沙特阿美削減了7月份對(duì)亞洲的原油供應(yīng)

據(jù)能源世界網(wǎng)6月15日新加坡報(bào)道，七位消息人士周一表示，世界最大的石油出口商沙特阿美公司（Saudi Aramco）已經(jīng)減少了其將向亞洲至少五名買(mǎi)家供應(yīng)的七月原油量。

據(jù)知情人士稱(chēng)，此次減產(chǎn)主要針對(duì)中型和重型品級(jí)。

此前，石油輸出國(guó)組織(OPEC)及其包括俄羅斯在內(nèi)的盟國(guó)達(dá)成協(xié)議，直到7月底將日產(chǎn)量削減970萬(wàn)桶，相當(dāng)于疫情爆發(fā)前全球需求的10%。

沙特阿拉伯表示，在全球需求復(fù)蘇的跡象出現(xiàn)之際，其將結(jié)束更深層次的自愿削減。

據(jù)消息人士稱(chēng)，盡管煉油利潤(rùn)率和石油需求尚未趕上原油估值的上漲，但中東供應(yīng)趨緊，煉廠對(duì)原油需求改善，促使沙特阿美7月對(duì)亞洲官方銷(xiāo)售價(jià)格的上調(diào)幅度超過(guò)預(yù)期。

BPCL煉油廠主管R Ramachandran表示， OSP增加讓我們感到意外，對(duì)煉油商沒(méi)有吸引力，尤其是在煉油利潤(rùn)率較低的市場(chǎng)。

據(jù)知情人士透露，這導(dǎo)致至少一家主要的亞洲買(mǎi)家要求將7月份的合同數(shù)量減少近三分之一。

另外兩位消息人士表示，他們將在本月增加購(gòu)買(mǎi)跨地區(qū)套利貨物，如西非原油和美國(guó)原油，這些貨物的價(jià)格更具競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力，并減少購(gòu)買(mǎi)昂貴的中東石油。

Saudi Aramco cuts July crude supplies to at least 5 buyers in Asia

World's largest oil exporter Saudi Aramco has reduced the volume of July-loading crude that it will supply to at least five buyers in Asia, seven sources said on Monday.

The cuts were mainly for medium and heavy grades and were seen at refineries in countries, the sources with knowledge of the matter said.

The move followed a deal struck by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies including Russia to keep production cuts of 9.7 million barrels per day, or 10% of pre-coronavirus world demand, until the end of July.

Saudi Arabia said it will end its deeper, voluntary cuts amid signs of global demand recovering.

Tighter Middle East supplies and improving refinery appetite for crude have prompted Saudi Aramco to hike July official selling prices (OSPs) to Asia more than expected even though refining margins and oil demand have yet to catch up with the rising crude valuation, the sources said.

"Increased OSPs have caught us by surprise and these are not attractive to refiners specially in a market where refining margins are weak," said BPCL's head of refineries R Ramachandran.

This has led at least one major Asian buyer to request for almost a third less of its contract volume for July, one of the sources with direct knowledge of the matter said.

Two other sources said they will increase the purchase of cross-region arbitrage cargoes this month, such as West African crude and U.S. crude, that are priced more competitively and reduce the purchase of expensive Middle Eastern oil.

Saudi Aramco did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment outside of business hours.
