乌干达能源部长Irene Muloni说，乌干达希望三家石油公司在2020年生产原油之前能够投资80亿美元。周二，乌干达政府向Tullow Oil Plc和Total颁发生产许可证，该国希望原油产量大地23万桶/天。乌干达2006年发现石油，估算开采资源117亿桶。中海油是第一个获得该国生产许可证的石油公司，正在与Tullow和Total一起合作开发油田。生产的原油将供应6万桶/天给政府邀请的SK集团建设炼油厂，其余部分将通过管道输送到坦桑尼亚Tanga港口出口。（彭博社，Rigzone，8月30日消息）

8月31日，国际原油期货价格下跌。油价下跌的主要原因是美国原油和馏分油库存意外大增，而汽油库存降幅小于预期。美国能源情报署(EIA)公布的数据显示，上周美国原油库存连续第二周攀升，增加227.6万桶，市场预估为增加92.1万桶。同时，美国馏分油库存增加149.6万桶，市场预估为减少15.7万桶；汽油库存减少69.1万桶，市场预估为减少115.7万桶。分析师表示，每年这个时候库存本应减少，目前不仅库存增加令油价承压，美元走强以及飓风季节原油实际产量受到的影响微乎其微等因素也令油市承压。交易商预计，如果周五公布的美国8月就业数据显示就业岗位猛增，可能会推升美元，油市将面临更大压力。10月交货的WTI原油期货下跌1.65美元/桶，收盘价报每桶44.7美元；10月交货的布伦特原油期货下跌1.33美元/桶，收盘价报每桶47.04美元。布伦特与WTI价差为2.34美元/桶，较前一日扩大0.32美元/桶。布伦特与迪拜价差为1.46美元/桶，较前一日缩小0.02美元/桶。

沙特阿拉伯能源部长Khalid Al-Falih称：作为世界第一大原油出口国，沙特无需为石油生产设定具体目标量。该国出产石油的多少依据客户需求而定。
Al-Falih表示：尽管油价走低，但石油需求不是问题。中国的原油需求十分稳健。Al-Falih目前随副王储Mohammed bin Salman对中国进行正式访问，以期促进与中国的能源贸易。沙特代表团将于周三晚间前往日本。
沙特七月份原油产量达1067万桶/天，为历史最高。Al-Falih上周接受路透社采访时表示：尽管八月具体产量尚不清楚，但大致与七月持平。沙特具备1250万桶/天的生产能力，这使其足以应对全球任何突发性石油短缺。而目前市场因过度供给达到饱和，沙特短期内无需将产量提高至产能水平。

Saudi Arabian Energy Minister Khalid Al-Falih said the top crude exporter does not target a specific figure for its oil production and that its output is based on customers' needs.
Al-Falih said that despite low crude prices, "demand for oil does not worry me", adding that demand for crude in China remains "very healthy". The minister is part of an official Saudi visit headed by Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman aimed at bolstering relations with China. The delegation heads to Japan late on Wednesday.
Saudi Arabia produced 10.67 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude, the most in its history, in July. Al-Falih told Reuters last week that production in August had remained around that level, though he could not cite a specific number. Saudi Arabia has a production capacity of 12.5 million bpd, giving it the ability to boost output in case of any global shortage. "The market now is saturated with oversupply and we don't see in the short term a need for the kingdom to reach its maximum production capacity," he said.

周二，石油部发言人Asim Jihad表示：在收回Qayyar地区附近被伊斯兰国占据的摩苏尔市之前，伊拉克不会重新开始北部Qayyar地区油田的生产。该地区两大油田为Qayyara油田及Najma油田。在遭极端主义武装分子控制两年前，两油田重质石油产量达3万桶/天。Qayyar地区有一家可以加工当地石油的小型炼油厂。
伊拉克军队上周曾夺回Qayyara地区，石油部也开始扑灭多处油井的火灾。火灾是武装分子所为，目的为躲避空中监视并妨碍伊拉克军队行进。石油部挖掘战壕防止石油泄漏至底格里斯河。由于安全风险增加，安哥拉国家石油公司（Sonangol）在2014年解除增加Qayyara地区石油产量合同。

Iraq doesn't expect to resume production from the northern Qayyara oil region before the capture of nearby Mosul from Islamic State, an oil ministry spokesman Asim Jihad said on Tuesday.The region's two main fields, Qayyara and Najma, used to produce up to 30,000 barrels per day of heavy crude before it fell under control of the ultra-hardline militants two years ago. It has also a small refinery to process some local oil.
The Iraqi army took Qayyara back last week and oil ministry services started putting out fires at wells caused by insurgents as a tactic to escape air surveillance and hamper the progression of Iraqi forces.The oil ministry also dug trenches to prevent oil spills from reaching the Tigris river, Jihad said. Angolan oil company Sonangol pulled out from an agreement to increase output at the Qayyara fields in 2014, citing the increased security risk.

