Internationally traded Brent crude dropped $1.33 a barrel to $33.35 after Mr Naimi’s remarks yesterday, while the US marker slid $1.54 a barrel to $31.85.
纳伊米昨日发表此言后,国际油价基准布伦特(Brent)原油下跌1.33美元,至每桶33.35美元,而美国基准下跌1.54美元,至每桶31.85美元。
The minister was speaking at an annual conference of US energy industry leaders and companies whose prolific exploitation of shale deposits helped topple oil prices, wreaking havoc on the economies of oil-rich countries.
沙特石油部长是在美国能源业领导者和公司的年度会议上发表讲话的。美国企业竞相开发页岩储量的行为,近年推动油价下滑,给产油国的经济带来严重破坏。
Mr Naimi denied Saudi Arabia was waging a war with US shale producers. But he said cutting volumes would only provide economic support for expensive oil, such as output from the US or the oil sands of Canada. “The producers of these high-cost barrels must find a way to lower their costs, borrow cash or liquidate,” he said. “It sounds harsh, and unfortunately it is, but it is a more efficient way to rebalance markets. Cutting low-cost production [such as Saudi Arabia’s] to subsidise higher-cost supplies only delays an inevitable reckoning.”
纳伊米否认沙特挑起与美国页岩生产商之间的战争。但他表示,减产将只会为昂贵石油(比如来自美国页岩或加拿大油砂的产出)提供经济支持。“这些高成本生产商必须设法降低成本,借入现金,或者清盘,”他表示。“这听起来很无情,而且不幸的是确实如此,但它是推动市场达到再平衡的效率较高的方式。削减低成本产量(如沙特的产出)来补贴成本较高的供应,只会延迟必然的清算。”
