据路透社11月9日伦敦报道,沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司(沙特阿美公司)董事长哈立德·法利赫9日在伦敦接受英国《金融时报》记者采访时表示,沙特阿美公司没有任何削减石油产量的计划,他预计石油市场在2016年将重新平衡。
法利赫在采访中说:“现在我们唯一要做的事情就是让市场自主运行。”
上个月,沙特阿拉伯石油大臣阿里·纳伊米也表达了类似的看法。当时他说,尽管中国的经济增速放缓,但他看到了全球石油需求改善的迹象。
法利赫在谈到油价暴跌时说,利雅得的政府官员们知道油价暴跌是痛苦的,但是,痛苦的程度却超过了他们的预料。
法利赫对记者说:“这样的下跌通常是周期性下跌,因此,市场对油价下跌反应过度。现在,每个人都在寻求退出以及项目被取消。这是必要的,但是,从现在起的5至10年将发生什么?谁也无法预料,但不管发生什么,投资是需要的。但愿届时将有足够的投资来满足全球2017年以后对石油的需求。”

Saudi Aramco chairman Falih says no plans to cut oil production
LONDON, November 09, 2015
State-owned oil company Saudi Aramco's chairman Khalid Al Falih said that the company has no plans to cut oil production and he foresees the oil market rebalancing in 2016, the Financial Times reported.
"The only thing to do now is to let the market do its job. " Falih said in an interview to the Financial Times.
Last month, Saudi Arabia's oil minister Ali Al Naimi echoed similar sentiments when he said he saw signs of global oil demand improving despite the economic slowdown in China.
Referring to the slump in oil prices, Falih said officials in Riyadh knew it would be painful, but the extent of the pain went beyond their expectations.
"The market has overreacted as it typically does in such down-cycles. Now everyone is running to the exit and projects are being canceled. That's necessary, but what will happen five to 10 years from now? Investment is needed. Hopefully, however, there will be enough investment to meet the needs beyond 2017," Falih said to the paper. -- Reuters
