据Offshore Oil News网站6月25日华盛顿报道，英国石油公司(BP)首席执行官鲍勃• 达德利24日在华盛顿表示，中国、北美洲和欧洲不断增加的石油需求将有助于全球石油市场在今年年内平衡。
达德利是在华盛顿出席一次行业会议期间对采访他的美国彭博新闻社记者发表上述讲话的。他说，全球供应和需求最近已走向一个更好的平衡。我们预计这种趋势将继续到今年下半年并可能在今年年底前达到平衡。
达德利补充说，由于库存下降，油价在今年年底前将可能达到50美元/桶并在明年达到50至60美元/桶。
由于美国产量减少以及尼日利亚和加拿大中断缩减了供应，纽约的原油价格自2月份达到12年来低点以来迄今已反弹了大约90%，在每桶50美元的价位上徘徊。

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rising petroleum demand in China, North America, and Europe will help bring global oil markets into balance this year, BP CEO Bob Dudley has said.
As quoted in a Bloomberg report, Dudley observed that “global supply and demand recently have moved toward a better balance, and we expect this trend to continue into the second half of 2016 and probably reaching a balance by the end of the year on a daily basis.” Dudley offered his comments in a speech to the Economic Club of Washington, D.C.
As stockpiles are drawn down, oil prices will probably hit $50/bbl by the end of the year and reach $50 to $60/bbl next year, Dudley added.
Crude prices in New York have rebounded by about 90% since hitting a 12-year low in February, hovering near $50/bbl, as US output has declined and disruptions in Nigeria and Canada pared supplies.
