中国石化新闻网讯 据彭博新闻社2023年3月8日报道，欧佩克高级官员表示，即使亚洲对石油的需求正在经历“惊人的”增长，但欧洲和美国对石油需求的放缓正在对全球石油市场构成担忧。
欧佩克秘书长周二在标准普尔全球剑桥能源周（CERAWeek）会议上说：“我们看到一个分裂的市场，几乎就像两个市场。”他表示，在通胀抑制消费的地区，确保“需求安全”与确保供应同样重要。
不过，根据欧佩克秘书处日前发布的最新报告，目前亚洲石油需求反弹将有助于保持今年上半年全球石油市场基本平衡，今年全球石油日消费量预计将增加230万桶，达到日均1.0187亿桶。在此之后，由于全球库存下降，以沙特阿拉伯为首的欧佩克+联盟的目标是在今年剩余时间保持原油产量水平不变，预计全球石油市场届时将收紧。
他周二警告说，缺乏对新产能的投资正在威胁全球能源安全。总部位于巴黎的国际能源署（IEA）称，欧佩克拥有大约350万桶的备用产能，约占全球总产量的4%。许多欧佩克成员国，如安哥拉和尼日利亚，由于投资不足和运营中断，无法按照其产量配额生产原油。
虽然欧佩克+联盟对市场稳定至关重要，但“我们不能独自承担”。他此前曾将今年的前景描述为“谨慎乐观”之一。
欧佩克+将于4月初举行一次在线会议，评估市场状况，随后将在6月举行一次部长级会议，制定今年剩余时间原油生产的政策。
他表示，作为欧佩克秘书长，他的首要任务之一是将石油行业的公众形象从污染者转变为能源转型的积极参与者。为此，他成立了欧佩克+联盟的第一个“环境事务”部门。

OPEC Concerned about Demand Slowdown in USA, Europe
OPEC’s top official said slowing oil demand in Europe and the US are posing a concern for the global market, even as Asia experiences “phenomenal” growth.
“We see a divided market — almost like two markets,” OPEC Secretary-General Haitham Al-Ghais said at the CERAWeek by S&P Global conference Tuesday. Ensuring “security of demand” in regions where inflation is crimping consumption is as critical as ensuring supplies, he said.
For now, though, rebounding demand in Asia will help keep the market broadly balanced in the first half of the year, with global consumption seen rising by 2.3 million barrels a day to average 101.87 million barrels a day in 2023, according to the latest report from OPEC’s Vienna-based secretariat. After that, the market is expected to tighten as global inventories decline and the 23-nation OPEC+ coalition, led by Saudi Arabia, aims to keep production levels unchanged for the rest of the year.
Al-Ghais>While the alliance known as OPEC+ is critical to market stability, “we can’t shoulder this alone,” said Al-Ghais, who has previously described his outlook for this year as>The group is due to hold an>Al-Ghais said one of his top priorities as head of the cartel is to transform the oil sector’s public image from that of a polluter to an active participant in the energy transition. To that end, he has established the group’s first “environmental matters” department.
