据普氏能源资讯8月16日伦敦报道，欧佩克16日公布的统计数据显示，由于继续与不断下跌的油价作斗争，欧佩克7月份削减了原油产量。

欧佩克在其备受关注的月度石油市场报告中说，欧佩克7月份平均日产2961万桶原油，比6月份下降了8.2%。欧佩克许多成员国7月份的原油产量远远低于他们在一项旨在提振油价的减产协议中所承诺的配额。

欧佩克预计，该组织减产将使全球石油市场在今年下半年供应趋紧，不过该组织可能需要进一步控制产量，以避免2020年再次出现库存看跌的情况。

欧佩克在报告中表示：“尽管今年剩余时间市场基本面前景似乎有些悲观，但考虑到经济增长放缓、持续的全球贸易问题和石油需求增长放缓，密切监测供需平衡并在未来几个月协助市场稳定仍是欧佩克至关重要的事情。”

OPEC reports big drop in crude production, amid 'somewhat bearish' market outlook

Led by its kingpin Saudi Arabia, which said it pumped at its lowest level in more than five years, OPEC on Friday reported it slashed its crude production in July, as it continues to battle slumping oil prices.

OPEC pumped 29.61 million b/d last month, an 8.2% drop from June, it said in its closely watched monthly oil market report, which uses six independent secondary sources to track production. Many countries are far below the quotas they had committed to under a deal aimed at bolstering oil prices.

That should set the oil market up for a tighter second half of 2019, OPEC projected, though the producer group likely will need to rein in output further to avoid another bearish build-up of inventories in 2020.

"While the outlook for market fundamentals seems somewhat bearish for the rest of the year, given softening economic growth, ongoing global trade issues and slowing oil demand growth, it remains critical to closely monitor the supply/demand balance and assist market stability in the months ahead," OPEC said in the report.
