OPEC hält an Förder-Niveau von 30 Millionen Barrel Öl pro Monat fest

Die OPEC kommt ihren Versprechungen nach und produziert weiter 30 Millionen Barrel Öl pro Tag. Bei Ölpreisen von unter 50 USD wird sich jedoch der Druck auf mehr und mehr OPEC-Mitglieder erhöhen. So ist bspw. die Profitabilität der Ölproduktion in Venezuela komplett unter Wasser..

Platts Survey: OPEC Pumps 30.03 Million Barrels of Crude Oil Per Day in DecemberUp 20,000 Barrels Per Day (b/d) from November Despite Sharp Drop in Libyan Output 

LONDON, Jan. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Oil production from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) totaled 30.03 million b/d in December, up 20,000 b/d from November, a Platts survey of OPEC and oil industry officials and analysts showed Friday. The increase comes as Iraq effectively resumed exports from the north through Turkey for the first time since early March, more than offsetting a large drop in Libyan production.

Saudi Arabia maintained output at 9.6 million b/d, the survey showed, underscoring the country's readiness to see oil prices continue to fall rather than support them by reducing supply.

Saudi oil minister Ali Naimi has ruled out an output cut, even if prices fall to $20 per barrel (/b). Naimi in November drove OPEC's decision to maintain its 30 million b/d output ceiling despite sliding prices and projections of sharply lower demand for OPEC crude oil in the first half of 2015..
