科威特计划把4月石油日产量提高到315万桶

据原油新闻2020年4月3日伦敦报道，欧佩克成员国科威特计划将其石油日产量提高至315万桶，比过去两个月日增近50万桶，这得益于科威特和沙特阿拉伯共同拥有的中立区油田恢复生产。

科威特国家通讯社3日报道说，科威特石油公司副董事长哈希姆表示，该公司3月份石油日产量已飙升至近290万桶，4月份将达到315万桶。根据官方数据，科威特2月份的石油日产量为267万桶。

科威特国家通讯社援引哈什姆的话报道说：“科威特已开始从中立区哈夫吉油田开采重质原油。”

与此同时，这是科威特5年来第一次从中立区出口重质原油。3天前，欧佩克+现有的产量限制措施到期，但欧佩克将召开紧急会议以期达成一项新的产量限制协议。

Kuwait set to pump 3.15 million b/d in April as Neutral Zone exports take off

OPEC member Kuwait is planning to ramp up its oil output to as high as 3.15 million b/d, up by almost 500,000 b/d in the past two months, bolstered by the resumption of production from the fields in the Neutral Zone shared by Kuwait and with Saudi Arabia.

Kuwait Petroleum Corporation's Deputy Chairman Hashem Hashem said output in March had surged to near 2.9 million b/d and it would reach 3.15 million b/d in April, according to state-run KUNA new agency. In February, Kuwait produced 2.67 million b/d, according to official data.

"[Kuwait] has started producing heavy crude oil from the Khafji field," Hashem was cited as saying.

The announcement coincides with the first exports in over five years from the Neutral Zone. It also comes three days after OPEC+'s existing output curbs expired but ahead of an emergency meeting by the producer group on Monday aimed at agreeing on a new output constraint deal.
