8个OPEC+成员国自4月起逐步退出2024年1月启动的自愿减产，并在5月至7月加速恢复产量。该联盟计 划于7月6日召开会议决定8月产量水平。 石油输出国组织及其盟友（OPEC+）真的能向世界倾销原油吗？这远比石油交易员想象的更难。 看跌原油的交易员预言世界即将被原油淹没，但一位深耕行业30年的投资组合经理指出，一个被忽视的 关键因素——随着油井老化导致的自然减产，可能正在悄然收紧全球库存。 "原油价格终将上涨，因为市场会意识到，除了短期波动外，市场其实很难被过度供应，而全球（产 量）递减率更是难以克服。"Hotchkis & Wiley投资组合经理斯坦·马杰尔（Stan Majcher）表示。 然而今年以来，市场似乎并不担心需求超过供应，因为OPEC+不断释放增产信号。他表示，美国、圭 亚那和巴西等国的额外供应预计将完全覆盖需求。 历史上，常规油田平均年递减率约6%，项目从钻井到投产需数年，因此生产商不愿削减资本支出。而 如今，埃克森美孚2024年8月报告显示，全球油气供应若无持续投资将"几乎归零"，石油产量年自然递 减率已达15%。这意味着仅第一年全球供应就将减少逾1500万桶/日。 "6月13日伊以冲突 ...
