据道琼斯7月12日消息,德国《商业日报》报导,沙特能源部长Khalid al-Falih表示,石油行业需要油价在50美元/桶之上,才能维持长期的投资和市场平衡。他表示:“要维持投资,50美元/桶的油价太低,而油价超过100美元/桶又太高,最好的选择是位于这个区间内。”受美国等国产量下降的影响,原油市场正在重新平衡,但是要花费很长的时间才能实现平衡。

Saudi Energy Min Says Oil Above $50 Needed for Investment
The oil industry needs a price of more than $50 per barrel to sustain investments and balance markets in the long term, Saudi energy minister Khalid al-Falih says, according to German business daily Handelsblatt. "And just as $50 is too low to sustain investment, prices in excess of $100 are too much. The optimum lies somewhere in between," he says. Crude oil markets are rebalancing thanks to output drops in countries such as the United States, but it would take a long time before balance was achieved, he adds.
