据卡尔加里彭博社1月10日消息，尽管加拿大重油价格飙升，但阿尔伯塔省政府2月份的强制减产仍维持在1月份的水平。

据能源部发言人麦克·麦金农（Mike McKinnon）的一封电子邮件称，该省的石油生产商必须将2月份的石油日产量削减32.5万桶。削减的基准是从2017年11月1日开始的一年期内最高的单月产量。

阿尔伯塔省总理瑞秋·诺特利（RachelNotley）周四在埃德蒙顿附近的一次活动中对记者说：“我们已经看到市场对减产做出了相当明确的反应。”“我们计划应对油价的大幅波动”。

诺特利在12月2日宣布了这项减产措施，以缓解由于管道上的空间太小而导致的生产过剩。诺特利说，此举旨在减少当地库存，并将在今年12月31日前逐步减少达到95000桶/天。

12月底，为了回应石油生产商的投入，阿尔伯塔省从2月开始放宽了有关减产的规定。修订后的法规允许一些生产商比原本允许的更多地抽水。他们还调整了公司的基准生产水平，以使仍在快速增长的新项目不会受到不利影响。

麦金农周二在一封电子邮件中说，政府的规定使阿尔伯塔能源监管机构能够对未能遵守减产规定的公司实施行政处罚。

Alberta keeps oil cuts at January Level as prices surge

Alberta’s government maintained its mandated oil curtailment in February at the same level as January even as Canadian heavy oil prices surged.

The province’s oil producers collectively must cut February output by 325,000 bpd, according to an email from Mike McKinnon, an energy ministry spokesman. The baseline for the cuts is the highest single month of production during a one-year period starting Nov. 1, 2017.

“We have seen the market respond quite definitively” to the curtailments, Alberta Premier Rachel Notley told reporters at an event near Edmonton Thursday. “We are planning for a lot of volatility” in oil prices.

Notley on Dec. 2 announced the cuts in an effort to alleviate a glut caused by too much production encountering too little space on pipelines. The move was designed to reduce local stockpiles and will be phased out throughout this year to 95,000 bpd by Dec. 31, Notley said.

At the end of December, Alberta eased the rules around the curtailments starting in February in response to input from oil producers. The revised regulations allow some producers to pump more than would otherwise have been allowed. They also adjusted companies’ baseline production levels so that new projects still in the process of ramping up won’t be adversely affected.

Government regulations enable the Alberta Energy Regulator to impose administrative penalties on companies that fail to comply with the curtailment orders, McKinnon said in an email Tuesday.
