据7月15日RT报道，欧佩克及其盟友已达成了一项产量协议，原油价格周四下跌近1%，市场预期原油供应将大幅增加。布伦特原油期货下跌59美分，至每桶74.17美元，跌幅0.8%。美国原油基准西德克萨斯中质原油价格下跌62美分，至每桶72.51美元，跌幅0.9%。
在周四油价下跌之前，欧佩克＋达成石油增产协议的报告一公布，这两个基准价格都下跌了2%以上。向供应紧张的市场增加石油供给的前景本应在本月早些时候得到解决，但欧佩克+成员国：沙特和阿联酋之间爆发了争端。
阿联酋一直在拖延该协议，不愿将此前达成的减产协议延长至2022年4月以后，除非其产量配额得到提高。据报道，这一妥协在周三达成，此前欧佩克＋同意从4月份开始将阿联酋的基准或最大产量提高到每天365万桶。基准直接影响减产的实际数量和产量配额。
在疫情期间，石油供应过剩，欧佩克+成员国从其基准上削减了相同的比例。随着全球正从疫情危机中复苏，需求不断增长，拥有更高的基准将使阿联酋能够增加石油产量。
多数欧佩克+国家支持的增产协议提出了一项计划，要求该组织在2022年12月之前将日产量提高至40万桶。然而，有关这笔交易的报道尚未得到官方证实。

Oil prices slip amid reports of OPEC+ reaching compromise align="justify"> Crude prices fell nearly 1% align="justify"> Brent crude futures were down 59 cents, or 0.8%, to $74.17 a barrel. The US crude benchmark West Texas Intermediate dropped 62 cents, or 0.9%, and stood at $72.51 a barrel.
Thursday’s price decline followed another significant drop the previous day, with both benchmarks losing more than 2% after reports came out that OPEC+ reached a deal align="justify"> The prospect of increasing oil supplies to the tight market was due to be settled earlier this month, but a dispute broke out between OPEC+ members, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The UAE was stalling the deal, unwilling to extend the previously reached supply cut agreement beyond April 2022 unless its production quota was raised.
The compromise was reportedly reached align="justify"> The baseline directly affects the actual amount of production cuts and output quotas. OPEC+ members cut the same percentage from their baseline during the pandemic, when oil was in oversupply. Having a higher baseline amid growing demand as the world is recovering from the Covid-19 crisis would allow the UAE to pump more.
The output increase agreement backed by most OPEC+ countries laid out a plan for the group to raise production up to 400,000 barrels a day until December 2022. However, the reports of the deal have not been officially /confirm/ied.
