據(jù)原油新聞2020年4月3日倫敦報(bào)道，歐佩克成員國科威特計(jì)劃將其石油日產(chǎn)量提高至315萬桶，比過去兩個(gè)月日增近50萬桶，這得益于科威特和沙特阿拉伯共同擁有的中立區(qū)油田恢復(fù)生產(chǎn)。

科威特國家通訊社3日報(bào)道說，科威特石油公司副董事長哈希姆表示，該公司3月份石油日產(chǎn)量已飆升至近290萬桶，4月份將達(dá)到315萬桶。根據(jù)官方數(shù)據(jù)，科威特2月份的石油日產(chǎn)量為267萬桶。

科威特國家通訊社援引哈什姆的話報(bào)道說：“科威特已開始從中立區(qū)哈夫吉油田開采重質(zhì)原油。”

與此同時(shí)，這是科威特5年來第一次從中立區(qū)出口重質(zhì)原油。3天前，歐佩克+現(xiàn)有的產(chǎn)量限制措施到期，但歐佩克將召開緊急會(huì)議以期達(dá)成一項(xiàng)新的產(chǎn)量限制協(xié)議。

Kuwait set to pump 3.15 million b/d in April as Neutral Zone exports take off

OPEC member Kuwait is planning to ramp up its oil output to as high as 3.15 million b/d, up by almost 500,000 b/d in the past two months, bolstered by the resumption of production from the fields in the Neutral Zone shared by Kuwait and with Saudi Arabia.

Kuwait Petroleum Corporation's Deputy Chairman Hashem Hashem said output in March had surged to near 2.9 million b/d and it would reach 3.15 million b/d in April, according to state-run KUNA new agency. In February, Kuwait produced 2.67 million b/d, according to official data.

"[Kuwait] has started producing heavy crude oil from the Khafji field," Hashem was cited as saying.

The announcement coincides with the first exports in over five years from the Neutral Zone. It also comes three days after OPEC+'s existing output curbs expired but ahead of an emergency meeting by the producer group on Monday aimed at agreeing on a new output constraint deal.
