美国页岩油企业准备在油价战中奋起还击

据油价网2020年4月7日休斯顿报道，英国《金融时报》日前援引业内消息人士的话报导称，美国页岩油企业已开始与华盛顿展开游说活动，要求对俄罗斯和沙特阿拉伯采取更强硬的立场，迫使他们减产。

消息人士称，这些措施包括对沙特阿拉伯原油进口征收关税，并禁止向大型的莫蒂瓦炼油厂供应沙特原油。美国最大炼油厂莫蒂瓦炼油厂由沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司（沙特阿美）控股和经营。

据英国《金融时报》报道，一位业内消息人士表示，这项活动已聘请美国前能源部长里克?佩里帮忙，而佩里的参与已经产生了影响。

沙特阿拉伯本月宣布将把原油日供应量增加到1230万桶，将原油日产能提升至1300万桶。美国页岩生产商是页岩行业受打击最严重的参与者之一。然而现在，沙特阿拉伯和莫斯科似乎都在重新考虑。

俄罗斯表示，从4月起将不会把原油日产量提高30-50万桶，而利雅得则呼吁召开一次欧佩克紧急会议，讨论油价跌破每桶30美元以后的下一步举措。

美国总统日前在其推特上表示，他希望并期待俄罗斯和沙特阿拉伯达成协议，每天共同削减1000万至1500万桶原油产量。尽管在没有其他国家(尤其是美国)参与的情况下，两国不太可能同意如此大规模的削减，但趋势可能正在改变。

U.S. Shale Ready To Fire Back In The Oil Price War

U.S. shale oil companies have started a lobbying campaign with Washington to take a more aggressive stance against Russia and Saudi Arabia to force them to cut oil production, the Financial Times has reported, citing industry sources.

Among the measures, according to the sources, is the proposal to introduce tariffs on Saudi oil imports and blocking shipments to the massive Motiva refinery, which is majority-owned and operated by Saudi Aramco.

Motiva is the largest oil refinery in the United States.

The campaign has taken on former Energy Secretary Rick Perry to help, according to the FT report, and his participation is already making a difference, one industry source has said.

U.S. shale producers were among the hardest-hit players in the industry when Saudi Arabia launched its game of chicken with Russia announcing it would increase oil supply to 12.3 million bpd this month, boosting its production capacity to 13 million bpd. Yet now both Riyadh and Moscow seem to be reconsidering.

Russia said it would not increase production by the 300,000-500,000 bpd it previously said it could add to its average daily from April, while Riyadh has called for an OPEC meeting to discuss next moves as oil price slumped below $30 a barrel.

President said in a tweet he hoped and expected Russia and Saudi Arabia would reach an agreement to collectively cut between 10 and 15 million bpd. While it is highly unlikely the two would agree to such a massive cut without anyone else - notably the U.S. - taking part, too, the tide may be changing.
