Opec has previously expressed scepticism about alternative energy but Mr El-Badri’s comments mark the first clear threat that the cartel might act to safeguard its interests in the face of a shift towards biofuels.
|
|
|
欧佩克此前对替代能源持怀疑态度，但巴德里的讲话标志着该组织首次明确发出威胁，面对全球向生物燃料的转变，欧佩克可能会采取行动捍卫自己的利益。 |
|
Opec is not only worried about investor activity in oil markets, but also about preserving high export prices, which underpin government budgets in member countries.
|
|
|
欧佩克不仅担心石油市场上的投资者行为，还为保持石油出口价格高企操心，高油价支撑着欧佩克成员国的政府预算。 |
|
Opec maintained its quota of 28m barrels a day at its recent meeting in Vienna, and this is close to the cartel's actual production last month.
|
|
|
在维也纳最近召开的欧佩克会议上，该组织将产量配额维持在每日2800万桶，接近该组织上月的实际产量。 |
|
Opec members rarely give out complete data on the amount of money they invest in their oil industry, viewing it as a national strategic secret.
|
|
|
欧佩克成员很少发布石油业投资金额的完整数据，它们将其看成国家战略机密。 |
|
Opec ministers agreed to keep the cartel's official production at 28m barrels a day, even though the 10-members that abide by quotas are producing 500,000 b/d less than the quota.
|
|
|
欧佩克的石油部长们同意将该组织的官方产量维持在每天2800万桶的水平，尽管受配额约束的10个成员国目前的日产量比配额少50万桶。 |
|
Opec oil ministers were last night still discussing the divisive issue of how to share the burden of cutting production and revenue.
|
|
|
欧佩克石油部长昨晚仍在探讨一个存在分歧的问题，即如何分担减产和收入降低。 |
|
Opec production quotas will almost certainly not be changed.
|
|
|
几乎可以肯定，欧佩克不会调整产量配额。 |
|
Opec will have to increase output this year to meet global oil demand and make up the shortfall from Russia, Nigeria and from other, non-Opec, producers, the IEA said.
|
|
|
国际能源机构表示，今年，欧佩克将不得不提高产量，以满足全球石油需求，并弥补因俄罗斯、尼日利亚以及其它非欧佩克产油国产量不足而留下的供应缺口。 |
|
Opec will therefore need to share the cuts and the subsequent revenue reductions among its members.
|
|
|
因此，欧佩克将需要其成员国分担减产和随之而来的收入减少造成的负担。 |
|
Opec's annual statistical bulletin also showed that the number of rigs in operation within the 11-member cartel rose 18.8 per cent last year after dropping by almost 6 per cent a year earlier.
|
|
|
该组织年度统计公报也显示，去年欧佩克11个会员国运营的钻井平台数增加了18.8%，而一年前几乎下降了6%。 |
|
Opec, which accounts for 40 per cent of the world's oil supplies, is not the only producer struggling to lift output as demand rises, however.
|
|
|
然而，在石油需求增长之际，并非只有欧佩克(供应全球40%石油)在竭力提高产量。 |
