據路透社4月20日新德里報道，聯合組織數據倡議(JODI)周一表示，沙特阿拉伯2月原油出口量降至8個月來最低，原因是這個全球最大的石油出口國自愿限制產量以支撐油價。

　　2月原油出口量從上月的658.2萬桶/日降至562.5萬桶/日，為2020年6月以來最低。

　　1月出口量曾連續第七個月上升，至2020年4月以來最高水平。

　　2月原油產量也從1月的910.3萬桶/日降至去年6月以來最低，為814.7萬桶/日。

　　由于新的病毒變種使石油需求受到質疑，石油輸出國組織(OPEC)及其盟友的實際領導人沙特阿拉伯，在2月、3月和4月自愿減產100萬桶/日，這是與OPEC+產油國達成的協議的一部分。

　　2月原油和石油產品出口總量從一個月前的775萬桶/日降至686萬桶/日。

　　該國國內煉廠原油吞吐量降至228.1萬桶/日，而2月原油庫存降至13457.5萬桶。

　　2月石油產品出口量增至123萬桶/日，同期石油產品需求量小幅上升至188.5萬桶/日。

　　月度出口數據由利雅得和其他歐佩克成員國向JODI提供，JODI在其網站上公布。

　　Saudi crude oil exports drop to eight-month low in February

　　New Delhi: Saudi Arabia's crude oil exports fell to their lowest in eight months in February, the Joint Organisations Data Initiative (JODI) said on Monday, as the world's biggest oil exporter voluntarily capped output to support oil prices.

　　Crude exports fell to 5.625 million barrels per day (bpd), their lowest since June 2020 in February, from 6.582 million bpd in the prior month.

　　Exports had risen for a seventh straight month, to their highest since April 2020, in January.

　　Crude output for February also dropped to its lowest since June last year at 8.147 million bpd, from 9.103 million bpd in January.

　　Saudi Arabia, the de facto leader of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allies, voluntarily cut output by 1 million bpd in February, March and April as part of a deal with OPEC+ producers after new virus variants cast doubts over fuel demand.

　　Total crude and oil products exports fell to 6.86 million bpd in February from 7.75 million bpd a month earlier.

　　The country's domestic refinery crude throughput fell to 2.281 million bpd, while crude stocks fell to 134.575 million barrels in February.

　　Exports of oil products rose to 1.23 million bpd in February and demand for oil products edged higher to 1.885 million bpd in the same period.

　　Monthly export figures are provided by Riyadh and other OPEC members to JODI, which publishes them on its website.
