據今日油價網站9月1日消息 與7月相比，伊拉克8月原油出口下降，因為歐佩克第二大產油國正在減少供應，以遵守歐佩克+減產協議，而該協議在此前的協議中基本上被忽視。

據Shafaq通訊社收到的伊拉克國家石油銷售組織（SOMO）的早期估計，伊拉克8月份的原油出口平均為259.7萬桶/日，比上月有所下降。

石油部數據顯示，7月份伊拉克原油總出口量為276.3萬桶/日。

SOMO周二表示，今年8月伊拉克原油出口為259.7萬桶/日，其中包括巴士拉南部石油港口出口的250萬桶/日，以及伊拉克北部油田通過土耳其杰伊漢港出口另外9.7萬桶/日的石油出口。

出口伊拉克石油的平均價格為43.693美元/桶。

伊拉克石油銷售公司表示，伊拉克8月份石油出口收入占伊拉克預算收入的大部分，為35.17億美元。

石油收入對伊拉克預算收入至關重要，但近幾個月來，以沙特阿拉伯為首的歐佩克+伙伴國向其施壓，要求其停止在減產配額上的隱瞞行為，并最終開始遵守歐佩克+協議。

伊拉克承諾在8月額外削減約40萬桶/日，以彌補前幾個月未能遵守歐佩克+協議的情況。

伊拉克自2017年1月首次啟動以來，一直是歐佩克+減產協議中最不遵守規定的成員國，幾個月來一直承諾將減少石油產量，并按照配額下降，這是自2017年以來的首次。

盡管做出了承諾并減少了出口，但伊拉克尚未遵守減產協議。

Iraq’s Crude Oil Exports Drop In August

Iraq’s crude oil exports fell in August compared to July, as OPEC’s second-largest producer is reducing supply in an attempt to comply with the OPEC+ production cut pact, which it had largely disregarded in previous deals.

Iraq’s crude oil exports in August averaged 2.597 million barrels per day (bpd), down from the previous month, according to early estimates from Iraq’s State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO) received by the Shafaq News agency.

In July, Iraq’s total crude oil exports stood at 2.763 million bpd, oil ministry data showed.

In August, Iraq’s crude oil exports of 2.597 million bpd included 2.5 million bpd of exports from the southern oil ports at Basra and another 97,000 bpd of oil exports from Iraq’s northern oilfields through the Turkish port of Ceyhan, SOMO said today.

The average price per barrel of exported Iraqi oil was $43.693.

Iraq’s revenues from its oil exports in August—oil income being the majority of Iraqi budget revenues—were at US$3.517 billion, Iraq’s oil marketing company said.

Oil revenues are critical to Iraq’s budget income, but in recent months OPEC’s second-largest oil producer has come under pressure from its fellow OPEC+ partners led by Saudi Arabia to stop cheating on their production quotas and finally start complying with the OPEC+ agreement.

Iraq promised additional cuts of around 400,000 bpd in August in order to compensate for the lack of compliance with the OPEC+ deal in the previous months.

Iraq, which has been the least compliant member of the OPEC+ production cut pact since it was first launched in January 2017, has been promising for months that it would reduce its oil production and fall in line with its quota—something it hasn’t done since 2017.

Despite the pledges and the reduced exports, Iraq has yet to comply with the production cut deal.
