據道瓊斯4月30日消息，挪威石油與能源部部長表示，該國將在今年剩余時間削減石油產量，以助力油市更快企穩。

挪威政府表示，世界大部分地區的疫情防控措施已對全球經濟活動產生重大影響，進而嚴重影響了石油需求。

挪威表示，在當前這種史無前例的形勢下，比起僅通過市場機制來實現再平衡，削減石油產量將有助于油市更快地企穩。

作為減產計劃的組成部分，挪威大陸架的石油產量將在6月份減少25萬桶/日，在2020年下半年減少13.4萬桶/日，同時若干個油田的投產時間將推遲到2021年。

減產措施定于今年年底到期，將讓挪威2020年12月整體產量比最初計劃的減少30萬桶/日。

Norway Cuts Oil Production to Help Stabilise Market

Norway will cut oil production for the rest of the year to help speed up a stabilisation in the oil market, the country's Minister of Petroleum and Energy said late Wednesday.

The coronavirus pandemic and efforts to contain it in large parts of the world have had a substantial impact on economic activity globally and therefore also for oil demand, the government said.

In the current unprecedented situation, Norway said that cuts to oil production will contribute to a faster stabilisation of the oil market compared with letting the rebalancing take place only though the market mechanism.

As part of the plan, production on the Norwegian continental shelf will be reduced by 250,000 barrels a day in June and by 134,000 barrels a day in the second half of 2020, while the start-up of production of several fields will be delayed until 2021.

The measures--set to end by the end of the year--will see total Norwegian production in December 2020 at a level of 300,000 barrels a day less than originally planned.'
