哈萨克斯坦拒绝冻结产量

据路透社3月10日报道，哈萨克斯坦能源部长Vladimir Shkolnik于周二表示，该国没有冻结产量的打算，如果油价回升到每桶40美元以上，将把产量提升到原定的每日7700万桶。

Shkolnik还表示，OPEC和非OPEC国家之间举办的讨论冻结产量的会议，没有邀请哈萨克斯坦参加。他说：“如果我们被邀请了，我们会参加。”

哈萨克斯坦不是OPEC成员国，政府在去年11月制定的预算中，将2016年石油产量目标定为每日7700万桶，前提是油价回升到每桶40美元以上。不过由于布伦特原油价格一直保持在每桶30美元上下浮动，这个目标在上月被下调到了每日7400万桶。

Kazakhstan balks at freezing oil output

Kazakhstan indicated on Thursday it had no plan to freeze oil output, as suggested by a group of major producers, and would instead ramp up production to its original target of 77 million tonnes per year if the oil price stayed above $40 a barrel.

Energy Minister Vladimir Shkolnik also signalled that the biggest ex-Soviet oil producer after Russia had not been invited to take part in a planned meeting of OPEC and non-OPEC oil producers to discuss freezing output.

"If we are invited, we will (take part in the meeting)," Shkolnik told reporters. Kazakhstan is not a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.

The Kazakh government in its budget in November had targeted oil output of 77 million tonnes in 2016, assuming an average oil price of $40 a barrel, but it lowered the target to 74 million tonnes last month as Brent crude hovered nearer $30.
