據油價網8月3日報道，國際文傳電訊社（Interfax）報道的政府數據顯示，7月俄羅斯石油公司的產量比去年同期減少了16％。

7月俄羅斯的日均產量為3963萬噸，按每噸石油7.33桶的轉換率等于935萬桶。然而，路透社援引能源部的數據顯示，日均產量為937萬桶，略高于6月份的932萬桶。該能源部評論道，這一生產率符合俄羅斯對歐佩克+減產協議的承諾。

俄羅斯和沙特阿拉伯是歐佩克+組織減產幅度最大的國家之一，為每日200萬桶。這一減產水平花了一段時間才實現，從本月開始，該公司將把日均產量提高約40萬桶，因歐佩克+4月達成的最大幅度減產在7月底到期。

根據最初的協議，歐佩克+計劃在5月和6月這兩個月的時間里，日減產970萬桶，然后將削減降至每天770萬桶，并一直持續到年底。從2021年1月起，減產幅度將進一步降至580萬桶/天，并一直持續到2022年4月底。

盡管外界猜測歐佩克+可能決定將最大幅度的減產延長至7月底之后，但歐佩克+并沒有這么做，盡管國際基準價格仍遠低于中東產油國所能接受的水平。

如今油價也下跌了，因為市場對大多數歐佩克+成員國開始放松減產做出了反應，除了伊拉克、尼日利亞和安哥拉，這些國家在最初幾個月的減產中沒有遵守產量配額。

Russian Oil Output Falls 16% In July

Russian oil companies pumped 16 percent less oil last month than a year earlier, government data reported by Interfax showed.

At 39.63 million tons, Russia’s average daily output for July was equal to 9.35 million bpd based on a conversion rate of 7.33 barrels per metric ton of oil. Reuters, however, cited Energy Ministry data that showed a daily average of 9.37 million barrels, which was slightly higher than the June average, which stood at 9.32 million bpd. The ministry commented that this rate of production was in line with Russia’s commitment to the OPEC+ production cut deal.

Russia had one of the deepest production cut quotas in the OPEC+ group along with Saudi Arabia, at 2 million bpd. It took a while to achieve this level of output reduction, and starting from this month, it will increase the average daily output by some 400,000 bpd as the deepest cuts OPEC+ agreed in April expired at the end of July.

According to the original agreement, OPEC+ was to cut 9.7 million bpd in combined production for two months—May and June—and then ease these to 7.7 million bpd, to stay in effect until the end of the year. Then, from January 2021, the production cuts would be further eased to 5.8 million bpd, to remain in effect until end-April 2022.

While there has been speculation that the group may decide to extend the deepest cuts beyond the end of July, OPEC+ has stopped short of doing that even though international benchmark prices are still a lot lower than Middle Eastern producers are comfortable with.

Prices fell today, too, as the market reacted to the start of production cut relaxation for most OPEC+ members, except laggards Iraq, Nigeria, and Angola, which failed to comply with their production quotas in the first couple of months of cuts.
