據7月14日Rigzone消息：歐佩克預計，明年對其原油的需求將大幅反彈，超過疫情前的水平，因為與歐佩克競爭的產油國正努力恢復產量。

根據一份月度報告顯示，石油輸出國組織(歐佩克)預測，到2021年其原油需求將激增25％，達到平均每天2980萬桶，高于2019年的水平。

盡管上漲的部分原因是隨著經濟恢復增長，全球石油需求回升，但更大因素是歐佩克競爭對手的復產。報告顯示，在今年下滑7.4％之后，2021年美國的石油產量增長將非常有限。

與此同時，歐佩克及其盟友正在減產，以消除因疫情造成的供過于求，并推高油價。該組織表示，今年6月承諾的減產已全部落實。

包括俄羅斯等非成員國在內的歐佩克+聯盟預計將在周三的一次會議上宣布，將從下月起逐步取消一些限制措施。根據協議條款，減產幅度從目前的960萬桶/天(約占全球供應量的10%)降至770萬桶/天。

歐佩克在2021年對市場的首次詳細評估中表示，明年全球石油需求將反彈700萬桶/天，增幅為7.7%，至平均每天9772萬桶。盡管如此，這仍低于去年或2018年水平，而且增長取決于酒店業和旅游業的復蘇。

該組織將2020年的原油日需求量預估略微上調了10萬桶，預計原油日消費量仍將達到創紀錄的895萬桶。

非歐佩克國家2020年的石油日產量將大幅減少326萬桶，明年僅增加92萬桶。對于一個在過去十年大部分時間里市場份額被美國頁巖鉆探公司侵蝕的組織來說，這可能代表著一段喘息的時間。

歐佩克的估計比總部位于巴黎的國際能源機構上周發布的預測更加樂觀，該機構預計，明年對歐佩克原油的需求雖然將大幅回升，但仍將略低于2019年水平。

該組織目前致力于限制供應，這已經使價格從四月下旬的低點翻了一倍多，目前在倫敦達到每桶42美元左右的水平。

上個月，歐佩克進一步減產189萬桶/天，至2227萬桶/天，原因是沙特履行了額外減產承諾，而其他成員國也加強了對減產承諾的遵守。

OPEC Projects 2021 Surge in Crude Demand

OPEC expects demand for its crude oil to rebound sharply next year, surpassing levels seen before the coronavirus crisis, as rival producers struggle to revive output.

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries forecasts the need for its crude will surge by 25% in 2021 to average 29.8 million barrels a day, higher than the level required in 2019, according to a monthly report.

While the increase is partly driven by a recovery in global oil demand as economic growth resumes, an even bigger factor is the misfortune of OPEC’s competitors. After slumping 7.4% this year, the U.S. will see only limited production growth in 2021, the report showed.

In the meantime, OPEC and its allies are cutting production to clear the glut left behind by the Covid-19 crisis and prop up prices. The cartel said it implemented more than 100% of the cutbacks pledged in June.

The OPEC+ alliance, which includes non-members such as Russia, is expected to announce at a meeting on Wednesday that it will phase out some of the curbs from next month. Under the terms of its agreement, the cuts taper from 9.6 million barrels a day currently -- roughly 10% of global supply -- to 7.7 million a day in August.

World oil demand will rebound by 7 million barrels a day, or 7.7%, next year to average 97.72 million a day, OPEC said in its first detailed assessment of the market in 2021. Still, even that is below the levels seen last year or in 2018, and the growth hinges on the containment of the coronavirus and a recovery in the hospitality and travel sectors.

The organization lifted estimates for demand in 2020 very slightly, by 100,000 barrels a day, projecting that consumption remains on track for a record annual slump of 8.95 million barrels a day.

For the improvement in the group’s fortunes next year, a more important driver is the suffering of its rivals.

Non-OPEC supply is set to plunge by a massive 3.26 million barrels a day in 2020, and will rise by only 920,000 barrels a day the following year. It could represent a period of breathing space for an organization that saw its market share eroded for much of the last decade by American shale drillers.

OPEC’s estimates form a more optimistic outlook for the cartel than that published last week by the International Energy Agency, the Paris-based institution that advises consuming nations. The IEA predicted that demand for OPEC crude, while set to recover sharply, will remain slightly below 2019 levels next year.

For the time being, the organization is committed to supply restraint, which has helped prices more than double from the lows hit in late April, to current levels of about $42 a barrel in London.

Last month the cartel slashed output by a further 1.89 million barrels a day to 22.27 million barrels a day, as Saudi Arabia followed through on promises of extra cutbacks and other members stepped up their compliance with pledged reductions. A committee that assesses implementation meets later on Tuesday, ahead of a ministerial gathering Wednesday.
