OPEC+ countries to boost oil production
OPEC+达成石油增产协议

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and non-OPEC countries, known as OPEC+, agreed in an online meeting on Sunday to boost oil production by 400,000 barrels a day as demand increases. OPEC and its non-OPEC allies also reached a deal to phase out the cut of 5.8 million barrels per day of oil production by September 2022 "subject to market conditions." 
由于石油需求量增加，7月18日，欧佩克与非欧佩克产油国(OPEC+)举行视频会议，与会各国达成一致，将每日增产原油40万桶。此外，OPEC+计划在2022年9月之前，在市场条件允许的情况下，逐渐退出目前580万桶/日的减产操作。

Those at the meeting noted the ongoing strengthening of market fundamentals, with oil demand showing clear signs of improvement and OECD stocks falling, as the economic recovery continued in most parts of the world with the help of accelerating vaccination programs. According to the statement, OPEC+ also agreed to higher output quotas from May 2022 for several members, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Kuwait and Iraq.
会议指出，由于疫苗接种计划加速，世界大部分地区的经济持续复苏。市场基本面正在加强，石油需求显示出明显改善的迹象，经合组织成员国的石油库存出现下降。根据声明，OPEC+还同意，从2022年5月起，提高阿联酋、沙特阿拉伯、俄罗斯、科威特和伊拉克等国的石油产量配额。
