据今日油价8月23日报道,世界最大的石油出口国沙特阿拉伯6月份的原油出口量降至历史最低水平,略低于500万桶/天,作为欧佩克+的主要领导国家,正努力从市场上截留创纪录数量的原油,以应对需求锐减。根据联合组织数据倡议(JODI)的数据,沙特6月原油出口量较5月锐减17.3%,为每日498万桶。
自今年3月以来,沙特的原油出口量与最近五年的出口水平差距很大,在4月跳升至逾1000万桶/天,当时沙特兑现了在先前的欧佩克+协议破裂后向市场大量供应石油的承诺。JODI今年早些时候的数据显示,沙特阿拉伯今年4月的石油日出口量达到创纪录的1023.7万桶,高于3月的739.1万桶。
5月,沙特原油出口量从上月的逾1000万桶/天锐减至602万桶/天,此前欧佩克+达成新协议提振市场,并积极消除供过于求的局面。4月份,全球原油需求锐减2000万桶/天。
6月,沙特阿拉伯在原计划每日减产250万桶的基础上,主动再减产100万桶。根据JODI数据库发布的数据,沙特6月包括原油和石油产品在内的石油出口总量环比进一步下滑,下降141万桶/天至607万桶/天。该数据库收集了114个国家的自报数据。
尽管欧佩克+在8月1日已经放松减产限制,但沙特阿拉伯已经暗示,本月不会急于大幅增加原油出口。

Saudi Arabia’s Crude Oil Exports Dip To Record Low In June
The world’s top oil exporter, Saudi Arabia, saw its crude oil exports in June drop to their lowest on record at just below 5 million barrels per day (bpd), as OPEC’s de facto leader led efforts from the OPEC+ group to withhold a record amount of crude from the market in response to the crash in demand.
According to data from the Joint Organisations Data Initiative (JODI), Saudi Arabia’s crude oil exports plunged by 17.3 percent in June compared to May, to stand at 4.98 million bpd.
Since March this year, Saudi crude oil exports have diverged a lot from the latest five-year range, jumping to more than 10 million bpd in April, when the Kingdom made good on its promise to flood the market with oil after the collapse of the previous OPEC+ deal. Saudi Arabia exported a record 10.237 million bpd in April 2020, up from 7.391 million bpd in March, JODI data showed earlier this year.
In May, Saudi crude oil exports plunged to 6.02 million bpd from more than 10 million bpd in the previous month, after OPEC+ reached a new deal to prop up the market and erase the glut that was building while global demand was crashing by 20 million bpd in April.
June was also the month in which Saudi Arabia voluntarily slashed its oil production by an additional 1 million bpd on top of the 2.5 million bpd it was supposed to cut.
Total Saudi oil exports, including crude oil and oil products, fell further month-on-month in June – by 1.41 million bpd to 6.07 million bpd, according to the data released by the JODI database, which collects self-reported figures from 114 countries.
Despite the easing of the OPEC+ cuts as of August 1, Saudi Arabia has signaled it would not rush to ramp up its crude oil exports significantly this month.
