据石油新闻2021年3月2日伦敦报道，欧佩克秘书长穆罕默德·巴尔金多3月2日说，全球经济继续从新冠肺炎疫情中反弹，但欧佩克及其盟国需要在石油生产方面保持纪律，以确保其全面复苏。
巴尔金多是在欧佩克+技术委员会代表会议上发表上述讲话的。他表示，“我们必须用强烈的语气强调：谨慎乐观，谨慎乐观，谨慎乐观”。两天之后，欧佩克+石油部长们将在网上开会，决定4月份甚至更长时间的产量水平。
欧佩克+的几个成员国预计在会上将推动放宽配额。根据目前的协议，欧佩克和9个盟国将共同削减720万桶/天的产量，每月最多可减少50万桶/天的产量。
沙特阿拉伯更倾向于采取一种更为保守的方式，该国已主动制定了每日额外削减100万桶石油产量的计划，这个计划将在3月底到期。
巴尔金多表示，欧佩克的分析师预计，今年全球石油日需求量将增加580万桶，达到9600万桶。
相比之下，新冠肺炎疫情大流行前的市场日需求量约为1亿桶。
“令人鼓舞的全球经济发展和亚洲迅速恢复的需求是上行因素，”巴尔金多如是说。

OPEC secretary general stresses need for caution in managing oil market recovery
The global economy continues to rebound from the pandemic, but OPEC and its allies need to remain disciplined with their oil production to ensure its full recovery, OPEC Secretary General Mohammed Barkindo said March 2.
"We must emphasize in strong terms: cautious optimism, cautious optimism, cautious optimism," Barkindo said at a delegate level OPEC+ technical committee meeting, two days ahead of when ministers will convene Several members are expected to push for a loosening of quotas. Under the current agreement, OPEC and nine allies are cutting a collective 7.2 million b/d of production, which can be eased by up to 500,000 b/d each month.
Saudi Arabia, which has preferred a more conservative approach, has voluntarily instituted an extra 1 million b/d cut that expires at the end of March.
Barkindo said OPEC's analysts project global oil demand will grow by 5.8 million b/d in 2021 to reach 96 million b/d.
That compares to a pre-pandemic market of around 100 million b/d.
"The encouraging global economic developments and resilient demand in Asia are upside factors," Barkindo said.
