據油氣新聞1月12日消息稱，惠譽解決方案公司在一份新的報告中表示，2022年阿曼蘇丹國的原油產量預計將增長9.8%，達到110萬桶/天，有助于進一步縮小該國今年的經常賬戶赤字至GDP的0.2%。

惠譽國際評級旗下的惠譽解決方案集團(FSG)表示:“油價和阿曼產量的光明前景將是2022年商品貿易順差繼續擴大的主要驅動因素。”

此次增產正值歐佩克+聯盟(阿曼蘇丹國是該聯盟的簽署國之一)開始縮減產量配額之際。該聯盟于2020年初通過了減產配額，以支撐崩潰的國際油價。根據最新的年度預算，2021年的平均石油產量為95.7萬桶/天，預計到2022年將增至105.5萬桶/天。

另一方面，由于 bp Oman 的 Block 61 氣田和阿曼中部的 Mabrouk 項目的新增產量，預計天然氣產量將增長 4% 至 397 億立方米。

Omani oil production to rise 9.8% in 2022

The Sultanate of Oman’s crude oil production is projected to rise 9.8 per cent to 1.1 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2022, helping further narrow the country’s current account deficit to 0.2 per cent of GDP for the year, Fitch Solutions said in a new report.

“Bright prospects for oil prices and Omani production will be the main driver of a continued widening of the surplus in the trade in goods balance in 2022,” Fitch Solutions Group (FSG), an affiliate of Fitch Ratings, stated.

The output increase comes as the OPEC+ alliance, of which the Sultanate of Oman is a signatory, begins a rollback of production quotas adopted at the start of 2020 to shore up collapsing international oil prices. Oil production averaged 957K bpd in 2021, and is projected to rise to an average of 1,055K bpd in 2022, per the latest General Budget for the year.

Natural gas production, on the other hand, is anticipated to increase 4 per cent to 39.7 billion cubic metres, buoyed by new volumes from BP Oman’s Block 61 gas fields and the Mabrouk projects in central Oman.
