据今日原油价格网3月18日消息，今年年初，沙特阿拉伯的原油出口继续下降，此前欧佩克最大的石油生产国去年12月开始大幅削减石油供应，以防止再次出现供过于求的情况，而沙特阿拉伯则表示将进一步削减石油供应。

联合组织数据倡议(JODI)数据库收集了114个国家的自报数据，根据该数据库的数据，今年1月，沙特原油出口量从2018年12月的每日7687万桶下降至7254万桶。

在2018年的最后一个月，欧佩克的实际领导人和欧佩克的主要盟友俄罗斯意识到，如果他们不实施新一轮的削减措施（即从1月开始实施的削减措施），他们的先发制人产量将上升。

沙特阿拉伯的原油出口量从11月的两年来最高点下降到12月的768.7万桶/天，降幅近55万桶/天，原因是在美国给予8个伊朗客户豁免后，沙特阿拉伯开始限制供应，市场转向供过于求。

11月，沙特阿拉伯的原油出口月环比增长53.4万桶，达到824万桶，创两年来的最高水平。

Saudi Arabia Continues To Cut Crude Oil Exports

Saudi Arabia’s crude oil exports continued to fall at the start of this year after OPEC’s largest producer started to aggressively cut oil supply in December last year to prevent another glut, while the Kingdom signals that further cuts are coming.

According to data by the Joint Organisations Data Initiative (JODI) database, which collects self-reported figures from 114 countries, Saudi crude oil exports dropped to 7.254 million bpd in January, down from 7.687 million bpd in December 2018.

During the last month of 2018, OPEC’s de facto leader and the cartel’s key ally Russia realized their preemptive production ramp-up to meet a steep Iranian export shortfall would create another glut if they don’t implement another round of cuts, which they did, starting in January.

Saudi Arabia’s crude oil exports plunged by nearly 550,000 bpd to 7.687 million bpd in December, down from a two-year high in November, as the Kingdom started to limit supply after the U.S. granted waivers to eight customers and the market swung into oversupply.

In November, Saudi Arabia’s crude oil exports had jumped by 534,000 bpd month on month to 8.24 million bpd—the highest level in two years.
