据6月30日Neftegaz.RU.报道，阿塞拜疆新闻社分析称，美国能源信息署（EIA）调整了对阿塞拜疆2021-2022年日均石油产量的预测。
在6月份发布的报告中，EIA将阿塞拜疆2021年的石油日产量预测下调1万桶，至73万桶。值得注意的是，根据5月份发布的报告，该机构预测2021年的石油日产量为74万桶。该机构还将阿塞拜疆2022年的石油日产量预期从79万桶下调至78万桶。
根据EIA短期能源展望报告，2021年第一季度阿塞拜疆的平均石油日产量为74万桶。与此同时，预计今年第二季度该国的平均石油日产量将达到71万桶。要知道，2020年的日均石油产量为70万桶，2020年第一、第二、第三和第四季度的平均石油日产量分别为76万、69万、66万和69万桶。
自2020年4月起，欧佩克+成员国就减少石油日产量达成协议。
此前，阿塞拜疆支持欧佩克+在5月、6月和7月达成的将原油产量提高到110万桶的协议，该协议是在第15届部长级会议上达成的。根据新的声明，该国5月份的原油日产量将维持在60.3万桶，6月份和7月份的原油日产量分别为61万桶和62万桶。
欧佩克预计，随着全球经济复苏，2021年全球石油需求将增加。欧佩克秘书长穆罕默德·巴金多(Mohammed Barkind)表示，该组织技术委员会证实了之前对全球石油需求增长的预测。
由于美国、印度和欧元区等国家的复苏，全球GDP预计在2021年增长5.5%，该组织及其盟友预计，全球原油需求将增加600万桶/天。
欧佩克官网援引该官员的话称:“与上次会议相比，对石油的预测基本没有变化，今年的平均需求预计将增长600万桶，至约9650万桶，增幅为6.6%。”
巴金多补充道:“事实上，我们预计第四季度需求将超过9900万桶/天，这将回到疫情爆发前的水平。”
2020年，欧佩克+主要产油国就限制原油产量达成的协议，是维持石油市场稳定的主要因素之一。
截至格林威治标准时间7点20分，全球油价上涨，布伦特原油交易价突破每桶75美元，美国基准WTI原油价格上涨40美分，至每桶73.41美元。
