中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网2023年5月31日报道，路透社周三进行的一项调查结果显示，欧佩克5月份原油产量下降，此前欧佩克+几个成员国自愿减产，据称有助于支撑市场。

根据调查结果，欧佩克5月份的原油日产量比4月份减少46万桶，比去年9月份减少150多万桶，尽管一些欧佩克+成员国的原油产量增加抵消了其他成员国原油产量的下降。

6个欧佩克成员国在5月份自愿同意在现有每日减少127万桶原油产量的基础上再实现每日减产104万桶。

欧佩克似乎正试图阻止那些从预测欧佩克+市场决策中获利的投机者。

沙特阿拉伯能源大臣萨勒曼上周发出了这一警告，一些人担心这可能导致欧佩克再次减产，从而推高油价并惩罚卖空者。

萨勒曼说：“我一直建议他们(指石油投机商)做出让步，他们在4月份确实做出了让步，我没必要亮出底牌。我不是一个扑克玩家，但我只想告诉他们要小心谨慎。”到5月16日，石油空头头寸为1.84亿桶/天，比一个月前的空头头寸增加了140%。

5月31日上午，高盛投资公司大宗商品分析师表示，他们预计欧佩克+的9个主要产油国将自愿减产，“保持产量不变，但要使用一些部分对抗强硬派的措辞”。

沙特阿拉伯今年的财政收支平衡油价为每桶78美元，但实际上，根据平衡预算的支出需求，油价可能更高。

Reuters Survey: OPEC Output Down 460,00 BPD This Month

A Reuters survey on Wednesday shows a drop in OPEC oil output for May following voluntary production cuts by OPEC+ said to help support the market.

According to the survey, OPEC production was down 460,000 barrels per day from April, and down more than 1.5 million bpd from September, though increases by some OPEC+ members counterbalanced that drop in output.

Six OPEC members in May voluntarily agreed to cut 1.04 million bpd in addition to the already-existing 1.27 million bpd.

OPEC appears to be trying to head off speculators who are profiting from predicting OPEC+ market decisions.

Saudi Arabia Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman last week issued the threat, which some fear could lead to another output cut that would boost prices and punish short-sellers.

“I keep advising them (referencing oil speculators) that they will be ouching, they did ouch in April, I don’t have to show my cards. I am not a poker player…but I would just tell them to watch out,” the energy minister warned. As of May 16, oil short positions were at 184 million bpd, up 140% from shorts a month earlier.

On Wednesday morning, Goldman Sachs commodities analysts said they expected the nine major OPEC+ productions undertaking voluntary cuts to “keep production unchanged but utilize some partly offsetting hawkish rhetoric”.

Saudi Arabia’s fiscal breakeven oil price is $78 per barrel this year, though in practice, it could be higher based on spending needs for balancing the budget.
