据今日油价8月31日报道，路透社调查发现，得益于伊拉克和尼日利亚，OPEC上月产量增加。

据统计，欧佩克8月份的日产量为2961万桶，比7月份的日产量高出8万桶。增产令人惊讶，因为伊朗和委内瑞拉的减产并非出于自愿，而且在维持石油产量方面仍面临着艰难的战斗。沙特阿拉伯也像预期的那样再次超额履行减产协议，但8月份的产量略高于7月份。总的来说，该组织仍在过度遵守减产配额。

这使得欧佩克8月份的减产执行率136%，这要归功于伊拉克和尼日利亚，他们分别提高了8万桶/天和6万桶/天的产量。尽管沙特阿拉伯的石油减产量仍然超标，但它在8月份提高了产量，日产量为963万桶。

8月份，伊拉克、尼日利亚和沙特阿拉伯的石油产量有所增加，但伊朗的石油产量则进一步下降——当月每天减少5万桶。

路透社上周报道，伊朗7月份的石油和凝析油出口量降至每天12万桶。伊朗7月份的日产量为221万桶。相比之下，2018年全年的平均日产量为355万桶。

上周五油价大幅下跌，而欧佩克本月增产的消息可能会进一步压低油价。美国东部时间下午3点26分，西德克萨斯中质原油(WTI)跌3.14%，至54.93美元/桶，布伦特原油(Brent crude)跌2.66%，至58.88美元/桶。

OPEC Abandons “Whatever It Takes Strategy”, Boosts Production

OPEC’s production increased in August thanks to Iraq and Nigeria a Reuters survey found on Friday.

OPEC’s August production has been estimated at 29.61 million barrels per day, which is 80,000 barrels per day over July’s production level.

The production increase is surprising, given that Iran and Venezuela are producing less not by choice, and continue to face uphill battles when it comes to maintaining their oil production. Saudi Arabia, too, over complied with the production cut deal again as expected, but it raised production for August slightly over July. Overall, the group is still over complying with the production quotas.

This brings OPEC’s compliance for August is now estimated at 136%, no thanks to Iraq and Nigeria, who lifted production by 80,000 barrels per day and 60,000 barrels per day, respectively. And even though Saudi Arabia is still over complying, it lifted production in August to produce 9.63 million barrels per day.

While Iraq, Nigeria, and Saudi Arabia increased production in August, Iran’s production fell further—experiencing a 50,000 barrels per day loss for the month. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo last week said it had successfully removed 2.7 million barrels of oil per day off the oil market since it first sanctioned the country.

Iran’s July oil and condensates exports for July fell to 120,000 barrels per day, Reuters said last week. Iran’s production for July was 2.21 million bpd. This compares to an average daily production rate of 3.55 million barrels for all of 2018.

Oil prices fell sharply on Friday, and news that OPEC’s production increased this month may press further down on prices. At 3:26pm EST, WTI was trading down 3.14% on the day at $54.93 per barrel, while Brent crude was trading at $58.88, down 2.66% on the day.
