据4月22日Neftegaz.RU.消息：国际能源署（IEA）呼吁欧佩克组织加快减产速度。在4月20日西德克萨斯中质原油价格暴跌，以及人们日益意识到库存压力之后，国际能源监管机构负责人法提赫?比罗尔提出了3个步骤。

第一步是针对那些选择减产的国家，他们要“尽快采取行动，并考虑进一步减产”。在4月9日召开的会议上，各国承诺将每日减少970万桶石油供应，但这一承诺是从5月1日起生效。

法兰克斯·阿辛特公司的总经理查尔斯·霍利斯说，沙特不太可能自行采取措施限制生产。他表示：“他们可能更愿意在极低的价格中安然度过，寄望于解除封锁石油需求复苏，但这可能要花几个月的时间。”

第二步是让金融当局采取措施，阻止无序的市场状态。

第三步是让那些具有战略储备的国家吸收过剩的石油。

国际能源署最新的市场报告显示，预计4月份的石油需求将比去年同期减少2900万桶。这意味着本月库存将增加约8.7亿桶。

IEA calls for deeper cuts

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has called for the OPEC-led group to take more production offline and faster than previously agreed. Following the carnage of negative WTI prices on April 20, and a growing realisation about pressure on storage, the energy watchdog’s head Fatih Birol set out 3 steps.

The 1st is for those countries that have opted to cut production to “act as soon as possible and also consider even deeper cuts”. The meeting on April 9 saw commitments to take 9.7 million barrels per day of oil off the market – but only starting on May 1.

Falanx Assynt’s managing director Charles Hollis said it was unlikely Saudi Arabia would take steps on its own to curb production. “They might prefer to ride out very low prices for a few months in the hope that the relaxation of lockdowns will lead to a recovery in demand – but that could be quite a few months,” he said.

The 2nd step from the IEA is for financial authorities to take steps to “discourage disorderly market outcomes”.

The 3rd step is for those countries with strategic reserves to make capacity available to soak up surplus barrels.

US President Donald Trump has said his country is aiming to fill up its reserves, with the addition of up to 75 million barrels which would “top it out”. There seemed to be some ambiguity in Trump’s remarks about whether the government would buy it or merely store it for companies. Trump also said the US would consider blocking oil imports from Saudi.

According to the IEA’s most recent oil market report, demand in April is expected to be down by 29mn bpd from 2019 volumes. This would imply a stock build this month of around 870mn barrels.
