据今日油价1月12日报道，欧佩克不仅在2019年12月继续削减原油产量，而且还比原计划提前一个月实现了2020年第一季度的最大减产目标。
如果像往常一样，并非所有欧佩克成员国都遵守其12月宽松的配额，而且欧佩克最大的产油国沙特阿拉伯仍在独自艰苦努力，为其他一些产油国的不尽责行为做出补偿，那么这一成就可能看起来并不那么显著。
与前几个月一样，沙特阿拉伯大幅超额完成了减产，帮助欧佩克提前一个月实现了新的减产标准。沙特阿拉伯12月石油日产量为982万桶。这远低于去年12月1030万桶/天的配额，甚至低于沙特2020年第一季度1014万桶/天的新配额。
沙特仍在补偿欧佩克成员国伊拉克和尼日利亚两国未遵守的2019年12月的产量配额。
调查显示，欧佩克12月原油日产量为2955万桶，较11月减少10万桶。截至今年1月，10个欧佩克成员国的原油产量为2506万桶/天，略低于2515万桶/天的最高限额。

OPEC Is Making Even Deeper Cuts Than Planned
OPEC not only continued to cut its crude oil production in December 2019, but it also managed to reach its deeper-cut target for Q1 2020 a month earlier than planned.
The achievement may not look that remarkable if one considers that, as usual, not all cartel members respected their December—looser—quotas, and that OPEC’s largest producer and de facto leader, Saudi Arabia, still did the heavy lifting and compensated for the cheating of some other producers.
As in all previous months, Saudi Arabia overcomplied significantly with its share of the cuts, helping the cartel achieve the new quota effective January a month early. Saudi Arabia’s December oil production was 9.82 million bpd. This is way below the December quota of 10.3 million bpd and even below the new Q1 2020 Saudi quota of 10.14 million bpd.
The Saudis were still compensating for rogue OPEC members Iraq and Nigeria, which, despite cutting their respective production, were still not complying with their December quotas.
OPEC’s total crude oil production stood at 29.55 million bpd in December, down by 100,000 bpd compared to November, according to the survey.
December’s crude oil production at the 10 OPEC members that have the stricter quotas as of January—with Venezuela, Libya, and Iran exempt and Ecuador leaving OPEC on January 1—was 25.06 million bpd, just below the combined new ceiling of the 10 producers with quotas—25.15 million bpd, Platts’ survey shows.