The reclamation project, executed by Van Oord, was the first phase of KNPC’s investment programme for this new refinery, it stated.This project comprises land reclamation for the construction of a port and the first phase of a LNG import facility, it added.

Oil futures rose on Tuesday supported by production suspensions in the US Gulf due to an expected tropical storm and speculation that producers meeting in Algeria next month will act to prop up prices.Brent crude futures were trading at $49.58 per barrel at 1358 GMT, up 32 cents from the previous close.US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude was up 39 cents at $47.37 a barrel.Oil and gas operators in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico have shut output equal to 168,334 barrels per day (bpd) of oil and 190 million cubic feet per day of natural gas as a precaution against a tropical storm, the U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement said on Monday.
Shell said it had shut production at its Coulomb field in the region after BP shut its Na Kika platform ahead of Tropical Depression Nine.Oil prices are caught between concerns about oversupply and a strong dollar on the one hand and the prospect of further jawboning from Opec members that some form of production freeze could be on the cards," CMC Markets senior analyst Michael Hewson said.

伊拉克将支持OPEC为提升油价所做的冻结石油产出的决定，伊拉克总理Haider al-Abadi周二在巴格达一场记者招待会上如是说。
“在OPEC会议上，我们将支持石油冻产决定。”石油输出国将于下月会面，这是目前为止伊拉克就“石油冻产”立场问题作出的最明确的表态。作为仅次于沙特阿拉伯的OPEC第二大石油生产国，伊拉克先前在此事上却传达了相反的信号。
石油部长Jabar Al Luaibi上周表示：伊拉克将与其他OPEC成员国一道，在提升油价方面扮演积极踊跃的角色。但与此同时，他又计划增加石油产出。目前该国石油产量维持在460万桶/天。
伊拉克95%的预算来自石油销售。在低油价和打击伊斯兰国高成本的双重拖累下，该国经济已陷入衰退。

Iraq would support a decision by Opec to freeze oil output to prop up prices, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi told a news conference in Baghdad on Tuesday.
"We are with freezing production at the Opec meeting," he said, in the clearest indication yet about the position Iraq will support when the oil exporters' group meets next month.
Opec's second-largest producer, after Saudi Arabia, Iraq has previously sent contradictory signals about its position.
Oil Minister Jabar Al Luaibi last week said Iraq plans to play "a very active role" with other Opec members to support prices while at the same time expanding its own output, which now stands at about 4.6 million barrels per day.
Iraq funds 95 per cent of its budget through oil sales. Its economy is reeling under the double impact of lower crude prices and the cost of fighting Islamic State.

Quattro Exploration and Production Ltd.近日发布截至2016年6月30日的第二季度财务业绩报告，2016年上半年每股亏损0.02美元。2016年上半年公司的日平均产油量为1593桶，与2015年同期产量1390桶相比增长了15%。
第二季度Quattro的油气日产量为1540桶，产量下跌的原因是在低油价背景下，公司决定限制资本投资。Quattro相信多样化的油气生产是行业发展最基本的要求，未来Quattro将增加60%的可持续性油气产量。在过去的一年里，第二季度的天然气价格达到0.6美元/千立方英尺的最低点，一定程度上抵消了油价的增长。公司在2015年第四季度通过收购来大幅增长石油储量的决议可谓十分及时，当前天然气价格仅在2.5至3.5美元之间浮动，这是20年以来的最低价。

Quattro Exploration and Production Ltd. (TSX-V:QXP) ('Quattro' or the 'Company') announces its financial results for the quarter ended June 30th, 2016, reporting a loss of $0.02 per share for the 6 month period ended June 30, 2016. Despite these challenges Quattro is pleased to report that in the first half of 2016 production averaged 1,593 boe per day, representing a year-over-year increase of 15% from the average production of 1,390 boe per day recorded during the same per period in 2015.
In the second quarter oil and natural gas production at Quattro was limited to 1,540 boe/d due to a decision to limit capital investments to only oil production, during a period of extremely low commodity prices. Quattro continues to believe that a diversified production base of oil and natural gas is a fundamental requirement within the industry, and for the foreseeable future Quattro intends to increase oil production to where it will represent a sustainable 60% of its daily production, with this transformation being accelerated with the completion of its divestiture plan previously announced on August 2, 2016. Over the past 12 months the Company's oil production continues to increasingly offset natural gas prices that in the 2nd quarter briefly reached lows of $0.60 per mcf. The Company's decision in the 4th quarter of 2015 to more aggressively increase oil reserves and production through acquisitions has proven to be timely as natural gas prices are only now recovering to a more seasonally adjusted price range of $2.50 to $3.50 per mcf from prices not seen in over 20 years.
