據(jù)彭博社4月5日報道，西歐最大的石油生產(chǎn)國挪威表示，如果達成了廣泛的國際協(xié)議來限制石油供應(yīng)，該公司將考慮減產(chǎn)。

這個北歐國家的石油產(chǎn)量將在未來幾年內(nèi)增長，但自2002年以來，該國就沒有參與國際減產(chǎn)協(xié)議以支持油價。不久后，歐佩克和其他產(chǎn)油國將舉行會議，討論可能達成的協(xié)議。沙特阿拉伯和俄羅斯暗示，要達成協(xié)議，其他產(chǎn)油國都需要加入。

挪威愿意減產(chǎn)，突顯出近期原油價格暴跌對所有產(chǎn)油國帶來的影響。上個月，歐佩克+協(xié)議的破裂導致石油供應(yīng)激增，加上全球需求銳減的嚴峻形勢，布倫特原油價格跌至18年來低點，但在有可能達成新協(xié)議的消息傳出后，布倫特原油期貨價格小幅回升。

挪威2月份的原油日產(chǎn)量為175萬桶，不到全球供應(yīng)量的2%。當被問及挪威是否被邀請參加歐佩克+會議時，挪威石油部拒絕對此置評。石油部長解釋道，單邊削減可能不是正式協(xié)議的一部分，也不會有配額的限制。

到目前為止，挪威石油生產(chǎn)還沒有受到限制性措施的影響。

Norway May Join Oil Output Cuts for First Time Since 2002

Norway, the biggest oil producer in western Europe, said it would consider cutting its output if there was a broad international agreement to curb supply.

The Nordic nation, whose oil output is set to grow over the next few years, hasn’t been a part of coordinated international cuts to support prices since 2002. OPEC and other producing nations are due to meet next week to discuss a potential agreement, with Saudi Arabia and Russia indicating other producers needed to join for any deal to be reached.

Norway’s willingness to cut its production underscores how painful the recent collapse in crude has been for all producers. The disintegration of the OPEC+ agreement last month has led to a surge in supply at the same time as the coronavirus pandemic decimated demand. Benchmark Brent dropped to 18-year lows this week before paring some of its losses when news of a potential new agreement emerged.

Norway produced 1.75 million barrels a day of crude in February, less than 2% of global supplies.

Asked whether Norway had been invited to join next week’s meeting, the Petroleum Ministry declined to comment further. The minister’s comment on unilateral cuts suggested it might not be part of a formal agreement, and that it wouldn’t be held to a quota.

Norway’s production has so far not been affected by restrictive measures to limit the spread of the virus.
