中國石化新聞網訊 據11月29日Kuwait Times報導，歐佩克秘書長巴金多表示，今年全球石油行業的投資下降了近30%，甚至比2014年至2016年經濟低迷時期的降幅還要大，當時石油行業仍在復甦狀態中。巴金多在在第八次歐佩克和非歐佩克國家技術會議上發表講話時表示：「石油行業需要12.6萬億美元投資，以減少波動，並避免未來可能出現的能源危機。」此次會議通過電話會議的形式舉行，將分別於11月30日和12月1日舉行的第180次歐佩克會議和第12次歐佩克及非歐佩克國家部長級會議做準備。在發言中，巴爾金多肯定了技術會議在為歐佩克和非歐佩克部長級會議提供可靠、準確的分析，為決策提供重要基礎方面發揮的關鍵作用。他強調，有必要在新冠肺炎疫情期間繼續開展合作與對話，並指出:「我們正面臨疫情再度爆發的局面，新冠肺炎再次鎖定了一些國家和地區。而這一次，我們必須繼續前進。」在這種情況下，他還讚揚了與會者為維護石油市場穩定所做的努力，他表示:「到目前為止我們取得的成功是需要極大的耐心、忍耐力和不願放棄的毅力的。」
關於最近新冠肺炎疫苗的開發，巴金多指出:「疫苗進入市場的前景增加了人們的樂觀情緒。然而，我們必須繼續堅守陣地，直到這些措施能夠降低感染率。要時刻警醒，我們仍處在這場災難的最嚴重時刻。」巴爾金多還談到了疫情對世界經濟和全球石油市場造成的毀滅性影響，以及對石油部門的投資帶來的大幅下降。他讚揚沙烏地阿拉伯在前所未有的挑戰和動蕩時期，發揮的模範領導作用。他強調，G20在促進對話、合作和多邊主義方面發揮了重要作用，以鞏固經濟復甦進程，為可持續能源未來提供重要支持。
巴金多最後強調，在歐佩克成立60周年之際，該組織在困難時期表現出了無與倫比的韌性，肯定了它的重要性和必要性。技術會議為市場提供了一個就技術問題進行溝通和分享數據見解的平臺，從而加深彼此之間的聯繫和對世界石油市場所面臨挑戰的了解。

Oil industry requires $12.6 trillion in investment: OPEC
Secretary-General of OPEC Mohammad Sanusi Barkindo said investment in the global oil industry dropped by nearly 30 percent this year, even more than in the 2014-2016 downturn, from which the industry was still recovering when COVID-19 struck. 「The oil industry requires $12.6 trillion in investment to reduce volatility and avoid a possible future energy crisis,」 he said in an address to the Eighth Technical Meeting of the OPEC and non-OPEC countries of the Declaration of Cooperation (DoC). The meeting is being held via teleconference in preparation for the 180th Meeting of the OPEC Conference and the 12th OPEC and non-OPEC Ministerial Meeting, scheduled on 30 November and 1 December, respectively. In his remarks, Barkindo acknowledged the key role played by the DoC technical meetings in providing OPEC and non-OPEC Ministerial Meetings with reliable and accurate analyses, which form a crucial foundation for decision-making. The Secretary-General highlighted the need for ongoing cooperation and dialogue during the COVID-19 pandemic, noting, 「We are facing a resurgence of the pandemic, which is locking down countries and regions once again. And once again we must keep moving forward.」 In this context, the Secretary-General commended the efforts undertaken by the DoC participants to support oil market stability, stating, 「The successes to date have called for great patience, endurance and unwillingness to give up, values strongly displayed by our DoC Countries over these past months. I congratulate you for the fruits of your labor so far.」
On the recent COVID-19 vaccine development, Barkindo said, 「The perspective of vaccines coming to the market has urged on positive sentiment. Yet, we must continue to hold our ground until these are able to knock down infection rates. We are still in the thick of this disaster.」 Barkindo also addressed the devastating impact of the pandemic on the world economy and the global oil market, noting that investment in the oil sector has declined tremendously. He praised the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for its exemplary leadership of the G20 during a period of unseen challenges and volatility related to the pandemic. He highlighted that the G20 has been instrumental in fostering dialogue, cooperation and multilateralism to underpin the recovery process and help support a sustainable energy future.
The Secretary-General concluded by stressing that in OPEC’s 60th Anniversary year, the Organization has demonstrated unparalleled resilience during difficult times, affirming its relevance and necessity. The technical meeting provides OPEC Member Countries and non-OPEC participants of the DoC with a platform to connect on technical issues and share data insights, thus deepening bonds with one another and mutual understanding of the issues facing the world oil market.
