据估计，布伦特原油价格已上涨超过 5%，达到每桶 84 美元以上，未来几个月有可能达到每桶 110 美元左右
此前，欧佩克在联合部长级监测委员会（JMMC）第 48 次会议上通过视频会议宣布了减产消息。
会议注意到包括 沙特阿拉伯在内的 OPEC 成员国于 2023 年 4 月 2 日宣布的自愿减产（50 万桶/日）；伊拉克（211,000 桶/天）；阿拉伯联合酋长国（144,000 桶/天）；科威特（128,000桶/日），从5月开始直至2023年底。这些将是对第33届欧佩克和非欧佩克部长级会议决定的产量调整的补充。
因此，这将使自愿额外产量调整总量达到166 万桶/日。会议指出，这是为维护石油市场稳定而采取的预防性措施。
Rystad Energy评论道：“如果完全落实，宣布的减产将进一步收紧本已基本紧张的石油市场，推动布伦特原油基准价格比之前预期更早达到每桶100美元，并将在今年夏天将价格推至每桶110美元左右。” 这家能源咨询公司认为，这些自愿减产将在今年剩余时间内进一步收紧石油市场。
The price of Brent crude oil has seen an increase of more than 5% to above US$84 a barrel, with the potential of reaching around US$110 a barrel in the coming months, according to some estimates
This follows news of OPEC production cuts, announced at the 48th meeting of the Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC), which took place via video conference.
The Meeting noted the following voluntary decrease in production announced on 2 April 2023 by OPEC members including Saudi Arabia (500,000 b/d); Iraq (211,000 b/d); United Arab Emirates (144,000 b/d); Kuwait (128,000 b/d), starting May until the end of 2023. These will be in addition to the production adjustments decided at the 33rd OPEC and non-OPEC Ministerial Meeting.
As a result, this will bring the total additional voluntary production adjustments to 1.66 million b/d in total. The Meeting noted that this is a precautionary measure aimed at supporting the stability of the oil market.
"If fully delivered, the announced cut would further tighten an already fundamentally tight oil market, driving the Brent benchmark towards US$100 per barrel sooner than previously expected and would push the price to around US$110 per barrel this summer," commented Rystad Energy. The energy consultancy believes that these voluntary cuts will further tighten the oil market for the rest of the year.
