據路透社9月18日報道，周四官方數據顯示，沙特阿拉伯7月原油出口量從6月的紀錄低點反彈至573萬桶/日。

根據聯合組織數據倡議(JODI)追溯至2002年的數據，6月原油出口量為498萬桶/日，創下歷史最低記錄。

由于沙特阿拉伯和其他海灣地區成員國先于OPEC主導的限產協議之前就終止了自愿供應削減，石油輸出國組織(OPEC)7月產出增加逾100萬桶/日。

逐步解封和供應減少幫助基準布倫特原油在4月暴跌至15.98美元的21年低點之后，整個7月都保持在40美元/桶以上，不過漲幅受到第二波疫情擔憂的抑制。

OPEC+一直在減產770萬桶/日，約占全球需求的8%，但該集團不太可能在周四晚些時候的虛擬會議上宣布進一步的抑制措施。

7月沙特原油產量環比增長13.3%，至848萬桶/日，為2002年12月以來的最低水平。

7月沙特國內原油煉廠吞吐量下降13.2%，至209萬桶/日，而直接原油燃燒量則增加17.6萬桶/日，至64.5萬桶/日。

JODI網站數據顯示，7月沙特石油產品總需求增加21.9萬桶/日，至238萬桶/日。

與此同時，這個全球最大石油出口國將其銷往亞洲的阿拉伯輕質原油10月官方售價下調至5月以來最大幅度。

月度出口數據由利雅得和石油輸出國組織(OPEC)其他成員國向聯合組織數據倡議(JODI)提供，并在其網站上公布。

Saudi Arabia crude exports rebound in July from historic lows

Saudi Arabia's crude oil exports rebounded in July to 5.73 million barrels per day (bpd) from a record low in June, official data showed on Thursday.

At 4.98 million bpd, crude exports in June were the weakest on record, according to data from the Joint Organizations Data Initiative (JODI) stretching back to 2002.

Output from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) rose by more than 1 million bpd in July as Saudi Arabia and other Gulf members ended voluntary supply cuts, on top of an OPEC-led deal to curb production.

An easing of lockdowns and lower supply helped benchmark Brent crude hold above $40 a barrel throughout July after plunging to a 21-year low of $15.98 in April, though gains were kept in check by fears of a second wave of COVID-19.

OPEC+ has been reducing output by 7.7 million bpd, or about 8 per cent of global demand, but the group is unlikely to announce further curbs in its virtual meeting later on Thursday.

Saudi Arabia's crude production rose 13.3 per cent month-on-month in July to 8.48 million bpd, its lowest since December 2002.

Saudi's domestic crude refinery throughput fell 13.2 per cent to 2.09 million bpd in July, while direct crude burn rose by 176,000 bpd to 645,000 bpd.

Saudi total oil product demand in July rose by 219,000 bpd to 2.38 million bpd, data on the JODI website showed.

Meanwhile, the world's top oil exporter cut its October official selling price for the Arab Light crude it sells to Asia by the most since May.

Monthly export figures are provided by Riyadh and other members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to the Joint Organizations Data Initiative (JODI), which publishes them on its website.
