石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據1月14日離岸工程報道，沙特阿拉伯能源部長沒有因美國大力發展頁巖氣公司而有所異議，甚至預見到歐佩克及其盟國的減產會直接幫助美國的鉆井公司。
Khalid Al-Falih在阿布扎比的一次會議上說，“我們在12月迅速采取的行動，以及我們所說的正在實施的行動，是美國頁巖氣生產商的生命線?！?br />
以沙特阿拉伯為首的歐佩克今年同意削減石油產量，以支撐油價。歐佩克及其盟國歐佩克+表示，本月將開始削減120萬桶日產量，以穩定市場。Al-Falih上周表示，去年12月，他們已經將日產量削減了60萬桶。
EIA的數據顯示，美國原油生產商的日產量達到創紀錄的1170萬桶。摩根大通（JPMorgan Chase&Co.）的數據顯示，由于開采原油所需的設備、人員和原材料成本不斷上漲，頁巖勘探者需要每桶近54美元來維持利潤，而油價上漲，部分原因是沙特主導的削減。
石油價格周一下跌，原因是圍繞歐佩克需要削減多少產量以應對美國頁巖氣供應的增長仍存在不確定性。在紐約商品交易所，西德克薩斯中質油下跌89美分，至每桶50.70美元；在倫敦ICE歐洲期貨交易所，布倫特原油3月份交割價下跌72美分，至每桶59.76美元。

Saudi Arabia’s energy minister has no quarrels with U.S. shale and even sees output cuts by OPEC and its allies as directly aiding American drillers.
“The action we have taken, quickly in December and that we’re seeing implemented as we speak, is a lifeline to U.S. shale producers,” Khalid Al-Falih said at a conference in Abu Dhabi.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, led by Saudi Arabia, agreed to cut oil output this year to support prices. The group and its allies, known collectively as OPEC+, said they would start to trim 1.2 million barrels of daily production this month to stabilize the market. They already reduced output by 600,000 barrels a day in December, Al-Falih
Crude producers in the U.S. are pumping a record 11.7 million barrels a day, according to the Energy Information Administration. Shale explorers need almost $54 a barrel for their oil to eke out a profit because of rising costs for equipment, crews and raw materials needed to extract crude, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co. With oil prices rising, thanks in part to the Saudi-led cuts.
Oil fell on Monday as uncertainty persisted over how much OPEC output will need to be cut to counter rising U.S. shale supplies. West Texas Intermediate declined as much as 89 cents to $50.70 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, while Brent for March settlement fell 72 cents to $59.76 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange [calendarclick]at 8:40 a.m. local time.
