11 Avr Opec Supply Cut Agreement
The July increase is the largest since April, when OPEC pumped shortly at will before the last supply cut was agreed. OPEC and industry sources who were briefed on the deal had previously told Reuters that Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Iraq wanted to make disadvantages by revising their production targets to increase supply. The biggest increase in supply in July came from Saudi Arabia, which pumped 8.4 million bpd, 850,000 bpd compared to June and close to its quota, the survey found. A loosening of closures and weaker supply helped push LCOc1 oil above $40 to below $16 per barrel over 21 years in April, although concerns about a second wave kept earnings in the air. The Reuters survey aims to track supply in the market and is based on shipping data from external sources, Refinitiv Eikon data flow, information provided by tanker trackers such as Petro-Logistics and Kpler, and information provided by sources from oil companies, OPEC and consultants. The United Arab Emirates had pumped more than its target in August, but promised to offset the increase by cutting oil supplies in the coming months. « The potential will remain tight as long as COVID`s hangover continues, » said Stephen Brennock of oil broker PVM. At the meeting, it was reaffirmed that, in the Declaration of Cooperation (DoC), participating producing countries continued to work towards a stable market, so that producing countries ensured mutual interest, efficient, economic and safe consumer supply and a reasonable return on invested capital. LONDON (Reuters) – OPEC oil production rose by more than a million barrels per day (bpd) in July, as Saudi Arabia and other Gulf members ended their voluntary supply restrictions in addition to an OPEC-led agreement and made limited progress in compliance with other members. Opec meets in November to decide on production policy. A debate on the objectives and their calculation would complicate political discussions on offsetting supply and weak demand.
Iranian and Libyan offers remained stable in July and Venezuelan production continued to decline. All three are exempt from voluntary reductions due to U.S. sanctions or internal problems that limit production. « All OPEC members need to understand the plight in Iraq… when it comes to discussing a new extension cutting agreement. The extension of existing restrictions would mark the abandonment of the existing pact between the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allied countries, a group called OPEC. Producers had previously agreed to increase production by 2 million bpd in January. Additional reports from Rania El Gamal and Ahmad Ghaddar; The drafting of Jan Harvey Iraq and Nigeria, which increased compliance in June and fell behind in previous OPEC agreements, did not lead to further reductions in July, according to the survey, as Iraq boosted exports. Both have committed to further reductions in the coming months. « Iraq will remain committed to the OPEC cut-off agreement and we will keep our promise not only to cut production, but also to make up for the missing months before the end of the year, » said a senior Iraqi oil official attending the OPEC meetings.
