OPEC+ adjusts output targets for 2024

OPEC+调整2024年产量目标

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies, a group known as OPEC+, on Sunday agreed to adjust their overall production level to 40.46 million barrels per day (bpd) next year.

周日，石油输出国组织(OPEC)及其盟友，即OPEC+，同意将明年的总产量水平调整为每天4046万桶。

The oil-producer alliance announced the decision in a statement released after the 35th OPEC+ ministerial meeting held in Vienna earlier in the day.

当天早些时候，产油国联盟在维也纳举行的第35届OPEC+部长级会议后发布的声明中，宣布了这一决定。

In the statement, OPEC+ reiterated its efforts to "achieve and sustain a stable oil market, and to provide long-term guidance for the market."

在声明中，OPEC+重申其努力“实现并维持稳定的石油市场，并为市场提供长期指导。“

Last October, OPEC+ slashed its production targets for 2023 (between November 2022 to December 2023) to 41.86 million bpd. In April this year, the alliance announced a further voluntary output reduction of 1.66 million bpd.

去年10月，OPEC+将2023年(2022年11月至2023年12月)的产量目标下调至4186万桶/日。今年4月，该联盟宣布进一步自愿减产166万桶/日。

OPEC+'s latest decision came amid sliding oil prices in recent weeks. The alliance's surprise production cuts in early April had pushed up oil prices to above 85 U.S. dollars a barrel, but the prices swiftly retreated and have been hovering just above 70 U.S. dollars a barrel in recent days under pressure from lingering concerns over the economic outlook and demand.

OPEC+的最新决定是在最近几周油价下跌的情况下做出的。OPEC在4月初出人意料地减产，将油价推高至每桶85美元以上，但由于对经济前景和需求的担忧挥之不去，油价迅速回落，最近几天一直徘徊在每桶70美元上方。

Following OPEC+'s announcement on Sunday, Saudi Arabia's energy ministry announced a further cut of oil production by 1 million bpd, which will start in July for a month that can be extended, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

据沙特通讯社报道，继OPEC+周日宣布减产后，沙特阿拉伯能源部宣布进一步减产100万桶/日，减产将从7月开始，为期一个月，可以延长。

The Saudi energy ministry said the voluntary output reduction is in line with the agreement reached in the OPEC+ ministerial meeting.

沙特能源部表示，自愿减产符合OPEC+部长级会议达成的协议。
