年首次跌破700萬桶，原因是這個全球最大的原油出口國和其他幾個歐佩克+大型產油國在5月份開始集體日減160萬桶原油產量。  

沙特聯合數據庫(JODI)周一公布的最新統計數據顯示，沙特阿拉伯5月份原油日出口量比4月份減少38.8萬桶至693萬桶。

根據JODI公布的數據，4月份，沙特阿拉伯的原油日出口量比3月份下降了20.7萬桶，至732萬桶，達到前5個月的最低點。JODI匯編了許多國家的自主報告數據。

根據國際能源論壇(IEF)7月17日公布的數據，沙特阿拉伯5月份的原油日產量下降了50.2萬桶至996萬桶。

5月份的原油產量下降符合該國日減50萬桶原油產量的承諾，這是歐佩克+減產協議的一部分，其中還包括產能大國、阿拉伯聯合酋長國、伊拉克和其他幾個歐佩克+產油國的減產。

4月初，中東最大的歐佩克產油國和歐佩克+協議的其他幾個成員國宣布，在今年5月至12月期間，每天減產160萬桶原油產量。

在歐佩克+減產協議中，沙特阿拉伯表示將每天減少50萬桶的原油產量，并表示此舉是“旨在支持石油市場穩定的預防措施”。

為了推高油價，或者像沙特阿拉伯和歐佩克所說的那樣“穩定市場”，沙特阿拉伯上個月還宣布單方面將7月份的原油日產量再削減100萬桶，而承諾在5月至12月期間減產的歐佩克+產油國將減產時間延長至2024年。7月早些時候，沙特阿拉伯表示，將把單方面減產延長至8月份，7月份和8月份的原油日產量將在900萬桶左右。

由于沙特阿拉伯開始單方面減產，該國將失去其作為歐佩克+最大產油國的地位，7月份和8月份的原油產量將降至兩年來的最低水平。如果不考慮疫情期間的大幅減產，沙特阿拉伯的原油日產量僅為900萬桶左右，將是這個全球最大原油出口國自2011年以來的原油產量最低水平。

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.
