據6月20日The National報道，根據歐佩克數據顯示，2020年5月，全球石油總產量為8989萬桶/天，與2020年4月相比每天減少了1004萬桶。

全球石油產量下降的原因是歐佩克和其他產油國簽署了減產協議，以維持供需平衡，保護產油國和消費國的利益。

2020年5月，石油價格在第一季度下跌至2003年以來的最低水平后飆升，這鼓勵了歐佩克+進一步削減產量，特別是在主要消費國石油需求下降的情況下。

根據歐佩克石油市場活動的月度報告，五月份歐佩克成員國的石油日產量下降了630萬桶，同時俄羅斯、美國、哈薩克斯坦、阿曼、加拿大、阿塞拜疆、挪威和墨西哥也進行了減產。

歐佩克預計，2020年全球石油日產量將減少910萬桶，初步數據顯示，今年全球石油平均產量將達到9060萬桶/天。

Global oil production declines to 89.89 million barrels per day in May

In May 2020, the total global oil production amounted to 89.89 million barrels per day, marking a daily decrease of 10.04 million barrels compared to April 2020, according to figures from the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).

The global decline in oil production was the result of an agreement signed between OPEC and other producers to cut production, to maintain a balance between supply and demand and protect the interests of both producers and consumers.

In May 2020, oil prices surged after dropping in the first quarter to its lowest levels since 2003, which encouraged the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries Plus, OPEC+, to cut production further, especially with the decline of oil demand by major consumer countries.

The production of OPEC members declined by 6.3 million barrels per day in May while other cuts were made by Russia, the US, Kazakhstan, Oman, Canada, Azerbaijan, Norway and Mexico, as per OPEC’s monthly report on oil market activity.

OPEC estimates a decline in global oil production by 9.1 million barrels per day in 2020, noting that average global oil production this year will reach 90.6 million barrels per day, according to preliminary figures.
