El petróleo cae este lunes más de un 3% a pesar de la prórroga de recortes acordada por la OPEP+

$MCKITTRICK, CA - MARCH 23: Pump jacks and wells are seen in an oil field on the Monterey Shale formation where gas and oil extraction using hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is on the verge of a boom on March 23, 2014 near McKittrick, California. Critics of fracking in California cite concerns over water usage and possible chemical pollution of ground water sources as California farmers are forced to leave unprecedented expanses of fields fallow in one of the worst droughts in California history. Concerns also include the possibility of earthquakes triggered by the fracking process which injects water, sand and various chemicals under high pressure into the ground to break the rock to release oil and gas for extraction though a well. The 800-mile-long San Andreas Fault runs north and south on the western side of the Monterey Formation in the Central Valley and is thought to be the most dangerous fault in the nation. Proponents of the fracking boom saying that the expansion of petroleum extraction is good for the economy and security by developing more domestic energy sources and increasing gas and oil exports.

Los futuros del barril de Texas y de Brent caen este lunes a pesar de que la Organización de Países Exportadores de Petróleo (OPEP) y otros países asociados acordaron este domingo prorrogar los recortes de producción de petróleo acordados el año pasado.

De esta forma, la cotización sobre las 18.00 hora peninsular del West Texas Intermediate (WTI) cedía un 3,64%, hasta los 74,19 dólares (68,13 euros), y el de Brent, de referencia en Europa, lo hacía un 3,44%, hasta los 78,32 dólares (71,92 euros).

Ambos índices ya arrastran bajadas de entre un 0,6% y un 1% desde la semana pasada, en parte, por la posibilidad de que el actual entorno de tipos de interés elevados se cronifique en el tiempo y merme la demanda de Estados Unidos, principal consumidor mundial de petróleo.

La OPEP+ ha decido mantener hasta finales de 2025 la rebaja de 1,65 millones de barriles diarios anunciada en abril de 2023, aunque la medida debía expirar originalmente al concluir 2024.

Asimismo, ha prolongado hasta este septiembre la disminución de 2,2 millones de barriles diarios decretada en noviembre antes de que «se elimine gradualmente mes a mes» de cara a finales de septiembre de 2025. Este recorte debería haber vencido este mismo junio.

El cártel del oro negro también ha publicado sus cuotas de producción para 2025 tanto para los estados miembros como los no miembros, que son, por lo general, similares a las de este año.
