据普氏能源资讯2月18日报道称，12月，沙特阿拉伯根据欧佩克的协议削减了原油出口，从前一个月的两年高点回落。

作为全球最大的原油出口国，沙特阿拉伯12月份原油出口量为768.7万桶/日，较11月份下降54.8万桶/日，当时出货量为2016年11月以来的最高水平，就在石油输出国组织于2017年1月开始实施减产协议之前。

JODI数据显示，12月份炼油厂产量下降至268.4万桶/日，较11月减少15.2万桶/日，而发电用原油直接燃烧量增加至36.4万桶/日，增加了3.6万桶/日。

根据JODI的数据，原油库存下降至20537.6万桶，同比下降16％。

沙特阿拉伯本月早些时候向欧佩克报告称，由于该国在1月1日生效的新减产协议之前大幅减产，其1月原油产量下降至1024.3万桶/日。

沙特能源部长哈立德法利赫上周告诉英国《金融时报》，3月份该国的产量将降至980万桶/日，低于其最新协议规定的1031.1万桶/日的配额。他补充称，出口量将降至690万桶/日左右。

Saudi Dec crude oil exports fall from two-year high

Saudi Arabia cut back on exports of crude oil in December, falling back from a two-year high the month before, as the kingdom reduced its supplies in line with OPEC's agreement.

Saudi Arabia, the world's largest crude exporter, shipped 7.687 million b/d of crude in December, a 548,000 b/d drop from November, when shipments were the highest since November 2016, just before OPEC instituted a production cut deal that began January 2017.

Refinery runs in December dropped to 2.684 million b/d, down 152,000 b/d from November, while direct crude burn for power generation increased to 364,000 b/d, up 36,000 b/d, the JODI data showed.

Crude in storage declined to 205.376 million barrels, down 16% on the year, according to the JODI data.

Saudi Arabia reported to OPEC earlier this month that its January crude production dropped to 10.243 million b/d, as the kingdom slashed output ahead of a new production cut agreement that went into force January 1.

Saudi energy minister Khalid al-Falih told the Financial Times last week his country's output would fall to 9.8 million b/d in March, below its quota under the latest deal of 10.311 million b/d. Exports will be cut to near 6.9 million b/d, he added.
