据彭博社10月17日德黑兰报道,欧佩克第三大成员国伊朗计划今年将石油产量提升至400万桶/天的水平,此举可能会使欧佩克旨在提振油价的减产计划出现波折。
伊朗国家石油公司总经理阿里?卡多尔周一在德黑兰的一次会议上表示,伊朗将进一步提升当前389万桶/天的产量。伊朗石油部分管国际事务的副部长阿米尔?侯赛因?扎马尼尼亚向记者表示,该国在被施加经济制裁之前产油量为408.5万桶/天。他表示:“我们需要达到制裁前的水平。”
扎马尼尼亚称,伊朗目前石油出口量超过220万桶/天。伊朗正在谋求恢复制裁前的原油市场份额。
欧佩克组织成员国将于下月召开会议商讨如何达成协议来执行既定的减产决议。欧佩克上月在阿尔及利亚会议上决定,将总体产量削减到3250万桶/天与3300万桶/天之间,以此遏制全球性的产能过剩并刺激油价,但伊朗或将被排除在减产范围之外。伊朗在2012年国际制裁收紧时失去了欧佩克第二大产油国的地位,目前正抓紧提升产量来重新回到从前的水平。
扎马尼尼亚表示,欧佩克将在11月份开会讨论每个单独成员国的生产定额。卡多尔则称,欧佩克通过分析师与记者等二手信息源获得的伊朗产量数据用以决定该国定额是“不可接受的”。
彭博社辑录的伊朗9月产油量为363万桶/天。卡多尔表示,伊朗已经发挥全部产能。

Iran to boost oil output as OPEC plans cut
TEHRAN (Bloomberg) -- Iran, OPEC’s third-biggest member, plans to boost its oil output to a level of 4 MMbpd this year, potentially complicating the producer group’s plan to cut supply in an effort to prop up prices.
The Persian Gulf nation will raise production from 3.89 MMbpd currently, Ali Kardor, managing director of National Iranian Oil Co., said Monday at a conference in Tehran. Amir Hossein Zamaninia, deputy oil minister for international affairs, told reporters the country pumped 4.085 MMbpd before sanctions were imposed on its economy. “We need to reach pre-sanctions production levels,” he said.
Iran currently exports more than 2.2 MMbopd, Zamaninia said. The country is seeking to recover the share of crude markets it held before sanctions.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries will meet next month to seek agreement on how to put into effect a planned cut in the group’s output. OPEC decided last month in Algeria to reduce its collective production to between 32.5 MMbopd and 33 MMbopd to rein in a global glut and support prices, though it may exempt Iran from any cuts. Iran lost its position as OPEC’s second-biggest producer after international sanctions were tightened in 2012 and has defended its steps to ramp up output to return to prior levels.
OPEC will discuss individual production quotas for its members at a meeting in November, Zamaninia said. However, OPEC data for Iran’s production based on estimates from secondary sources, such as analysts and journalists, is “not acceptable” for use in determining the country’s individual quota, Kardor said.
The country pumped 3.63 MMbopd in September, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Iran is pumping at full capacity, Kardor said.
