据7月14日Neftegaz.RU.利雅得报道，石油价格分析(Oilprice analysis)的业内消息人士向路透社表示，沙特阿拉伯将把8月份的原油出口量维持在7月份的水平，尽管欧佩克+预计将在下月缓和创纪录的减产幅度。

欧佩克创纪录的每日减产970万桶的减产规模一度延长了一个月至7月底，但到8月1日，减产总规模将放缓至每日770万桶。目前，没有迹象表明，该组织愿意讨论再次延长创纪录规模减产的意向。

本月初，俄罗斯能源部长亚历山大?诺瓦克(Alexander Novak)表示，欧佩克+不会讨论或计划修改减产协议，这应会导致石油生产国在8月份减少减产量。

据路透社消息，尽管欧佩克组织的最大产油国、世界最大石油出口国沙特阿拉伯缓和了减产，但并不打算增加原油出口量。该消息人士对路透表示，增产的石油将用于国内发电，沙特在夏季会消耗更多石油。

根据彭博社收集的油轮跟踪数据显示，沙特阿拉伯6月份的原油出口量从5月份的620万桶下降到570万桶/天。这是自2017年彭博社开始跟踪沙特原油出口量以来的最低水平。

据报道，沙特还试图收紧亚洲的中质原油和重质原油市场。了解沙特阿美计划的消息人士7月13日对路透社表示，沙特阿美已将重点放在削减阿拉伯中质和阿拉伯重质原油的供应上，亚洲至少有6家买家接到通知，他们将收到较少数量的重质原油，并可选择用轻质原油替代损失的重质油桶。

熟悉内情的消息人士上周对路透表示，尽管沙特石油巨头8月出口计划将较7月持平，但阿布扎比国家石油公司(ADNOC)计划下月将日出口量增加30万桶。

Saudi Arabia has no plans to increase oil exports just yet

Saudi Arabia is set to keep its crude oil exports in August at the levels from July, although the OPEC+ group is expected to ease the record production cuts as of next month, sources in the industry told Reuters, Oilprice analysed..

The record 9.7-million-bpd OPEC+ cuts – which were extended once for a month until the end of July – are now set to ease to a total cut of 7.7 million bpd as of August 1. Currently, there are no indications that the coalition of oil producers would be willing to even discuss another extension of the record level of production cuts.

At the beginning of this month, Russia’s Energy Minister Alexander Novak said that OPEC+ was not discussing or planning changes to its production cut agreement, which should see the oil producers ease the cuts in August.

Despite the eased cuts, OPEC’s top producer and the world’s biggest oil exporter, Saudi Arabia, does not intend to boost its crude oil exports, according to Reuters’ sources. The increased production will go to domestic power generation, for which Saudi Arabia burns more oil during the summer months, the sources told Reuters.

In June, Saudi Arabia’s observed crude oil exports dropped to 5.7 million bpd, down from 6.2 million bpd in May, according to tanker-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg. This was the lowest level of Saudi crude oil exports since Bloomberg began tracking the flows in 2017.

The Kingdom is also reportedly trying to tighten the medium and heavy crude market in Asia. Saudi Aramco has focused on cutting supply for its Arab Medium and Arab Heavy grades, with at least six buyers in Asia notified they would receive lower volumes of heavier grades with the option to substitute the missing heavy barrels with lighter grades, sources with knowledge of the plans told Reuters on July 13.

While the Saudi oil giant is said to be keeping exports flat in August, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) is reportedly planning to boost its exports next month by 300,000 bpd, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters last week.
